We’ve been seeing a lot of Google Glass updates lately. Most of the updates seem to be focused on patching up all the bugs that the KitKat upgrade brought. Well, it seems Google Glass owners will be getting another update soon and it packs a little more than just bug fixes.

An XDA Recognized Contributor TheManii stumbled across a new update for Google Glass last night. TheManii some how managed to come across the unreleased XE 17.3 update. From what people are saying, there aren’t many changes, but there’s two new things in this update.

Calibration

The first “new” thing involves calibration. If you don’t remember, people who did a teardown of XE16 came across a calibration feature that wasn’t fully complete. People who rooted their device could access the feature and calibrate their device, but there was a lot of buggyness involving this calibration feature.

It appears that Google has finally finished this feature, because through the settings menu you can now calibrate the sensor near the eye. This calibration feature actually has a purpose as well.

Notification Glance

The convenient calibration feature wasn’t thrown in the mix for no reason. This unreleased update is packing something else as well, and that’s “Notification Glance”. With the notification glance feature, if your display is off when a notification is received, all you have to do is look at the display to turn on the screen and view the latest notification. Sadly, this feature is limited to just notifications, so looking at your display will not turn it on unless there is a notification.

According to the people who have taken the risk to install this unreleased update, the experimental notification glance feature works quite well.

This update is NOT being pushed out to Explorers yet, but I imagine it will be at some point soon. An OTA download is live on Google’s servers, so if you want to install it yourself then go ahead. For the rest of the people who don’t feel like tinkering with their device too much, it shouldn’t be too long before someone at Google pushes the big red update button.

So, are you excited to try out the notification glance feature? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below!
