Is it possible to play with Google Mirror API without having the device?

Question

I've been reading the documentation and playing at https://glass-java-starter-demo.appspot.com/ but it seems there is no way to further investigate since when following the instructions from https://developers.google.com/glass/playground at my https://code.google.com/apis/console/ the Google Mirror switch is not showing up. Is there any workaround?

Answer 1

According to issue #2 on the tracker (https://code.google.com/p/google-glass-api/issues/detail?id=2) access is currently restricted to members of the Explorer program with Glass.

Answer 2

With the release of XE12, the Mirror API is open to all developers. However, it's still very important to test your Glassware on Glass before distributing it.
