Although developing apps for Google Glass isn't currently a very lucrative endeavor — ads aren't allowed, and the device costs $1,500 — developers are creating new ways to use the wearable device every day.
Case in point: an app that lets Google Glass users take photos with the wink of an eye.
Called Winky, the app is a simple affair; it lets you wake Glass from standby and take a pic with a slow wink of an eye.
"Winking really changes things. You might not thing it's hard to say "Ok, Glass Take a Picture" or even just tap a button. But it's a context switch that takes you out of the moment, even if just for a second. Winking lets you lifelog with little to no effort. I've taken more pictures today than I have the past 5 days thanks to this. Sure, they are mostly silly, but my timeline has now truly become a timeline of where I've been," says developer Mike DiGiovanni on his Google+ page.
