Google Android Keyboard updated

Google updated their Keyboard, they may be add some option their Android Kyeboard such as

brings spoken emoji and a few other changes.

Google may have pulled down the unofficial Android L keyboard from Google Play, but at least they are making it up to us by updating the official keyboard with a few changes. The new update is listed as version 3.1.19633, and while not a major update, it does make a few noticeable tweaks.
For starters, it appears that Google has added support for spoken emoji, which allow you to add select emoji using hotwords such as “smiley face”, “sad face” and a few others. They’ve also moved the voice input shortcut to a new spot and have added new input languages: Indian English, Swiss Italian, Basque, Galician, and Latin American Spanish.

Interestingly enough, they’ve also removed the long-press delay adjustment, though folks that have used Android L’s keyboard won’t be too surprised to hear this, as the setting no longer exists in the preview version as well. There could be a few other hidden features, changes and bug fixes underneath, but these seem to be the most noticeable things.
In Google’s usual fashion, the update will rollout in stages, but those that don’t like waiting can grab the APK now and manually install it.

Learn everything about Google Glass

Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD). It was developed by Google  with the mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer.  Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format. Wearers communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands. Google started selling Google Glass in the USA on April 15, 2014 for a limited period of time for $1500,  before it later became officially available to the general public on May 15, 2014 for the same price. Before that users were required to receive invitations before they could try Google Glass.

Google provides four prescription frame choices for $225.00 U.S and free with the purchase of any new Glass unit. It is necessary to remove a small screw in order to move the Google Glass from one frame to another. Google entered in a partnership with the Italian eyewear company Luxottica, owners of the Ray-Ban, Oakley, and other brands, to offer additional frame designs.

Development

Google Glass was developed by Google X, the facility within Google devoted to technological advancements such as driverless cars.

The military began researching head-mounted displays in 1995. Google Glass is smaller and slimmer than previous head-mounted display designs.

The Google Glass prototype resembled standard eyeglasses with the lens replaced by a head-up display. In the summer of 2011, Google engineered a prototype that weighed 8 pounds (3,600 g); it is now lighter than the average pair of sunglasses.

In April 2013, the Explorer Edition was made available to Google I/O developers in the United States for $1,500.
