چکیده
Wearable technology holds great promise in revolutionising healthcare delivery. The benefits can also be seen in medical education and delivering healthcare in remote places. We report the use of Google Glass technology as a teaching tool in broadcasting a procedure onto a mobile phone as a viewer, replacing expensive and often cumbersome existing equipment.

متن کاملCreating expository documents with web-based authoring and heads-up capture
Tutorials are one of the most fundamental means of conveying knowledge. Ideally, tutorials not only describe each step with text or via audio narration but show it as well using photos or animation.
