Wifi direct for Google Glass or other options

Question

I'm trying to create a simple glassware using GDK which wirelessly receives data from a laptop and uses the data to create some visual representation.

I'm wondering if the current Google Glass supports wifi direct or other kind of wifi p2p connection, and it can be used for the idea.

Or is Bluetooth the only available option for this kind of applications?

Thank you so much in advance.

Answer 1

Since Glass is basically Android, anything that would work on Android should work with it. I think websockets will do what you want, and there are multiple implementations of that for Android and other platforms.

That said, be sure to remember that Glass is a relatively weak system with a short battery life, so maintaining long lasting communications could be costly. Use caution.
