 Oooh, so stylish — for a prototype |
Each time the camera focuses on a object – such as a set of keys, a mobile phone or a purse – the wearer says the name aloud. The name is then recorded and stored into the memory.
Once the names have been programmed in, the glasses will try to find the right name for any object they come across. The names appear in small type on the viewfinder.
The invention does have flaws. It cannot cope with family members who insist on hiding or moving objects.
I want the next gen version that can recognize what’s-his-name.
Now if I can only remember where I put my glasses….
Wearing a pair of these geeky glasses may help you remember where you put your car keys, but you’ll quickly forget what it’s like to have sex 😉
If the display/processor would fit in a contact lens, I’d buy one today.
I wonder what it would do if you’re in a strip club and say “boobs!” Nah, I never have trouble spotting those. 😯
Good find, Uncle Dave!
Initially, I thought they were talking about ‘Smart Googles’ – to go along with the Google Maps and all the other Google conveniences, creepily creeping into our lives.
Why not let Google find your keys or your mobile phone or your purse for you? Google probably already knows where you tend to keep them.

Isn’t that sad? my mind went there too, I had to read it twice.
What a catch-22…. you can’t find your glasses. But you need your glasses to see the little screen that tells you where it last saw them.
Looks like you might want to buy several pairs to replace the ones you break walking into stuff from the impaired vision.
This tech has been a fantasy for quite a while, and it will still take a lot of software to bring the promised feature set to realization.
On the privacy side, will the data be impoundable? Hackable by alphabet organizations? Eventually stored in a huge government database?
