According to Dr. Keitaro Matsukawa a consultant for the manufacturer ''PicoLinker'' device, the smart glasses display system can be used as an alternative screen in front of surgeons' eyes allowing them to see both the surgical field and information displayed on monitors simultaneously without moving the eyes and head.
