Exploring the Use of Google Glass in Wet Laboratories

We present results from an exploratory field study of using Google Glass for training future scientists in wet laboratory work. Our goal is to investigate the potential of Glass for mitigating challenges of laboratory work and for increasing the confidence and efficiency of novice researchers. Our findings indicate how Glass is used in laboratory settings and highlight potential uses for Glass including hands-free interaction with experimental protocols and process documentation. We also discuss technical and usability limitations of using Glass in laboratory settings
