Physics education with Google Glass gPhysics experiment app

Published: 13 September 2014 Publication History

Abstract

We present a fully functional application prototype gPhysics App based on the Google Glass platform which is designed to perform an educational physical experiment in the area of acoustics. The initial applications aims towards students whose task is to find the relationship between the frequency of the sound generated by hitting a water glass and the amount of water.
