We are very excited to bring Yo to Google Glass as we continue to expand Yo accross as many devices and platforms as possible.

Installing Yo on Glass

While we wait for Google to approve Yo to be added to the MyGlass app store, current explorers can grab the apk from here.

Need help installing? No worries, here’s a guide

Using the app

Once installed, the app can be opened via a simple tap on the home screen.

Signing in

How do you login without a keyboard? Or voice? We took the same approach that Google did with Wi-Fi networks. The user is prompted to go to a website where they can scan a QR code in order to login.

Sending Yos

Gestures

One Finger Tap: Send a Yo
Two Finger Tap: Send a YoYo
Long Press: Open menu

Receiving Yos

When a Yo is received, Glass will automatically turn on and blare the sound of an enthusiastic “Yo” or a “YoYo” through the bone conduction speakers.

Yes, you can even view links on Glass

Tapping on a Yo with a link will load it on Glass’ very own web browser, which allows the user to navigate web pages via multi-touch gestures.

Enjoy!
