An example of a possible future application of peripheral vision monitoring in the form of an augmented reality application for patient monitoring, as Philips (Koninklijke Philips NV, Amsterdam, Netherlands) has tested on a Google (Alphabet Inc) Glass headset. If the reader looks at the center of the operating field in this photo, they can no longer read the numerical monitoring information, for example, saturation: 88%, however, they can still see that the avatar is purple and thus desaturated.
