August 2014, Dr. Brion Benningerwas the first to deliver a formal radiology lecture to first year medical students using Google Glass.

August 2014, Dr. Brion Benninger highlighted integrating Google Glass, ultrasound and a linear finger probe (Fukuda-Denshi & SonicEye respectively) creating triple feedback during physical examinations in Beijing, China at the International Federation of Anatomical Associations (IFAA)

August 2014 in Zakynthos, Greece, Dr. Brion Benninger delivered aninvited presentation about Google Glass, ultrasound and his triple feedback technique at the Vesalius Consortium (500th Birthday celebration). He revealed and compared Vesalius innovation to triple feedback with Google Glass and ultrasound linear and biplanar finger probes (Fukuda-Denshi & SonicEye respectively).

July 2014, Professor Brion Benninger MD was the first to successfully assess medical students anatomy knowledge using Google Glass during anatomy lab examination identifying cadaver structures without the traditional use of pins, flags and strings. Professor Benninger feels the traditional way biased the structures students were being asked to identify and was unhelpful in representing anatomy as it would be experienced during physical examinations and invasive techniques.

March 2014, Dr. Brion Benninger was the first to combine Glass with the SonicEye finger ultrasound biplanar array transducer using a Fukuda-Denshi ultrasound system to successfully identify foreign bodies (shrapnel) that would be lodged in upper and lower limbs during military combat and civilian firearm violence.

March 2014, Dr. Brion Benninger was the first to combine Glass with the SonicEye finger ultrasound linear and biplanar array transducers using a Fukuda-Denshi ultrasound system to prove that images can be successfully obtained from donor cadavers and live subjects.

February 2014, Dr. Brion Benninger was the first to combine Google Glass with the SonicEye finger ultrasound transducer using a Fukuda-Denshi ultrasound system to view ultrasound images during physical examinations of the limbs, neck, thorax and abdomen. Benninger teaches a physicians hand is a palpation stethoscope, the ultrasound finger probe is a visual stethoscope and integrating them with Glass would provide a physician triple feedback during physical examinations (palpation, surface, and internal visualization).
