Record And Store Videos With The Blink of an Eye

[Kargai]

Sony recently filed a patent for contact lenses that record and store videos with the blink of an eye.

In crypto we speak about smart contract, Sony is about 'smart contact' lenses. They'll be build with a camera that can record, play, and even store videos right before your eyes.

They are not the first ones since Google and Samsung already filed that kind of patent (with a difference, Sony plan to add an internal storage mechanism) so it seem inevitable that those contact lense will be a reality one day. Meaning every person you will cross the path in the street will be potentialy filming you even if you don't want it. A real nightmare, i'll have to take some eyes out ...

I find it super cool that these companies really think about making these technologies which would've been written off as a "hoax" 10 years ago. Its crazy to say that theyre almost reality now

And about the point of being filmed. I dont think it would matter. Because youre being filmed everywhere already these days. I dont think it would be a disadvantage for these camera-like things.

Afterall "aeroplane" was a dream long time ago.

Anyways, this is nice! I wonder when this will be released.

Yeah, this is amazing!

That's called science, which makes impossible things. Really excited about it. Can't wait to see it happens.

Thank you for sharing this with us @Kargai !  I found it utterly interesting.

I think this is a wonderful news for those who have issues with short-term memory and dementia and they will most definitely find this handy. They can just replay a certain event or a whole day and boost up their memory.

 

On the other hand, knowing that we don't need to memorize anything anymore may lead to the let's say, deterioration of our brain cells or synapses. Thus, instead of helping us improve, it can draw us a step back. 

 

Maybe I am overreacting, but I am not so thrilled about all of the technological improvement. Still, I truly hope this invention will make lives much easier for many people.

I thought the invention is crazy but when I read your comment, yeah seem to be helpful one too. I just remembered the movie titled "50 First Dates" lol

Hahahah exactly!  It can be very helpful and it also has its drawbacks. I guess it all depends on how we decide to use it.

Yes indeed. inventions today are amazing and people's mind too

Sci fi movies are going to be real soon.. This is the one like in the Tom Cruise movie Mission Impossible.

[barbaris]

Damn. It's incredible. I used to see this only in films. And now this is reality. It's terrible to imagine what the world will look like in 100 years and what people will come up with during this time.

This is why is one of the greatest brand in the industry, Sony keeps on making more improvements and developments throughout the years. I think this will be a big hit in 2018. thanks for sharing this kargai.

Exactly. I'm totally amaze by the technological part of the invention but on the other hand I also believe that it need to be use for specifics usages like those you mentionned. But it will never be. It will not be financially interesting to limit the tech to only few people.

Same with smartphones, those who REALLY need them are a minority. Most of the users don't really need them at the first place, the need was just created by the marketing. And now users are dumber and dumber, relying for everything on their phone. Once I saw someone who seemed lost in the street because she couldn't have wi-fi for Google Maps, she walked around for minutes searching a network ... instead of asking directions  to another "real" person (it was a crowded place).
