Cyber Goggles: High-tech memory aid

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a smart video goggle system that records everything the wearer looks at, recognizes and assigns names to objects that appear in the video, and creates an easily searchable database of the recorded footage. Designed to function as a high-tech memory aid, these “Cyber Goggles” promise to make the act of losing your keys a thing of the past, according to head researcher professor Tatsuya Harada.

Make this tech interoperative with the Internet of Things, and you get the spimey world of the future in one step.

Thanks, Steve!
