Google Glass goes to work

companies on bringing the wearable into workplaces to improve
productivity.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Companies are experimenting with Google Glass in the workplace
- The wearables can help train employees and loop in far away experts for customer service
- Glass still has challenges to tackle before it is commonplace in the workplace
Training medical
professionals is just one of the many workplace uses Google Glass is
experimenting with. Last year, Google launched its Glass at Work
certification program, in which it collaborates with businesses
interested in using Glass to improve productivity and save money. Ten
companies have signed on so far.
Google's head-mounted
computer is almost two years old, but the product is still officially in
beta. Glass was originally marketed only as a consumer device, but it
has had difficulty finding a niche in the consumer market, where it
struggled with privacy, etiquette and safety issues.
But then some of Glass' early adopters put the wearable to work, using the device to make their jobs more efficient.
Some of the most exciting
potential for wearables is in the health industry, where workers need
to keep their hands sterile. The small screen mounted on Glass can be
used to display checklists or vital signs. Smart glasses can also let
specialists consult on cases far from their hospital. This type of
telemedicine has been around for years, but high costs and regulation
have made widespread adoption difficult.
"Having the units like
Glass or any sort of wearable first-person display that comes in at less
than $1,500 really opens things up," said Dr. Warren Wiechmann, who
heads up the Glass tests at the University of California at Irvine.
UC Irvine is partnering with app developer Pristine,
a Google Glass partner, to experiment with Glass in a number of case
studies. In addition to using it as training wheels for medical
students, the school is putting Glass on surgeons so they can broadcast
operations live to students. Patient actors will wear Glass while
medical students learn how to do a basic exam. Later, the students are
shown the video to see themselves though a patient's eyes, with the idea
of improving bedside manner, empathy and listening skills.
Google is being slow and
deliberate with the business partners it certifies. It vets each company
to see if its specific use case solves a problem in the real world, and
gives them access to technical experts.
For now, the company is
focusing on workers who need to use their hands for their jobs, everyone
from nurses and surgeons to mechanics, utility workers and chefs.
Google says 80% of the global workforce does physical work every day.
"These are people who
can't reach into their pocket to pull out a cell phone, they can't type
on a laptop," said Chris O'Neill, head of business for Google Glass.
"They have every need to access information, every need to use tech to
make their jobs that much more safe and productive."
When an expensive
printer breaks down, an expert is typically sent to make repairs in
person. In another Google Glass test case, HP is experimenting with
keeping the experts at home. Instead, a customer puts on a pair of Glass
and the repair person walks them through the necessary fixes remotely.
Wearables in the
workplace are still in the very early stages. Google and other similar
companies are primarily focused on test cases and proving that there is a
tangible benefit to the technology. Before smart glasses go mainstream,
there are also a number of issues that need to be addressed, including
getting old industries up to date with new technology, bringing fast
Internet coverage to industrial work locations, and improving device
battery life.
And of course, privacy
concerns won't disappear once a wearable is worn to work instead of to a
bar. Employees might have concerns about being monitored and tracked on
the job with wearables.
Google has the time and
resources to tackle these issues as they come up. Down the line,
wearables like Glass could be commonplace on oil rigs, in the exam room,
up telephone towers and even in fast food restaurants.
Taco Bell is considering
using Glass to train new employees on the proper cheese-to-bean ratios.
Yum Brands, the parent company of Taco Bell and KFC, has worked with
Google Glass app developer Interapt
on test cases to see if Glass can cut down on the time it takes to
train new employees. Glass uses location information and a specific
training app to walk them through the steps for preparing food in real
time.
"They're not just reading a book about making tacos, they're actually doing it." said Interapt CEO Ankur Gopal.
