gyroScript and a Wearables Simulator IDE

gyroScript is a high level Javascript-like framework (based on Jurassic) that enables the rapid development of a whole range of apps on the gyroFIRE natural UI platform.

To expedite development, there is also a browser-based (WebGL coming soon) and cross-platform native IDE (based on MonoDevelop and Unity) that allows for 3D simulation of the wearables user experience.

Sensor inputs can also be connected to the real device, so that the simulator becomes a remote interface used for testing wearable devices, effectively enabling a wearable device testing platform.

  • Early gyroScript API docs (from Launch Hackathon)
  • gyroScript IDE (Early Public Preview - from Launch Hackathon)

    • Sample Apps - Examples created via a few lines of gyroScript

    Here are some examples of gyroFIRE platform apps showing some extensions of its versatility. Most example apps below also includes a browser try-out, that also works on any traditional device.

    About gyroFIRE Platform and StatusBeta

    gyroFIRE is a natural user interface platform for Google Glass and HUD-based wearables. A high level framework fosters rapid application development, utilizing native device features, such as onboard device sensors. The system also include a joint-emulation virtual simulator for device testing and interaction. A variety of sample games and apps have been created using this platform, and each can also be demo’d on a non-Glass device using the joint-emulation virtual simulator.

    StatusBeta is a wearable devices testing platform, extended from the gyroFIRE framework. Unlike traditional device testing platforms, it features a 3D device virtual emulator, that can be connected to send and receive both the wireless and physical state of the real device, on a customized joint emulation rack.
