Imagine if you have a pair of smart glasses – what are you going to do with it? I am quite sure that this is still a very fertile ground for new innovations to break through, and here is one prime example. We all live in an extremely stressful environment these days, with plenty of work that piles up at the office and not having any kind of outlet to release it. Researchers over at Georgia Tech and MIT have worked together by working on the BioGlass, where it will feature an Android-powered app which relies on Google Glass in order to figure out just how much stress you’re having.
In this particular app, it is capable of measuring your heart and breathing rates by checking for tiny movements which is picked up by Glass’ accelerometer, accompanied by its gyroscope and front-facing camera. Theoretically speaking, one would only need to wear this smart eyepiece in order to figure out the time when one needs to calm down due to the amount of stress that has been built up.
It would be cooler if you could see such changes in others through a simple viewing alone, and we do hope for such developments in the right direction. [Press Release]
