The product also represents the first time a company will simultaneously release a video game for both Google Glass and Apple’s iPhone and iPad.Just as gamers flocked to untethered smartphones and tablets in recent years, Mind Pirate is betting that wearable devices like Google Glass represent the next stage in adapting video games for mobile devices."
