Looks like they are using the strategy of Microsoft HoloLens here which I
think makes sense. There isn't enough wide-spread value add in these augmented
reality headsets for general consumer use yet, but businesses will help drive
innovation until that time comes.

A lot of fluff here, but not much substance. I see how having large manuals or
paper lists in your field of view could be very useful.

Does it work well for employees with classes?

I assume they've updated the chip inside to something less power-hungry. Does
it get reasonable battery life now?

Why do doctors need Glass to record notes in the background? Couldn't _any_
computer run that software?

I'm guessing this might have to do with voice recognition tech and the doctor
being able to see the notes visually. If it picks up something incorrectly,
maybe the doc just turns to the computer and corrects it?

Still sounds as though a laptop would be better. Perhaps it's now improved,
but the Glass screen wasn't nearly as clear to read from as a MacBook Pro
screen.

mature, they'll occasionally screw up and sometimes kill someone. And Uber's
