I was wondering if is possible to use GDK to develop a app capable of creating vignettes on Glass, like this.

Is it possible?

If you see the tags there is a specific tag google-gdk for that purpose. – llrs
What "vignette" do you want to create (location? time? other?). You might send the image to your server and add the vignette as a response (like the "cats" improve picture demo). – ErstwhileIII
I imagine the vignette being independent from the running program. If I am using Google Maps, the vignette should be created with the displayed map. If I am using Facebook, the vignette should show the facebook screen... and so on. – Emerson Takahashi

Interesting question. I imagine your app would need to do 3 steps:

  1. Take a screenshot
  2. Take a picture
  3. Put them together

Steps 2 and 3 are pretty easy and shouldn't be a problem on Glass.

When it comes to step 1, you can take a screenshot from your app in Android by creating a bitmap from a view, which should work on Glass as well. But I don't think you can screenshot other apps or the timeline, so I don't think it is doable in general.
