Google today announced the new updates for its Google Glass, bringing more Now cards, voice commands for third-party services and video player controls. The update includes introduction of two new voice commands, “Post an update” and Take a note” while the video player now allows users to tap to play or pause or swipe to fast or rewind.

Here is the functionality included in the updated version:

  • Restaurants, hotels, events – Be reminded of dinner reservations, hotel bookings and concerts. You’ll see these reminders for places that sent you an email confirmation.
