For the last week or so the tech world has been abuzz with the news that Google Glass is more or less dead, but is that really the case? While even Google admitted that Glass wasn’t even close to what the company expected it to be, many people have come forward to highlight the numerous uses that the device could have, particularly in the medical field.
Ned Sahin is betting the future of his company on Google Glass. Sahin is a cognitive neuroscientist with a PhD from Harvard and a masters from MIT, and he recently launched an ambitious startup called Brain Power, building Glass software to help autistic children learn some of the skills they need to interact with those around them. With its “heads-up display,” Glass can provide instruction while kids are engaging with other people, and its accelerometer can track how well they’re responding. That, says Sahin, makes Glass an ideal means of tackling autism, which now affects about one in 68 children, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
