Though Google Glass isn't yet widely available, you probably know that the device requires you to say, "OK Glass..." before giving the headset your orders. However, it seems Google didn't arrive at "OK Glass," as the trigger for voice commands immediately. In actual fact, the company had several ideas for what users should have to say before dishing out requests, and some of them are a bit silly.
Amanda Rosenberg, Google Glass Marketing Manager, is the person responsible for the 'OK Glass' hotword. She recently took to Google+ to share the hotwords that almost were. Below are the ideas that the Glass team had before deciding to go with Rosenberg's 'OK Glass.'
Listen up Glass
Hear me now
Let me use Glass to
Go Go Glass
Clap on
Device, please
3, 2, 1...
Glassicus
Glass alive
Pew pew pew
Out of the entire list, 'Pew pew pew' is probably the silliest. Can you imagine legions of Google Glass users wandering the streets of the world's cities and mumbling that? Let this serve as a reminder that Google has a lot of power. It could make you say anything, but it doesn't. Because Google is nice and you should respect that.
