Eye Publishing: Google Glass Gets WordPress Plugin

Eye Publishing: Google Glass Gets WordPress Plugin

Google Glass

The articles you read in the future could be published through voice command or even a pair of eyes.
Google Glass users will now have access to a plugin app that works with the WordPress publishing platform, giving media organizations and bloggers a way to post and update stories, photos and videos directly through the high-tech eyewear.

The wpForGlass app — developed by public relations agency Weber Shandwick and not officially launched from WordPress itself — isn't at a stage where large publishers would be able to publish full-length articles via Google Glass just yet. For now, it's most optimized for reporters or individuals covering, for example, a live Apple event where they could quickly post new product pictures or a video to a live blog or webpage. According to the company, it takes less than a minute for the post to show up online.

There are currently more than 330 million WordPress blogs on the web, but publishers can customize the plug-in based on how they want it used.
The plugin utilizes the open source code from WordPress to integrate with the platform, similar to how other companies, such as Facebook or Twitter, harness the codebase. Although it's not a native app, it does offer a new way to integrate Glass into the WordPress publishing workflow. However, the plugin doesn't support voice dictation just yet.
"It doesn't support voice commands yet, but it's in the pipeline," Farman says. "That is something we hope to have up and running by the time Google Glass officially launches."
