Brainy Glass

The new Google Glass has been hacked and can now be controlled by brainwaves. By using the new smart glasses with an electroencephalography (EEG) headset, the software has made it possible to now take a picture without moving any muscles. A new London-based start up company This Place have said that this kind of tech could be used in high pressure hands free situations like surgery. London Glaziers are the best solution for all glass issues. The company has released the free Mind RDR Software hoping that developers will adapt it for other uses. Google has already made it clear that it will not support this application. They said that this particular application seems to work through a separate piece of kit which you connect to Glass. London Glazing only use qualified staff. The application needs to be paired with an EEG headset to be able to control Google Glass and they said they had not yet reviewed, or approved, this addition so it won’t be available in the Glass app store. Of course, they stated that they are always interested in hearing about new applications of Glass and have already seen some great research from a variety of medical fields from surgery to Parkinson’s disease. An EEG Headset can be used to measure when certain parts of the brain show a greater level of activity. This means, the MindRDR software monitors when the user engages in high levels of concentration. In Google Glass’s screen a small window appears in the corner of the user’s right eye with a white horizontal line. When the user concentrates, the white line moves up the screen. As it reaches the top, a picture is taken using the inbuilt camera. This could mean that an individual who currently has no control at all, and who can’t even control the movement of their eyes would be able to use the system. Talk about the final frontier!
