IdPedia: 21st Century Technology for Interactive Eyeglasses

With the onset of the James Bond era, came the never ending hunger for more and more smart gadgets that would help us in various ways and save us a lot of time in accomplishing various tasks. Over the years, there have been numerous inventions that have taken the world by storm and have established themselves as the day-to-day tools within all walks of life.

A German research and development organization Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, today unveiled the next generation of eyeglasses that interact with the users in several ways via a connected PDA. The eyeglasses have been specifically designed for engineers and doctors, who have to perform critical jobs with surgical precision. This new gadget tracks the user’s eye movements via an ‘eye tracker’ that is embedded in the display of the glasses.

According to Dr. Michael Scholles (Business unit manager, Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS);

We want to make the eyeglasses bidirectional and interactive so that new areas of application can be opened up.

The German scientists claim that these eyeglasses will enable a user to access and view multiple documents and multimedia, even if their hands are not free to operate other devices such as a computer

The CMOS chip that is the heart and soul of these eyeglasses is situated behind the hinge of the frame and measures a minute 19.3 by 17 millimeters. The image that is to be viewed by the user is displayed by this chip onto the retina, thereby projecting a distance of one meter between the viewer and the object, hence reducing stress on the eyes. To ensure the clarity and sharpness of the image amidst the changing background contrast, the eyeglasses are embedded with OLED or organic light-emitting diodes.

As of now these glasses are being produced solely for high-precision jobs, however, if the cost of this immensely useful gadget is affordable, then the user applications are endless. From checking your email to video chat, various other interactive services could be accessed through these interactive sunglasses, if at all they are ever launched for the masses.
