Not sure how this made it past Brando but Matsunaga wants you to clip on it’s Wink Glasses to keep you alert. A small sensor and screen clip onto your glasses and attempt to keep keep you on your toes. This is accomplished by nuisance factor as the sensor detects slowed blinking, which is a sign of both of “spacing out” and drooping lids preparing for sleep. The lens starts to fog in just the one eye which is enough of a disturbance to your brain to bring you out of a stupor. While this may not seem like much of a distraction to keep one awake but anyone who’s lost a contact will tell you just how disturbing that is.
The Wink device can run wirelessly off of 2 pill sized watch batteries for 8 hours or can run off of USB power by wire. Wink can be attached to prescription frames as well as the included non-prescription frames. This is targeted towards tech workers trying to pull long shifts or for reading/studying. They are shockingly proud of their foggy-screen-thingy though. The Wink device will cost about $167 and the stylish frames are $265.Permanent Link
