Google Glass at Standford operating room

Google has partnered with live-streaming firm CrowdOptic to transmit a surgeon-in-training's eye-view from the operating room to instructors in real time via the Internet-connected headset, Cnet reports.

The idea is that by transmitting their visual point-of-view during operations, medical residents will get better feedback and instruction from the surgeons who are teaching them.

"The reaction [from doctors] has been that this changes the game," said CrowdOptic co-founder and CEO Jon Fisher. CrowdOptic expects that the technology will offer a "paradigm shift" in surgical training, the company said Wednesday in a statement.

CrowdOptic is one of five partners in the Glass at Work program that Google announced in June to help create business uses for Google Glass. Other partners include APX Labs, GuidiGo, AugMedix, and Wearable Intelligence. APX recently hired the founder of the Glass at Work program away from Google X to run business development for the connected-headset software company.
