Google Glass 2.0 and the Future of Augmented Reality
(VR is for play, but AR is for work)
Digital technology is changing how physicians work with patients, with augmented reality (AR) in place at some healthcare organizations such as the Sutter Health Network.
Augmented Reality has already gotten into our life in the forms of simulated experiment and education app, but Google is taking it several steps higher with Google Glass. Theoretically, with Google Glass, you are able to view social media feeds, text, Google Maps, as well as navigate with GPS and take photos. You will also get the latest updates while you are on the ground.
It’s truly what we called vision, and it’s absolutely possible given the fact that the Google’s co-founder, Sergey Brin has demo’ed the glass with skydivers and creatives. Currently the device is only available to some developers with the price tag of $1500, but expect other tech companies trying it out and building an affordable consumer version.
Google Glass Apps
At South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive 2013, Google demoed third party Google Glass apps, including a New York Times app for delivering the latest news, an Evernote and Skitch app for snapping, sending, and sharing photos, and a social networking Path app for interacting with friends.
