Runtastic has officially announced that they’ll be fully supporting all of Google’s upcoming wearable tech, including Android Wear, Google Glass, and the upcoming Google Fit service. Since the wearable market focuses very heavily on fitness tracking, it’s good to see one of the top fitness tracking services commit to the platform so early.
For Android Wear, you’ll be able to download Runtastic apps to do the traditional step counting, heart rate monitoring, etc. There will also be full integration of Android Wear’s voice features. On the backend of things, Runtastic will be one of the first developers to use Google Fit’s APIs to store user data.
While Glass wasn’t a heavy focus at I/O this year, Runtastic is using this opportunity to announce that their Fitness App collection will be available for Glass. This collection allows users to select and track different types of exercise plans, and Glass can connect to Runtastic’s external heart rate monitor via Bluetooth.
If you’re into fitness tracking, you should be very excited for some of the things that Google (and other companies) have announced today. For the rest of the action, check out our I/O 2014 coverage.
