Can you imagine the havoc that'd create if someone got something in their eye while driving, or anything like that? lol

Even just walking along... I'd imagine quite a few people would get dizzy AF if they happened to trigger it.

That said, it'd be pretty epic to have something like these for watching sports and concerts and stuff..

This seems unnecessary. Just do what I do and always carry around a pair of binoculars with you (and ignore the funny looks people will give you).

I am assuming it's for close up and not far away because that would be impossible. Sorry to crush your guy's dreams

Yea there would have to be some sort of guideline for using it, Iā€™m guessing the blinks would have to be pretty hard to trigger it. Reading came to mind for me as well, especially for an older crowd.

In Japan they had to make a mandatory camera shutter sound accompany the blink because of so many people trying to get upskirt shots on the subway.

I can't believe no one has come up with digital glasses that auto focus and zoom in and stuff.

Need this to take the place of regular prescription glasses. Tired of spending so much on them all the time.

As a 25+ year contact wearer this sounds like a nightmare.

The number of times I have wished for these when some town decided to save money by making street signs smaller or only on one corner of an intersection.

Bad article.

"The lens created was able to change its focal length depending on the signals generated." That's all, the rest is AI generated bullshit and ads.

Found this bit from elsewhere:

"The lens is made from polymers that expand when electric current is applied. It is controlled using five electrodes surrounding the eye which act like muscles. When the polymer becomes more convex the lens effectively zooms in"

Let's go birdin' now
Everybody's learning how
Come on and safari with me
(Come on and safari with)

Early in the morning we'll be startin' out
Some honeys will be coming along
We're loading up our woody
With our bins inside
And headin' out singing our song

Come on birdin' baby wait and see
Yes I'm gonna take you birdin' with me
Come along birdin' baby wait and see 
Yes I'm gonna take you birdin' with me

etc.

I think it should be more than two in a row personally. But if you won't constantly be using it, like for reading, only having one eye's contact be zoomable would prevent an error completely fucking up your sight.

I'm one of those people who double-blinks when I'm stressed or confused. This would definitely make me more aware of the habit!
