Captioning on Google Glass is an application that was designed to help deaf and hearing-impaired people communicate properly with others. The Google Glass application connects to an application that is installed on a phone. Once the application on Google Glass is connected to a phone, a person can talk into the phone and whatever is said is captioned and displayed to the person wearing Google Glass. Not an application that the average person will use regularly, but one that is pretty cool and one that can definitely help hearing-impaired people.

Android device with companion app required. You will be directed to install the app while installing the Glassware.

Using the application, you can look up into the sky and it’ll teach you about all the different constellations and stars that you are looking it. Star Chart has audio descriptions for all the planets in our solar system and for many of the stars near us.
