Sony Glasses Track Eye Movement for Lightweight Wearable Lifelogging

a great tool for the porn industry.

Well said Phildo, although the potential ramifications are mind-bottling. I foresee contact lenses, and virtual screens displayed on the inside of the contacts. Paired with the laser light keyboards... giggidy...

Advertising...how long do you look at xyz? ...upload data to the next fad in social networking.

They will probably want the cops to use these ( God help us all).

Then when something happens, they can spend months reviewing the video to see if the guy/gal made the right decision in 1.2 seconds.

On the bright side, could be useful for adventurers and explorers.

I've been waiting for this device for years. I'll still be waiting for years but I'm glad to know it's getting close to production (relatively).
Add memory and the ability to project even small quantities of augmented reality and BANG!!! The whole world turns into a social network where you don't ever have to worry about forgetting someone's name.
Imagine it! You meet a new person, your software automatically updates the time and location while you input a name and any other relevant information. Bingo! Major brain extension.
What was that girls name?
Where was that place at?
Virtual tours...
You could link these devices together in a social network and have a fully walking talking interactive version of facebook.
You could have information floating above your head for people to see (or not to see of coarse) like mood, relationship status, whether you are available to talk to.
Imagine how different it would be to make friends with real people if the people who wanted friends could just have a message above their head saying "here to make friends" with a list of interests to read below it.
Am I the only one who thinks that could be awesome?

A thought on that I would definitely make a highly accurate dominate eye exam to go with that. That way the device could cover the other eye which would auto follow the dominant eye then at least it wouldn't cause that flashing vision you get when something is partially blocking vision of your dominant eye.

A side thought though. Aren't partial vision blinders used to fix some eyesight conditions? so wouldn't putting this in the way of your eye maybe cause a vision problem?

At A_Rock the only problem with technology that makes a real complaint for me is that it seems to make people less capable of using their own mind. Case and point when I was a kid I memorized phone numbers after hearing them the first or second time. Now I couldn't remember a phone number to save my life. god forbid I lose my phone and email access.

Upside we are slowly gearing up for a life portrayed in a political comic. The comic showed a tubby guy sitting in a bubble vehicle of some kind. Then flashed to the next scene where the system that made everything happen for us broke. Then the next scene was where no one knew how to work on it anymore so everyone died to the technology they thought was so great.

Howa
Rebecca did a great job presenting this development to us.
Now, if we can just convince her that 'filming' has been replaced with a new technology called "recording"
