What Are You Looking At?

Posted by michael on from the mirror-into-the-soul dept.

Ensign Stinky writes "The NYTimes has a story, with some spooky-cool pictures, about software to extract exactly what image a person is seeing with their eyes, just from the reflection on their cornea. You can see even a wider image than the subject and tell what they're specifically focusing on. It's too bad the coolest tech is immediately subverted for evil. The possible applications listed include 'surveillance cameras that spot suspicious behavior.' Remind anyone of that scene in the movie 'Wild Wild West' where they extract the last thing the dead guy saw?"

      I keep the sexual harrasment forms in the bottom drawer of my desk. That way when a woman goes to get one I can check out her ass.
