Thanks to Google Glass' new coding, you need to just wink and the Glass shall be at your command, from taking pictures to turning it on.. The Glass reportedly has built-in sensors that detect eye activities, which will then be integrated into the device.
The code gave away several hints to to a Reddit user about components like the two-finger touch-to-zoom, a "head wake" function that is likely to turn the Glass on or off, "wink" that could be used to take a photo and a "guest mode," that will probably allow users to share the glasses without sharing the pictures taken previously by the original user.
However, one would have to calibrate the winks to command the 5 mega-pixel camera to capture what you look at. A patent was already granted to Google for unlocking a screen using eye-tracking information which adds weight to the suggestions from the coding.
Project Glass hit the net last April and since then, many developments about the surreal device, including those from the chosen few who hold the Glasses, has been made public. The Glass is expected to be available to the public in 2014.
