Google has updated Glass to a newer version of software with a handful of new features, including some additional voice commands and a brand new browser. The voice commands are extremely helpful, as Glass users will now be able to use verbal commands to make Glass narrate content such as text messages. Telling Glass to “read aloud” will cue it to read the contents of a text out to you, and you’ll now be able to tell Glass to create a reply text for you, completely hands free. You can also scroll through your Gmail contacts and compose texts by scrolling through and tapping a contact’s picture from Glass’s main menu. It isn’t as fancy as the totally voice controlled texting, but a nice feature nonetheless.
Google has also implemented a web browser into Glass, although you’re going to need to use your hands to navigate the web, not your voice. Sliding your finger across the Glass touchpad will scroll, sliding two fingers will zoom in and out, and tapping will click a link. Holding your finger on the touchpad and moving your head around will pan the browser as well. Cool, right?
Glass owners should expect this update to start rolling out to their devices in the next few days.
