Specs focus on lost keys

Forgotten where you put your car keys? These specs will help you find them! The Smart Goggle records everything the wearer sees, and also recognises objects – so it can show you where you last saw them. The glasses were developed by boffins at Tokyo University, and while this prototype is too large for practical use, scientists are working on miniaturising the electronics.

Inventor Yasuo Kuniyoshi claims the Smart Goggle – which incorporates the world’s most advanced object-recognition software – will eventually be more intelligent than the person wearing it, and able to identify items even they can’t recognise.
