Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.5.2 Glass Enterprises

Course subject(s) Module 2. Open up your mind

Glass Enterprises, formerly Google Glass, make a set of glasses which integrates the user into the digital world. It features a camera, small screen, internet connection, sound system and a very nifty bit of AI. Glass was originally discontinued as a consumer product in 2015, after it was negatively received in the media. Now it is making a comeback in business-to-business, as a device to improve the performance and experience of people at work, most notably doctors. By providing important information, taking notes automatically and displaying necessary information (such as an x-ray or footage of previous surgery during an operation), less mistakes are made and doctors have more time for what is really important: their patients.

In this video, surgeon Rafael Grossman explains about the positive effect that this technology could have on the medical field.
