Google Considers Adding Cameras To Contact Lenses

More relevant to the gaming side of things, these lenses would allow for accurate eye tracking. Imagine combining that with the Oculus Rift. You could have a simulator with a HUD that stays centered where you're looking, and maybe even have sight-based target acquisition.
I can never understand this mentality.Stormwaltz said:
So, you don't go outside because you don't want people to see you? I mean, every time someone looks at you they're recording your face in their memory and cross-referencing it with other times they may have seen you.
Sure, 99% of the time they immediately forget you, but the same thing will be true of any incidental video recordings of you that someone might get while using their contact lens camera.
you know what also creat privacy concerns? human eyes. lets gouge them out. seriuosly, if i can see it with my eyes and remember it, i can film it. end of discussion. filming it is a way to fix fallible human memory at a cost of lower resolution.

so the point where humans have eyes is when you stop leaving your house? i guess you never left it.Stormwaltz said:
The difference is you can't upload your memories to the internet for the whole world to see. Ya, sure, there's always word of mouth, but that has a more limited range and isn't considered very reliable.Sidmen said:
Frankly my main question when it comes to these things is why? Outside of augmented reality games, which are kinda lame and gimmicky if you ask me, I can't really see the value of having a screen overlaying your vision. Your eyes are really only capable of focusing on one thing at a time, so even when using google glass/lenses you're still not paying attention to what's in front of you, you might as well just be looking at an actual screen. It just seems to me like a solution looking for a problem.
Sounds like Torchwood's I-5s are going to be a reality soon. I'm not too sure if that's a good thing or not.
Maybe we should head off the potential problems of all this surveillance tech by making it illegal to obtain information about an individual without their explicit consent and allowing the individual concerned to wipe any and all information about themselves whenever they want, regardless of who possesses it.

Very cool tech, i want my eyes to be able to ZOOM 
The joke in red dwarf would not make much scene anymore however where chriton cannot find the human zoom function when he is turned into one and lister tells him we dont have one we just move our head closer to the object

On the one hand, you can record anything you can see, which would be a godsend to the dregs of humanity who take creepshots.
On the other, it would certainly help people prosecute crimes that are otherwise so often he said/she said, like harassment and sexual assault. Judges and juries would get a recording of exactly what happened.
I'm for it, honestly.

Uhhhhhh while this is cool in concept for games...
The last thing I want is more cameras in my house and on the streets constantly watching everything I do, so no way too creepy for my liking, I have enough cameras around me already thank you very much
