Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Tatsuya Harada and other similar-minded scientists at Tokyo University School of Information Science and Technology have discovered a way to augment your memory, resulting in a device known as Smart Goggles. Apparently, this device records everything you see, while the AI software will go to work trying to recognize various objects in your point of view. The Smart Goggles even has a voice synthesizer to let you know what you were looking for by showing you a video playback of when it last saw it. I don't know about you, but that just about looks like a webcam glued to the poor kid's forehead. Surely wearing one of these won't snag you any dates for Friday night.
