Core Tip	Smart glasses are a kind of wearable device that has a head-mounted monitor enabling augmented reality. The fluoroscopic video was displayed on the head-mounted monitor of the smart glasses, PicoLinker. A surgeon was asked to insert 3 mm guide wires into plastic femoral bones under fluoroscopic control while wearing the PicoLinker smart glasses or by viewing the conventional fluoroscope monitor. Total insertion time, radiation exposure time and tip apex distance were shorter while wearing the PicoLinker smart glasses than while viewing the conventional monitor. Smart glasses are an innovative device that enables surgeons to keep their eyes on the operation field during procedures carried out under fluoroscopic control.
