Google Glass Explorers have a new way to live stream events through Glass.
Livestream.com launched its first app for Google Glass, which app allows users to broadcast events to others through Glass in real time.
The app is much simpler than its existing iOS and Android ones. While Livestream's mobile apps let users upload text and photo updates to events and add filters to videos, Livestream's app lets users share what they're looking at in real time. The app also displays viewers' comments to the wearer.
To begin broadcasting, users simply pair Glass with an event and say, "OK Glass, Livestream," and tap the side of the device to begin recording. Viewers can tune into live broadcasts via the web or the company's smartphone and Roku apps.
Google already has its own live streaming platform for Glass with its Hangouts app, but Livestream's app is the first third-party live streaming app to come to Glass.
Livestream first launched its broadcasting platform in 2007 under the name Mogulus. The company rebranded as Livestream in 2009 and released its first iOS and Android apps in 2012.
