Google tests ‘Notification Glance’ for Glass

Google has added a new experimental feature for Google Glass that will make it easier for users to pull up notifications. Called Notification Glance, the feature lets users use a glance to pull up any notification that comes in. Users can opt to use this instead of nodding their heads or tapping on the touchpad. After the update comes in, users can activate the feature through the Notification Glance card in the Settings menu. You just have to remember that this feature is still in its testing phase though.
