      Sorry, I don’t understand your question. If you mean something like Google glass, then there are already a number of augmented reality and virtual reality headsets and there are some demos about using those in the medical field

      Sorry, I’m not sure I understand your question either – if you could explain in the comments under this that would be brilliant, thanks!

      Ahh.. your question is a bit vague. But I too assume (As Sylvain did) that you are referring to google glasses (or what they call intelligent glasses). I want to add to Sylvain’s comments that this technology is being considered for real-time surgeries and physiotherapies

      Are you asking could you make a machine like a computer that you wear on your head like glasses? If you are then yes, but they would be big, ugly glasses and heavy too probably. To make a pair of glasses that look and feel good you need a big company like google to do lots of research, and spend lots of money. Or if you don’t mind it being a really simple computer then you could make something like the snapchat glasses, but all they do is take photos and upload them to the web.
