Wink Glasses Allows Your Eyes to Take a Break

Extended periods of focusing your eyes in activities such as reading, watching TV and surfing the net can cause eyestrain and the possibility of vision impairment. This is because our eyes do not blink as often as needed and they are forced to work hard. But how are we supposed to incorporate blinking when we are much into what we are doing?

An innovative pair of glasses from Japan-based Masunaga Optical makes frequent eye blinking possible. These spectacles called the Wink Glasses have the ability to turn the lens opaque if the wearer hasn’t blinked in over five seconds. As soon as the lens becomes cloudy and the wearer blinks, the lens becomes clear again. Transparent liquid crystal sensors attached to the frame are responsible for this mechanism. Truly, this gadget helps our peepers to be in top shape.

HDTV 3D TV, but no glasses

Thenewestgadget.com latest newest hdtv lots of manufacturers have released screens that allow 3D viewing of content. And content isn’t lacking lately, so there’s only one (big) problem left – those pesky glasses that you have to wear even when you’re comfortably seated on your living-room couch. We understand that 3D is the future, but those things are quite annoying.
Hitachi begs to differ. They’ve just presented a prototype of a glasses-free solution at the CEATEC fair in Japan. It’s called the The Full Parallax 3D TV solution and it uses 16 projectors (each with an 800 x 600 resolution) to create a feeling of depth without glasses. It does permit viewing from an angle, but only allows for a 640 x 480 resolution.
Of course, they gave no idea about when this will be available commercially.
