Why Viewing Normal Sites Doesn’t Work
Desktop/non-responsive sites render just fine in the Glass browser, much like they do on Android or iOS devices. However, the text is incredibly difficult to read without zooming; the same goes for selecting links. There is a certain level of precision you need when selecting a link by looking at it. You have much more control when you’re using a mouse or track pad on a computer; that control isn’t there on Glass (or other devices in this class), so as developers we need to make sure our design makes up for it.
A non-responsive website. Small links, and tough to view the main content concisely.
