Is it possible to play with Google Mirror API without having the device?

Question

I've been reading the documentation and playing at https://glass-java-starter-demo.appspot.com/ but it seems there is no way to further investigate since when following the instructions from https://developers.google.com/glass/playground at my https://code.google.com/apis/console/ the Google Mirror switch is not showing up. Is there any workaround?

According to issue #2 on the tracker (https://code.google.com/p/google-glass-api/issues/detail?id=2) access is currently restricted to members of the Explorer program with Glass.

At Google I/O glass session here - nothing about turning on Mirror API for non-explorers, and the glass desk can't help with it, either. – Drew Miller May 16 '13 at 18:00

With the release of XE12, the Mirror API is open to all developers. However, it's still very important to test your Glassware on Glass before distributing it.

My i/o 2013 ticket is purchased, the flight from Louisville, Kentucky is booked, and I just got back last night from Kansas City where my wife and I bought a house to relocate for Google Fiber. All I ask is that you let me build my BasicMath application [ https://plus.google.com/117151337541845371124/posts/jd8rohyQQSf ] before I/O 13 @Jenny!! :) – HoldTheLine Apr 25 '13 at 07:07

Yes you can use your Android phone as a Google Glass. Look at this guide Google Glass XE7 APKs

After installing those apks in your phone. Lounch Glass Home app. Then go to MyGlass application and configure your Glass.

Then register for Google Mirror API and follow this quick starter guide Quickstart

Hope this will help you.
