If you’re interested in learning more about Glass development, check out Google’s Glass Developer page.

Google also has a Glass Github page with several really cool sample projects that I recommend you check out.

There is an open-sourced control that you can implement, called HeadScrollView. This view scrolls when the user raises and lowers his/her head. If you’re up for a challenge, try it out and let me know how it turns out in the comments.
