Surgeon Operates Surgery wearing Google Glasses

A surgeon at the Lifeline Hospital, Chennai, India, did a simple upper gastro-intestinal laparoscopy procedure on a 45-year old man and a simple Hernia on a 42-year old woman.
The surgery was live-streamed on Tuesday (7-01-14) the operations to medical students, who saw it on their screens two blocks away.
"It felt like I was glancing at my rearview mirror while driving. I was focusing on the surgeries and talking to my students at the same time. At one point, I stopped feeling it was an external device," said Dr J S Rajkumar, chief surgeon of the hospital.

 What is Google Glass??

Google Glass, as defined by Wikipedia, is a wearable computer that you can wear on your eyes just like any glasses with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project,[8]with a mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer.[1] Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format,[9] that can communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands.
