If there are any Googlers around here: I'm a medical researcher from Australia and we had really encouraging preliminary results with Glass in operating theatres. We'd love to continue the work but need to be able to buy/acquire about a dozen units. We've tried reaching out to Google via their Glass for Work page, but didn't get a reply. Our pilot study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26992465 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26992465

    I didn't find any when I looked. Just his position and the name of the university he was associated with. For someone asking a favor, I would imagine making contacting them easy is understood.

Check out the Microsoft hololens: Mixed reality in surgical environments https://doi.org/10.1145/3027063.3053273 https://doi.org/10.1145/3027063.3053273

  We like Hololens, but it's a harder sell to doctors. We had 75% of anaesthetists happy to use Glass, I don't think we'd get that with Hololens. One of the fun things we found was that less experienced doctors were more likely to be happy to use Glass. Why? We're pretty sure this was actual confounded by age - these less experienced doctors were generally younger!
