We’re only a few months into 2008, and it’s already turning out to be quite the year for technological breakthroughs, from Orgasmatrons to Rinspeed sQubas. With these modern marvels and more, we are well on our way into…THE FUTURE. Great job, world - keep it up.
Next on the horizon are Cyber Goggles that capture video and utilize image recognition.
From Pink Tentacle:
“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.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. At this rate, we are gonna have flying robot cars in like, four months. Keep your fingers crossed, Earth!
