Google Glass Menu Options (Button Navigation)


I have 3 simple menu options.

Currently Tapping or calling Application Name Say"Hello World" takes them to Application home. For menu options to show up, user is got to tap again To switch menu, user will have to swipe forward To return to home, user will have to swipe back

I am sure, our friends in business will say make it simple. The user base will not always like voice because they may be in a noisy environment though I have one menu option with a text view where I expect voice input.

If I were to provide multiple buttons on Application home, Is there a way for users to navigate between buttons and allow them to tap.

Thanks


Solution

  • Menu buttons are pretty inconsistent with how Glassware typically operates. Menu options are each presented on a card, since they're easier to read and control by a user. The swipe and select method is probably easier than buttons on Glass.

    More commonly, however, would be to use a different voice command to trigger each operation instead of using a menu. Typically with Glass, you don't think about what app you're running - you think about what command you want to issue to Glass.

    If you really feel you need buttons, and that voice commands are inappropriate, you may wish to reconsider the interface completely. It may just not be a good design fit for Glass.
