The Methedrine have two little screens in them . The weird thing is that they face outward . you’re able to think the scene as Polaroid ’s suit brigade and comptroller fill the pitch from Gaga , falter and inquire what they got themselves into and if they ’d volitionally let her take the company down with her . It makes no sense on first thought . OR DOES IT .
The history of science fictional and concept eyewear is littered with ideas stacked on top of a simple fundament : that eyes are for seeing . A Terminator ’s vision have it see wartime meta data on enemy , terrain and weapons ; augment realness apps like google goggles and Amazon ’s merchandise hunting that make for through a tv camera are already living in smartphones now . In its most ecumenical and obvious sense , eyes are for seeing , and the future of center is about see well .
That is irrefutable . But there are two other matter technologists and futurists often overlook when conceive about the future of human vision : That people look into each other ’s eyes when they talk to each other . And that center say a lot , potently and subtly , on their own . Winking , rolling , smizing , crying , squinched , for starter . Gaga ’s glass take unmediated advantage of the manner we operate gazes when we discourse in person , but they kind of throw a nuke down on the subtly of middle based consistence spoken communication . It ’s more like they replace it , sunglasses betraying nothing , while user - selected , pixel precise electronic messaging come through the screens . guess of it as flickr or a facebook picture album for your nerve . Loaded with hamburgers if someone ’s hungry , hearts if they ’re in making love , videos of thunderclouds roll lento in if someone is pissed off . The screen could output colors to match clothing or moods . Anything is possible .
Maybe it wo n’t hitch on . perhaps child will go nuts with it . I do n’t know ! But I do bed that this gizmo dovetails dead with what the future is starting to smell out like : Less the crisp clear populace of touch interfaces with meta data on everything , everywhere . And more like the micro broadcasted one we bring to every time we tweet , post or portion .
