CUTTING-EDGE TECH

Computers are becoming more and more powerful, while at the same time getting smaller and smaller. So small, in fact, that people can now wear them on their head. Google Glass is a computer fixed to a pair of glasses. It communicates with the Internet and displays images on the wearer’s glasses, while allowing them to see through the images at the same time. The lens of the glasses has a display like a smartphone and responds to voice commands, which basically means that the wearer can ask their glasses for information. Pretty impressive! But, far from being just another trendy gadget, this technology has now entered the field of healthcare. In 2012, Google Glass and VIPAAR (Virtual Interactive Presence in Augmented Reality) were used by a team at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, USA, to perform one of the first virtual reality operations in the world. Thanks to this invention, this particular operation involved the participation of a doctor who was actually not present. Here’s how it worked: during the operation, the camera in Google Glass was constantly sending images to another doctor in Atlanta. The remote expert could then advise on the process, for example, by putting his hand over a special mat in his office to point to something, which could be seen by the operating surgeon.

The effects of this technology on surgery are remarkable. A remote expert is now able to guide a less experienced doctor, or help an experienced colleague in a complicated operation. As more specialised doctors will be involved in the decision-making process, this may mean many lives could be saved. The technology also enables doctors to see medical information on their glasses, such as a patient’s X-rays, a warning that a patient is allergic to an antibiotic, or live information, such as a patient’s blood pressure. It can also be used to broadcast an operation live, using remote video support, which allows doctors and medical students to watch top surgeons at work and learn new techniques. The great thing is that it all happens instantly, unlike with Skype or video communication, in which doctors exchange information, but not in an interactive way. Though it is still early days, the combination of Google Glass and VIPAAR is a significant advancement for the future of medicine and will soon be widely used. It will not only provide doctors with assistance, skills and education, but it will also reduce the possibility of human error.

1. There is a smartphone attached to Google Glass.

6. Google Glass is used with Skype.

7. The technology described in the text is already being used in many hospitals around the world.

8. Use of Google Glass and VIPAAR means fewer mistakes may be made by doctors.

1.Read the text below. For each of the empty space (1-12) choose the correct answer (A,B, C or D).

From the History of Moving Pictures

Many believe that the story first began in America in 1877, when two friends were (1) ________ over whether a horse ever had all four feet or hooves off the ground when it galloped. To settle the bet, a photographer was asked to photograph a horse galloping and the bet was settled because you could see that all the hooves were (2) __________ the ground in some of the photos. What was even more interesting was that if the photos were shown in quick succession the horse looked (3) __________ it was running – in other words ‘moving pictures’. The person who became interested in (4) __________ the moving pictures to its next step was the famous American inventor Thomas Edison. Actually, he didn’t do the work (5) __________ but rather asked a young Scotsman in his employ to design a system, which he did. Now this young fellow was clever because the first thing he did was study other systems primitive as they were – of moving pictures and then put all the existing technologies together to make the first entire motion picture system. He (6) __________ a camera, a projection device and the film. The system was first shown in New York in 1894 and was really very popular. Apparently people (7) __________ around the block to see the wonderful new invention. There were, however, a couple of problems with the system. The camera weighed over 200 kilograms and only one person at a time could see the film.

Well now, news of the new system in America (8) __________ fast and a number of rival European systems started to appear once people had heard about it. The single problem with all the systems was that they couldn’t really (9) __________ the film onto a screen – you know, so more than one person could see it. Then in 1895, three systems were developed, more or less at the same time and independently of each other. I guess the most famous of these was (10) __________ the Lumiere Brothers from France, and they called their system the cinematograph which of course is where the word cinema comes from.

Well now, once the problem of projection had been solved, the next (11) __________ for the inventors was to make the films longer and more interesting. A continuing problem at the time was that the films had a (12) __________ to break when they were being played – a problem which was caused by the tension between the two wheels, or ‘reels’ as they are called, which hold the film.
