GDK is released. Where is the Emulator?

Question

Google Glass Development kit was released yesterday. But, I can't find any emulator. Where is it? Is there any emulator like an android emulator out there, where we can test these native google glass apps?

Answer 1

Glass is basically an android device. Just create your own ADV (using android v15) with a resolution of 640x320.

You could also use the released img/boot files to create a virtual machine running glass, just like you would any other android device (google for tuts on this).

Of course, touch/sensors/etc are a bit tricky to emulate/run, but they do work like they do on any android device. I ported my sensor code directly, and touches worked immediately using the glass.gesturerecogniser code posted on dev.google.

Answer 2

There is still no Google Glass emulator in the GDK, you have to test your Glassware directly on the device installing the apk (with Eclipse or adb).
