This app is working 100% within the official, approved Glassware
constraints. For me, the question is how long until it is
approved/official to actual write APKs tuned for the Glass environment,
because then you can do much more real-time, interactive experiences.

Still, I am pretty impressed with this demo, as he is really pushing the
limits of what is possible in useful ways, and leveraging server
horsepower as well. If you are building an app like this, you want to
ensure battery life was maximized, and move all heavy lifting to the cloud.

Otherwise, from my short experience using it (Derek can speak to this
more), it is actually much more UI response than it seem in this video.
Perhaps it was the desktop mirroring that made it feel slow.
