Camera in Glasses?


Lots of us know that when you see a director using his two hands making “L’s”, he is trying to get see what would be in the shot. He is attempting to find the best possible angle to shoot his latest film. Right now, it’s simply a guiding tool, but what if it weren’t? What if it was something much more?
Currently, this idea is being put into play, and as technology moves forward, it becomes more and more possible for it to be a reality.
Scientist are attempting to make a way to be able to actually take photographs, and eventually videos, using some of the most basic technologies in the world, your own two hands and a pair of sunglasses. The glasses are the picture taking device, and store the images onto them. The hands are what take the actual pictures.
The glasses will be able to see when the two hands are making L’s, and a message will come up, saying “Shut left eye to take picture.” So basically, as long as you can see your hands, you can take a picture of whatever you see.
Can you imagine what we could do with technology like this? It would take the digital camera front by force, and completely revolutionize pictures. Everyone would want to be able to take pictures with a pair of sunglasses and their hands
I personally cannot wait for this development to come out, because I always worry that I might lose my camera, or it may break. But I usually have my hands with me, and I like to wear sunglasses as well. Therefore, I would always be able to bring this with me, and take pictures of all kinds of neat things

That’s awesome. I can’t wait to see these come out. I hate having to take a camera around or sometimes I even forget it. Now, they are just my shades. I think though these have the potential to get annoying, especially since you might not want to take a picture but it does anyway. But in reality these seem like a great idea and who knows maybe I’ll get to wear my camera soon enough!!!

This is splendid! I would have to agree with Firebird85 because I am sure that most of us (at least guys) hate to carry around a camera. This summer, when I went back to India, all of my friends wanted me to take a lot of pictures of my hometown, friends, etc. Well, most of the times I forgot the camera and other times I was to embarrassed to take pictures (don’t ask). In addition, I always tend to miss out on all the “Kodak Moments” and go “Man, I wish I’d have brought my camera with me.” This invention would totally help me with the embarrassment and would always be there for all the “Kodak Moments.”

I agree with the other two about never having a camera when it is the right moment. Caring cameras around can also be such a hassle and losing it is also a problem. At least with glasses they would be on your face and never out of your site. It is kind of weird to think of someone being able to take a picture of you with sunglasses but I mean James Bond can do it. This camera could become a problem though with people stalking other people. I mean there are a lot of creepers out there but besides that I think it would be a really neat idea.
