1: In Education
Perhaps one of the most clear examples that demonstrate how well the use of smart glasses can be applied is in the classroom. Teachers, for example, can immediately be informed if a student isn’t paying attention with internal software that would monitor each various students’ eye movements. At this point, such an application would not be easy to implement due to the limitations found in current smart glass hardware, but this could come at a later time when the technology advances even further. Let’s look at some concrete examples of how products like Google Glass can be applied in the classroom now: This is the moment for education to shine through the use of this and many other technologies. It’s time to bring the classroom into the 21st century!
2: Law Enforcement
You might have guessed this one already. Police can easily use Google Glass or other similar products to both protect themselves and citizens. Since cops know that they’re recording what they’re doing, they’ll be less likely to use excessive force. Since citizens know they’re being recorded, they’ll also behave accordingly. But the device also has other uses, some which are possible now and others that will possibly appear in the future:
3: Healthcare
Perhaps one of the most exciting uses for smart glasses is saving people’s lives on the operating table, like these surgeons who use smart glasses to have a look at cancerous cells or this surgeon who used Google Glass to broadcast a foot surgery. Other uses? There are many:
The Fun Is Not Over Yet!
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Smart glass technology will help people in so many ways, we have yet to fathom the utility of such a product. If you have some other uses in mind, leave a comment below and we might consider including it in a later piece!
