Never Lose Your Keys, Phone, or Remote Control Again | The Smart Goggles

smartgogglesJSH_228x342.jpgDon't you just hate it when you can't find your keys right before work? As in, you already woke up late so you had to brush your teeth frantically as you fixed your bedhead...and you already had to eat an unbalanced breakfast (if you even managed breakfast) as you changed into uncomfortable work clothes. So, couldn't those damn keys just give you a break and just appear in front of you, for once!? Usually the answer would be "no," but the Japanese scientists behind the revolutionary SMART GOGGLES plan to change all that.

Admittedly, there is one very stupid thing about the Smart Goggles -- how you're going to look wearing them. However, once you get over the fact that you look like a low-budget Terminator while donning these super specs, you're never going to lose anything again. Sounds awesome? The bulky glasses come with a computer brain, a camera, a display screen, and a fold-out table (*smirk*). Essentially, the goggles are programmed to remember anything you input into its database.

"Each time the camera focuses on an object - such as a set of keys, a mobile phone or a purse - the wearer says the name aloud. The name is then recorded and stored into the memory."
From then on, all you need to do after you have lost something is say the name of the object you lost and programmed into the super specs and then voila!...it will tell you exactly where it last saw them.
