Preview of Main Points: First, I will list and describe all the features of the Google Glass. Second, I will state all the ways surgeons and doctors use this invention within hospitals. Finally, I will discuss a few of the disadvantages of using Google Glass. Compared to other inventions of this time period, the Google Glass is considered mind-blowing because it contains various impressive features that take the meaning of glasses to another level. Touchpad The touchpad is located on the side of Google Glass. It allows the user to control the device by swiping through a timeline-like interface, which is displayed on the screen. If the user slides backward, he or she is able to see current events like the weather. If the user slides forward, he or she is able to see past events like phone calls or photos. Camera This invention is able to take photographs and record up to 720p HD of video. Display The Explorer version of Google Glass incorporates a Liquid Crystal on Silicon, field-sequential color, LED illuminated display. The display 's LED illumination is first polarized and then shines through the in-coupling polarizing beam splitter (PBS) to the LCoS panel. After that, the panel reflects the light and alters it to S-polarization through active pixel sites. The in-coupling PBS then reflects the S-polarized light areas at a 45 degree
Every time I go job shadowing there is a recurring question that people never fail to ask, “Why do you want to be an optometrist?” Nowadays, we live in an age where generally much of the population are attached to screens. When one watches videos online the typical resolution preference is 720p or higher, and when one comes across a video
Most expectations would be somewhat glamorous due to the fact that there was so much rave about a product such as Google Glass where technology is now jam-packed into something as simple as glasses. It seems to close the gap that was missing for most people, some may say even fulfill the need of consumers, of wanting a device that consumers could constantly plugged into technology. This leads to the next point where Tsukayama goes on to state, “I shouldn 't feel this way. I like new technology -- I 've been a tech reporter at The Washington Post for more than three years. And I admire the vision of technology that Google promises Glass can offer: a device that lets you keep track of e-mails, texts and other messages in a seamless way -- all through a screen that 's perched just over your right eye.” (Tsukayama 1) This statement ties into the previous commentary which was someone like a technology reporter would be so dissatisfied with a product like this that it is surprising. It was definitely a shock to find out that someone such as the author found this product so distasteful. However, this goes into the next topic which relates to the standard of accepted criteria.
Has (CMOS) sensor to provide clear video and clear still images with 1920 x 1080 resolution. [2]
The Google Glass is one of the most popular new examples of wearable technology [19]. The Google Glass is a pair of glasses, prescription or non-prescription, that has a camera, touchpad and a display that can do multiple technological tasks: search, navigation, Gmail, Calendar, Now cards, phone calls, text messages, photos, videos, and video calls [17]. Glass has yet to be released to the public, but has been available for developers since February 2013 [9]. Although the Google Glass is still a relatively new piece of technology [17], it certainly hasn’t been lacking debates on the legality and privacy concerns of the device.
Despite being a potentially lifesaving device, there have been some concerns from people inside and outside the medical field’s community. These concerns include privacy concerns, fear of users being distracted, HIPAA compliance, and network issues, but Google Glass has the ability to overcome each of these obstacles. With the correct applications, proper training, and the correct network, along with the current rules already enforced in the medical field, these hurdles can easily be conquered.
The health care industry has become increasingly reliant on technology. From medical translation tools to mobile apps, these devices are helping healthcare institutions save money and improve patient treatment.
In January 2016, Dr. Peter Weinstock who is an Intensive Care Unit physician and Director of the Pediatric Simulator Program at the Boston Children's Hospital / Harvard Medical School delivered a speech at the TED conference. The topic of his speech was “Lifelike simulations that make real-life surgery safer”, in which he presented how important in difficult surgeries can be the use of current computer special effects and 3D prints. In his speech, he in an amazing way underlines how important it is to use realistic simulations before precise surgeries, especially for children. Using examples, slides and other help he shows the audience the wonders of technology to help analyze the case in every respect, but also to minimize the risk of failure of the operation. From the first minutes, the audience is attracted by their appearance, attitude, and tone of voice, which attests to his professionalism and knowledge of the subject. Through appropriate modulation of voice, he manages to keep the audience's attention to the end.
