I've had my Google Glass for about a week now, and this raises some questions for me.
How long did the surgery last? My experience so far is that you can get a maximum of about one hour battery life from Glass when using video.
Was the resolution and video quality sufficient for the remote surgeon to really see what was going on? Again, personal experience only, but everyone I've made a video call with over Glass has reported very choppy low-res streams.
I'd love a lot more details on the procedure, what went right and what could have worked better, and just how it was done.
"This thing happened" isn't a lot of useful information.
So the surgery lasted about two hours. We used a 7000 mAh battery pack, since without external battery Glass would make it about 25-30 minutes in the Hangout before going dark.
The resolution was good enough for the remote proctor to assist. We did notice that as the device got warm as the surgery progressed, quality seemed to decrease a little. Overall I think we were really pleased though with the reliability and quality; we didn't experience any drops, or much packet loss or jitter.
I would say the biggest hurdle was audio. Because the version of Glass we used relied on bone conduction and didn't have an available earpiece, it made it pretty difficult at times for the surgeon to hear his remote proctor, especially since there was a lot of sawing and suction going on.
Thanks for the details. I'm very surprised that you were able to do the surgery without an earpiece. I can't even understand what someone's saying to me when I'm in the grocery store, the bone conduction is so quiet.
If there's a more detailed report of the event up anytime, please share. It's fascinating stuff.
