Google Glass will help you navigate the GTA

Fans of the famous game Grand Theft Auto got another reason to buy augmented reality glasses Goоgle Glass. The developers adapted the new product from Gоogle in order to help players navigate the game.
Mike Digiovanni taught Gоogle Glаss to display the minimap in the game Grаnd Theft Auto 3. Installed on the computer, the program can monitor the area of the screen which has a map, and on Wi-Fi sends the photos to Gоogle Glass. The main problem of the new method is high energy consumption.
Digiovanni not come up with a method to support the work of the service when the screen is off, so the glasses must constantly display the video and support the Wi-Fi connection. The battery in this mode is less than an hour. This problem stems from the fact that we need a programming interface for Glass is not yet released, so the developer is forced to use the normal software package for Android.



Yet the programmer decided not to do created tool is available to all. He said that the main objective of the project is testing the possibilities of Glass as an additional display.