Primary eye care in the U.S. is a huge industry because there is an overwhelming amount of people that demand Optometrists. The demand for Optometrists is at an ultimate high, according to the American Optometric Association, employment will grow at a rate of 33% and is ranked #12 on the list of America’s top 100 jobs. In 2012 there were 40,000 Optometrists and 202 million people in need of vision correction. There is currently one licensed eye professional per 3,500 people and studies show that on average Optometrists see 19.8 additional patients per week if they are completely booked without adding hours to their practice. This means that Optometrists are doing a lot more than they can actually handle. Over the next decade the amount of patients will continue to increase especially through the elderly and those at risk for Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes “is the leading cause of new cases of blindness” and 2000 to 2050 there will be a 165% increase of people diagnosed with diabetes, so Diabetes will be another main reason for the demand of Optometry (Review of Optometry). The ratio between patients and Optometrist care providers are almost quadruple the amount. Vision Web shares that “over the past decade, as the U.S. population expanded 0.9 percent annually, the vision correction population grew at the same rate” (10). This means that as the population continues to grow, so does the demand for Optometry. The demand for Optometry continues to grow and the only way we can manage the amount of people demanding eye care is increasing the availability of doctors throughout the country. We can start doing this by making sure more Optometry schools are available within the medical field. Gonzaga should have an Optometry Program because of its location, Washington needs an Optometry program, and the demand for it will continue to go on a rise. The lack of Optometrists needs to resolved by adding a new
2a. This computing innovation isn't just any other type of camera there is in the world. Sure there are many types of cameras that take the most high quality photos ever. But can any of those cameras be applied to your head so you can take it on the go? Well that's what the GoPro is here for. Now you can do a lot of things like hiking, surfing, or even sky diving. You can do all those things and record them to have a photographic memory. All you have to do is simply apply it to your head and do whatever you want while the GoPro records your actions. It is the most convenient invention.
Specific Purpose Statement: To enlighten my listeners about the history of 3D glasses as well as their mode of operation.
Attention getting device: Vision is one of our most used senses; in the world today many people struggle with this sense. Today I’m going to be talking about a way to help improve this sense for many people; I’m going to be talking about LASIK eye surgery.
Google Glass is a analysis development program by Google to develop an increased reality Optimal Head-Mounted Display (OHMD). The main purpose of Google Glass would be the displaying without hand free through the projected small screen glass itself and allowing search with the web via voice commands. Google glasses are object that must wearable computers that may use constant package that powers sensible phones and tablets. This Literature Search paper is giving some basic ideas concerning GOOGLE GLASSES. All features of Smartphone and having internet facilities and can make adjust to our eyes. As Google glass is new and up to date technology, this abstract can identify to understand little concerning the Google glasses. Google Glass is as
Google has made an effort on making a new device called Google Glass, which is innovative device that has people visioning ways to enhance the product by communicating with people but not all are convinced due to the invasive privacy by the documentation of using video recordings at anytime hands free and the safety and health of yourself and your surroundings. It’s also a tool to reduce crime with first person view.
Google Glass has been described as “a personal assistant whereby it allows users to direct connect to the Web via WiFi, or tethers to a 3G or 4G mobile devices via Bluetooth. Its weight is less than a pair of sunglasses ( approximately nine pounds ) and it basically operated by touch and voice.” (Tuffley,2013) Since Google Glass comes with the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, you could connect your Google Glass with your mobile devices such a smart phone, via Bluetooth. Google Glass also able to translate your speech to text, with it connected to your mobile devices, you can now chat instantly with your friends on Chat Room or Instant Messaging without looking down on your smart phones, instead, you just have to “talk” to them. Google Glass is said to be an almost “hands free device”, the propose of it is to create a more active lifestyle with our advanced technology, it is enough for us seeing people meeting up in a café, meanwhile all they do is just looking down on their smart phones instead of talking to each other, and they could call that a “gathering”, yet it is actually just a group of people sitting together looking at their smart phones separately. The Google Glass is currently still on it’s “Trial and Error” journey, where Google make the Google Glass available for developers, the price stated in the meantime was $1,500. A few lucky developers
The medical field has revolutionized the health and well being of society. Throughout the decades, the medical field has been through sweeping changes that leave society astonished. It seems like each year that passes by, there is a new technological advancement that modernizes the medical field. Not only do these advancements modernize medicine, but they in return aid doctors, nurses, and specialists by improving their effectiveness within the field. About ten years ago, the da Vinci Surgical System was introduced to hospitals and the medical field, in general because the FDA had finally approved the system within the United States (Dunkin). The da Vinci Surgical System, also known basically as robotic surgery, introduced the use of a
