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.'"

    Huh... you don't want any recordings of your own girlfriend (recordings of her are a bad thing)? Or you don't want anyone else to look at her, ever?

    Remember she's her own person, and if she's wearing clothes that show any skin she's wearing look-at-me clothes. Granted it's look don't touch, but getting your back hairs up simply at the thought of anyone finding your girlfriend hot enough to glance at is both worrying and hilarious.
