It might not be ready for consumers but Google’s controversial smart headset is about to officially arrive in the workplace. The first five companies chosen for the scheme — which will be allowed to create specific apps for Google Glass — are focused on healthcare, culture, sports and entertainment and enterprise. And it means that although they’re still a rare sight at the local branch of Starbucks or on public transport, Google Glass could soon become a fixture at museums, stadiums, clinics and hospitals.  For example, one of the five initial partners, Augmedix is developing services via Glass for doctors that will help them spend more time focused on their patients and less time staring at a computer or chasing up records and other information.
