  How To Find Lost Keys With A Simple Look

By Daily Mail | Tuesday | 18/03/2008

Are you fed up of looking for your mobile phone, keys or even your iPod.Well that could soon be a thing of the past if Japanese scientists have their way.

The Daily Mail in the UK claims that the scientists have invented a pair of intelligent glasses that remembers where people last saw their keys, handbag, iPod or mobile phone. But there is one snag it will not tell you where your glasses are.

The spectacles - which come with a built in camera, display screen and computer brain - can even identify unfamiliar plants or faces.
Each time the camera focuses on a 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. Once the names have been programmed in, the glasses will try to find the right name for any object they come across. The names appear in small type on the viewfinder.
 
The Smart Goggles the Daily Mai lclaims are the brainchild of Prof Kuniyoshi at the University of Tokyo. He believes they could revolutionise the lives of people who suffer from regular "senior moments", as well as those suffering from serious memory problems caused by dementia.
