\"Bulletproof-Google-Glass-app\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In what is definitely a huge oversight on Google’s part, the Glass software has no built-in lockscreen function. Obviously it can be assumed that there will be many changes before the rumored Spring 2014 release date<\/a>\u00a0since it’s a Beta product, but the problem remains for now.<\/p>\n

Developer Mike DiGiovanni didn’t want to risk having his contacts and personal information easily swiped so he set about doing Google’s job for them, and Bulletproof was born. In a post on Google+\u00a0DiGiovanni explains its function saying, “Use combinations of swipes and taps on the side touchpad to unlock your device.\u00a0The app knows when Google Glass is off your head and locks the device only at that point.”<\/em> Pretty handy, and very useful. Click past the break to see it in action.<\/p>\n

As Google Glass has no way of installing apps natively, you’ll have to push the app to the device over adb. DiGiovanni’s source is open source under the Apache 2.0 license and can be downloaded from\u00a0Github<\/a>.<\/p>\n
