Google Glass was not the most popular wearable when it first hit the market, but with time, its utility has increased. With systems like CrowdOptic, which provide smart glasses with video streaming software, Google Glass could save lives. This is a far cry from what the Intel smart glasses hope to bring to the table.
Google Glass and Sony SED-E1 Could the Medical Field By Storm
Since July of last year, Google Glass found surprising support in the medical community. Its technology is able to give surgeons, nurses, EMTs and MDs eyes where they never had them before. When time is of the essence, Google Glass could literally save a life. Not only that, but combining it with CrowdOptic technology could revolutionize the way medicine is taught. In fact, it could change the way patients are treated entirely.
CrowdOptic gives Google Glass and other smart glasses like the Sony SED-E1. With cameras set up strategically, medical staff can access a stream through an app that will give them the absolute best view of the footage. This is regardless of where the person wearing the glasses is standing.
This doesn’t only have medical applications. It could bring changes to the way manned security is monitored. It can even be of help to the military in terms of surveillance and documentation of footage. In fact, the film industry can greatly benefit from this kind of technology. Having a hands-free interaction in all of these fields could change the game significantly.
What are Intel Smart Glasses Bringing to the Table?
The technology is inarguably young. Intel is planning to release their own set of smart glasses throughout 2016. They’re teaming up with Oakley to bring put sunglasses on the smart glasses market. The gadget will be able to display fitness statistics as users exercise. The other innovation that it brings to the table is the fact that these Oakley smart glasses are completely powered by voice.
The Google Glass needs the occasional swipe of the hand for certain actions. This new gadget takes out the need for that. Maybe it’s too soon to tell what applications these new smart glasses will actually have. The truth of the matter is that Google Glass may not have sold spectacularly, but it has some fantastic applications.
