Until now, application developers could only use the so-called Google's Mirror API that only allowed them to create software capable of displaying certain information on the screen of the Google Glass. Now and thanks to the liberation of the new Gdk, developers have real access to the source code of the smart glasses and the set of sensors that accompany them.
