Tilt Control Allows Disabled Users to Easily Use Google Glass
Michael Baxter — March 3, 2014 — Tech
Tilt Control is a new innovation that allows disabled users to easily use Google Glass without the use of their hands. While the app is aimed at the movement-impaired, the app could prove very useful for any average Google Glass user as well.
The app was created by Mike DiGiovanni and provides some pretty useful features. While Google Glass still hasn't become too mainstream yet, it is on the rise and it's only a matter of time until you see them everywhere. With the huge upside and inevitable ubiquity of the device, it helps to have a system that caters to those who can't use it directly.
Tilt Control will allow users to use their voice like other users of Google Glass but rather than using their hands after that, they can then simply wink and tilt their head.
