Sony works on connected lenses capable of filming
Sony filed in 2014 a rather special patent application since it is a connected lens, allowing to film the scenes of everyday life, with a zoom system and many settings.
The FreePatentsonline site has just found the traces of a patent filed by Sony in February 2014 and published by the organization in charge of patents in the United States (the USPTO) only a few days ago.The patent describes a lens system incorporating a storage space and the possibility of controlling an image module present within the lens.The lens is connected, since in addition to a micro mobile socy, it has an antenna allowing to transmit data to a wireless manner.Convenient to recover the images or videos recorded by the lens during the day.Was you afraid of Google Glass?Sony lenses should scare you even more!
Development and zoom in the game
How to control the lens?With eye blinks.The device would be able to detect intentional airlines of natural blinks.Thus, it would be enough to blink to start or stop the recording of the images.The lens would also be able to zoom in and make different developments, thanks to the movements of the eyelid.Even stronger, the lens imaging unit would have digital stabilization to remove the blur induced by the movements of the eye.
Google and Samsung also have their projects
In the future, if you see a person blinking a little too quickly with your eyes and trying to make faces with their eyelids, beware.Obviously, the Sony project is not at an advanced stage - the thorny question of the thickness is obviously unanswered - since many technical factors currently prevent the realization of such a product, and in particular the question of theLentil power supply.
However, Sony is not alone on the connected lens niche since Google presented in 2014 a connected lens project for diabetics followed by another lentil project playing the role of remote control.More recently, we learned that Samsung has been working for two years in the realization of such a product and that Google may well use solar energy to supply lenses.
