Gaze Detector Lets You Hear With Your Eyes
tinkertim writes "Engadget is reporting that Manabe Hiroyuki has developed a personal 'being' assistant, the wearable headphone gaze detector. The device apparently takes notice of what you look at (and hear) and makes note of the more important events in your life that it records. From the article '[the device] is slightly less elegant than the traditional neural implant, with this system you could not only record the goings on of your days and "bookmark" important events, but also train the cameras to feed you information about your surroundings based on QR codes or possibly eventually object recognition; think of it as augmented aural reality triggered by giving a passing glance.'"
Why do I get the feeling that the main events this will record are hot girls passing by?
wow this sounds kinda scary in some ways.. what if you look at the goatse guy or tubgirl?!? I don't want to hear THAT!!
Does it have a speaker that yells, "shwing!" every time you see an awesome pair of breasts?

Gaze detector activated: recording: boobs boobs boobs boobs eyes floor
I'll always remember this day as the first time I realised that there was such a thing as a traditional neural implant. ... And wondered if had been asleep for a decade or two.

Yeah, but now they get to work out your type and give you a heads up display to modify billboards appropriately. Just be careful to keep guys out of your field of vision...
Oh, and if you look at too many 17-year-old girls they tell the police.
If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we shoot people for Apollo-related non-sequiturs?
If you look closely, you'll see that there are cameras on the side.
So every time you clumsily turn your head and see someone look at you as if to say, "Those headphones make you look like a total douchebag", it will record it for you and presumably play back, "You look like a total douchebag".
Ain't technology wonderful?
I've just invented a levitating car (patents pending). Sure, it's less elegant than the traditional flying car, but I've never been a slave to tradition anyway.

You misspelled "think".
