Google Glass could offer Robo Cop style vision to emergency services

The new gadget could prove to be less gimmicky than some people have once thought.
What Google Glass can actually be used for is only now becoming a bit clearer - with personal uses like navigation and communication to first person filming during major events.
Another area that Google's eye candy could be a great benefit to is the emergency services.
Imagine a fireman walking into a burning building - instead of diving into the flames blindly, the building blueprints could be brought up in front of them, enabling them to see the layout of the building before putting their lives and the lives of others at risk.
Police could identify a criminal and view their record before apprehending the individual without being aware of the dangers - and paramedics could pull up medical records of patients to ensure they give the best treatment possible.
This all seems very Robo Cop-ish, or even Judge Dredd-like, but the fact is, that kind of technology within the emergency services was - even back then - and still is now an inevitability.
The possibilities of Google Glass are rapidly surpassing gimmicky, and really opening up our eyes to the potential of mobile technology within so many different aspects of life.
