Using heads-up display technology like Google Glass may slow down the brain’s response time, a new study has warned.
That could pose issues for people driving, when a delay of a few seconds could mean the difference between life and death, researchers said.
Heads-up display technology offers lots of information to users in seconds, literally in front of their eyes.
Access to information is critical in today’s fast-paced world, but the research at the University of Central Florida in the US indicates that the multitasking needed to process that readily available information may slow down the brain’s response time.
