Electronic Spectacles

Johan — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 14:22:59 +0000

Glasses, or spectacles as I like to refer to them, have not changed much since they were invented many centuries ago. One of the few big changes to glasses came in the year 1784. This change was brought about by one of the founding fathers of the USA, Benjamin Franklin. Ben Franklin suffered from both myopia and presbyopia, which meant he had problems viewing distant objects as well as very near ones. He would normally be forced to switch between two different pairs of glasses in order to be able to see properly. Wanting to alleviate this nuisance, he invented bifocal glasses. These allowed him to be able to view things both near and far without the need to switch between two different pairs of glasses. The other change is much more recent. This happened when contact lenses were invented. Contact lenses provided convenience and an attractive look without the need for clunky frames. Aside from these two changes, all other ones have been minuscule in comparison. These involve things like tinted lenses, a variety of styles, colored contact lenses and safety glasses.

Glasses are finally receiving more attention than ever and this could provide amazing results for the general populous. The field of nanotechnology can find applications almost anywhere considering the scale on which they exist (1 meter = 1 billion nanometers). Some of these new applications are being applied to a variety of materials, one of which includes glasses. No longer will people be restricted by a physical set of glasses which is immutable. Nanocircuits work at the quantum level and can also modify the effects of certain materials that they are built on. PixelOptics, a US company, has invented a new type of eye-wear which could make the bifocal obsolete. They created a pair of glasses that uses a nanocircuit in order to change the focus of the glasses. The glasses contain an electro-active liquid crystal layer which has a variable index of refraction depending on the amount of electricity passing through it.

The glasses will have three different modes of operation. Automatic, manual, and off. The automatic setting will cause the glasses to focus differently depending on the users movements. It will try and accommodate the user by changing focus as the user looks at something else. Manual mode will allow the user to see things from a distance normally, but will also allow people that are near-sighted to look down and read something without a problem. The last mode, which turns the electro-active liquid crystal layer off, will make the glasses act like the glasses we wear today, which is useful for general activities like walking. But this is only the beginning of what is to come in the future.

The ability to add circuitry within glasses (or any glass, for that matter) will lead to more innovation and great new ideas. Some of these ideas have already been produced even though the technology has not been applied to consumer products. Most of these ideas came to fruition because of one thing; the HUD. HUD’s, or Heads-up Display’s, originated from aircraft. Flying an airplane is no simple task. There are always many things to be aware of at all times, aside from watching where you’re flying. For this reason, HUD’s were implemented within airplanes in order to allow pilots to know exactly what is going on. Some of the info that is displayed includes, but is not limited to, speed, direction, latitude and weapons status. These types of displays have been around for decades, but have mostly been used in airplanes, and within a few select automobiles. Now they are being applied to glasses and contact lenses.

Here is what our car windshield’s could look like (a bit over-exaggerated, but shows what is possible).

A more realistic approach:

There are honestly limitless possible applications for such devices. Just a few awesome ideas:

Object recognition: Recognizing buildings, roads, people, even hazards that could potentially be dangerous. It would highlight these areas and label them in an easily viewable manner.
Orientation: Position tracking, letting you know exactly where you are and where you are going, as well as how fast you are moving.
Sight Augmentation: It may be hard for us to see at night, but not for our technology. It can improve the image and modify it in many ways to make it clearly visible for the user, which would not only be helpful at night, but also in other situations like during a rain or snow storm.
Zoom!: Something too far in the distance to see? Why not zoom in on it and get a closer look.
Visible Light Spectrum: We would no longer be restricted to only viewing things within our visible light spectrum. It may be possible to view things using the infrared or ultraviolet spectrum.
Real Time Info: Don’t recognize something? The circuit could be built with a database of objects, peoples, places and tell you anything you’d like to know about them, including things like material composition, distance from user and any common labels associated with it.
Self Diagnosis: Tracking heart rate, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, and anything else that may be linked with someones health.

As this technology progresses, it will undoubtedly unfold in many different ways. I personally can’t wait for something like this to become mainstream and consumer ready.

Pencil Art

Hand-Drawn Pencil Art

In the present world of art, artists have access to not only fantastic sets tools and materials, but also to the great collection of art that has been created in the past. The vast amount of knowledge of art and the techniques used combined with the superior tools that are currently available should provide for the most unique and creative art. One artist, though, has rejected most methods and prefers to use just one tool. This artist, known as Paul Lung, reminds us that keeping things simple can still make art that is absolutely wonderful and astonishing. His tools: A 0.5mm pencil, and some A2 paper. He does not even use an eraser. With just two materials, Paul is able to masterfully create fantastic pieces of art. The amount of detail included in his pictures is astounding to say the least. Enough words, here are his pictures.
