<p>I'm currently investigating workarounds for this heat problem as well. Glass overheats quickly when capturing previews and doing heavy calculations or image processing on it.</p>

<p>This paper is very informative:</p>

<p>Title: "Draining our Glass: An Energy and Heat
Characterization of Google Glass"</p>
Google Glass overheating
<p>I am running a simple application that receives
and displays the values of Bluetooth Low Energy
advertisement packets in real time.</p>

<p>The Glass heats up in about 5 minutes and touch
commands stop working.  The Glass is not super
hot, but warmer than feels comfortable.</p>

<p>Commenting out the Bluetooth stuff reduces the
heating considerably.</p>

<p>How can I make this application workable on the
Glass?</p>
