More Wearable glass with APX Labs While Google Glass was the center of attraction in the wearable computing space during I/O, one company at Google's own developer conference showcased the beginnings of a different but potentially very important addition to the world of headware. Jay Kim, Director, Research and Development, APX Labs, demonstrated a live demo for Hopkins on a different build complex and robust augmented reality applications. He presented a visualized method of navigating a YouTube playlist with just tilt your head this way or that. With the AR app, you can select a video, play and pause a video and return to the playlist. Apx's BT-100 prototype has a 9-axis sensor, a microphone, and a 5MP camera. But the real purpose of this AR app, as Kim said, is for use in healthcare, emergency response, IT and a host of other fields. He said the YouTube screen mode was just a demo showing what developers could do with their platform. Jay Kim, APX Labs, at Google IO 2013 with Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
