Performance comparison between HMD guided surgical navigation and Google glass guided surgical navigation.

	Headset	Clinical mobility	Interference to surgery	Accuracy	Speed
HMD surgical navigation	Heavy (>250g), hard to wear	Poor, requires USB cable connection	Block regular vision, causes distraction and fatigue	Comparable to standard fluorescence imaging	Fast (~30fps), direct image projection
Google glass surgical navigation	Light (~36g), easy to wear	Good, wireless connection without cable	Minimal	Comparable to standard fluorescence imaging	Slow (6–10fps), require wireless data transport
