Surgeons in Spain put Google Glass to the test

Spanish surgeons put "augmented reality" technology to the test last week in Madrid, where a chondrocyte transplant operation was carried out using Google Glass to allow experts in the U.S. to live-consult the procedure in real-time, streaming on the Internet. A 49-year-old man underwent the procedure for cartilage injuries at Madrid's 108-bed CEMTRO Clinic, and the procedure was monitored simultaneously at Stanford University and streamed to 150 doctors in the U.S., Europe and Australia, the Digital Journal reported. Pedro Guillen, who performed to surgery, told Reuters that he was comfortable wearing the glasses.
