• Resumen

  • Marks discusses the healthcare applications of Google Glass. The camera-packing wireless eyepiece is helping people to live with some of the problems of paralysis, blindness and deafness. And surgeons are eyeing Glass as a tool for improving surgery and medical education. Beyond the operating theatre, Glass could be useful to people with sensory impairments. A blind person preparing to cook and wondering what's in a food tin could easily find out by taking a picture of the label and sending it, with a question, to crowd workers on Amazon's Mechanical Turk using a system developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh PA and at the University of Maryland in Baltimore.
