2. Google Glass is a type of wearable technology with an optical head-
mounted display (OHMD).
 It was developed by Google with the mission of producing a mass-
market ubiquitous computer.
 Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free
format.

3. Project Glass is a research and development program by
Google for Optical Head Mounted display (OHMD).
The intended purpose of Google Glass would be the hands
free displaying of information currently available to most
smartphone users.

4.  wearable display that has the capability of reflecting projected images as
well as allowing the user to see through it.

5. Performance Parameter
 Ability to show stereoscopic image A binocular HMD has the potential to display a different
image to each eye. This can be used to show stereoscopic images.
 Binocular overlap measures the area that is common to both eyes. Binocular overlap is the
basis for the sense of depth and stereo, allowing humans to sense which objects are near and
which objects are far. The larger the binocular overlap offered by an HMD, the greater the sense
of stereo.
 Field of View(FOV) Humans have an FOV of around 180°, but most HMDs offer considerably
less than this. Typically, a greater field of view results in a greater sense of immersion and better
situational awareness.
 Inter-pupillary Distance (IPD) This is the distance between the two eyes, measured at the
pupils, and is important in designing Head-Mounted Displays.
 On-board processing and operating system Some HMD vendors offer on-board operating
systems such as Android, allowing applications to run locally on the HMD. These are sometimes
referred to as Smart Goggles.

14. Voice Activation
 Other than the touchpad, Google Glass can be controlled using "voice
actions".
 To activate Glass, wearers tilt their heads 30° upward (which can be
altered for preference) or tap the touchpad, and say "O.K., Glass."

19. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY
 Wearable computers, also known as body-borne
computers or wearables which are miniature
electronic devices that are worn by the bearer
under, with or on top of clothing.
 Developed for general purpose, for giving a hands
free environment.

20. SMART CLOTHING TECHNOLOGY
 IT IS A COMBINATION OF NEW FABRIC TECHNOLOGY AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY.
 THE CLOTHING IS MADE WITH NEW SIGNAL-TRANSFER FABRIC TECHNOLOGY INSTALLED
WITH DIGITAL DEVICES.

21. Augmented Reality
 Augmented Reality is a type of virtual reality
that aims to duplicate the world's
environment in a computer.
 Generates a composite view for the user
that is the combination of the real scene
viewed by the user and a virtual scene
generated by the computer.

22. Eye Tap Technology
◦ EyeTap is a device that is worn in front of the eye that acts as an eye
to record the scene available to the eye as well as display.
◦ Intakes the world around it and augments the image the user sees
allowing it to overlay with computer generated images.

23. Ambient Intelligence
 Ambient intelligence (AmI) refers to electronic environments that are sensitive
and responsive to the presence of people.
 Ambient intelligence is a vision on the future of consumer electronics for the
time frame 2010–2020.

24. 4G Technology
4G, short for fourth generation, is the fourth
generation of mobile telecommunications
technology, succeeding 3G and preceding 5G.

25. ANDROID
 Android is a Linux based operating system developed by Google.
 an open-source operating system used for smartphones and tablet computers.

26. Google Glass proved to be the most
useful gadget in Health care and
Medical field.

27. Improved Rounds
Beth Israel Medical Center developed a custom
information retrieval system that lets doctor scan
a QR code on the wall of each room to call up
patient information

28. Improved Visibility
In the tight space of surgical procedure,
sharing prospective from multiple viewing
angles will improve real-time visibility and
ofer recorded playback for future use.

29. Procedure Analysis
Allows clinicians to review emergency
triage and operating procedures for
training and self-assessment.

30. Training
Trains amateur through a
procedure via direct point of
view.

31. Case Study
 In December 2013, Medopad, a London, UK based mobile health solution provider, announced the
first wearable health record and had an official showcase of the technology at the CeBIT conference in
March 2014.With the Medopad application for Glass, doctors can access patient records, check live
patient vitals, collaborate by sharing what they are viewing in with up to 5 other doctors and record
video or take pictures.
 In August 2014, Google Glass was also used at Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University.
Surgeon Dr. Christopher Kaeding used Google Glass to consult with a colleague in a distant part of
Columbus, Ohio. A group of students at The Ohio State University College of Medicine also observed
the operation on their laptop computers.

32. Autism Related Application
Autism Speaks announced that
neuroscientist Ned Sahin would begin
beta testing Google Glass software for
children with autism in 2015.
He is developing the empowered Brain
application suite, software that is
reported to feature personalized
language coaching, emotional training,
and positive behavior assistance.

33. Advantages of Google Glass
 Glass is sleek, light and easily wearable and you would not require
keeping it on and off your pockets, like mobile phones.
 No Bluetooth or camera needed when Glass is on, it’ll do
all for you.
 Glass will provide you detailed information and satisfactory results
on your queries.
 Make phone calls, sms, emails though Google Glass, no smartphone
required.
 Keep your calendar events , information , contacts updated on
the Glass.
 Easier navigation and maps will be provided through Glass.

34. Disadvantages of Google Glass
 Chances are there to drop yourself down in the road while reading a text
or email since you can’t get your eyes off it.
 Glass might give you a ‘nerdy’ look that might create clumsiness among
people.
 No public privacy concern so the worry of leaking out information still
remains.
 Can be easily broken or damaged. Users will have a tough time taking
care of it.

35. Journalism
 Jose Vega began a web project called "VOA & Google Glass" which
explores the technology's potential uses in journalism. This series
of news stories examines the technology's live reporting
applications, including conducting interviews and covering stories
from the reporter's point of view.
 The University of Southern California will conduct a course called
"Glass Journalism," which will explore the device's application in
journalism.

36. Criticism
The glass is criticised for a variety of reasons:
• Concerns have been raised by various sources
regarding the intrusion of privacy, and the
etiquette and ethics of using the device in
public and recording people without their
permission.
• We’re not fully aware that what effect it would
have on our eyes and brain. So that’s what
people are concerned about.
