News Memories in the Corner of My Eye

From Wired:

Trying to remember a full day's schedule is no mean feat -- especially when it's full of business meetings, grocery shopping, kids' soccer practice and music lessons, and sundry other errands.

Help may be on the way from a pair of specs dubbed the memory glasses. The specs have a tiny television screen embedded into one of the lenses and are hooked up to a PDA.

The PDA can be programmed to send messages or images to the screen. Each prompt is geared to jog the wearer's memory -- whether it is an image of a soccer ball, the day's calendar or the name of the guy who just said hello.

And all of these messages are flashed before the eye at 1/180 of a second, so the wearer isn't even conscious that they have been sent.

Interesting idea, but the hardware - whilst it has shrunk from previous attempts - is still to obvious.
