Subliminal Memory Glasses
Posted by Andy Sjostrom in "HARDWARE" @ 01:00 PM
One 1/180 of a second is not a long time. Blink, and there you have it. This is what the article "Memories in the Corner of My Eye" is about as it explains how a PDA can be used to view messages during such a short time span and leaving them in your memory as subliminal messages. Beam me up, Scotty!
"Trying to remember a full day's schedule is no mean feat -- especially when it's full of business meetings, grocery shopping, kids' soccer practice and music lessons, and sundry other errands. Help may be on the way from a pair of specs dubbed the memory glasses. The specs have a tiny television screen embedded into one of the lenses and are hooked up to a PDA. The PDA can be programmed to send messages or images to the screen. Each prompt is geared to jog the wearer's memory -- whether it is an image of a soccer ball, the day's calendar or the name of the guy who just said hello. And all of these messages are flashed before the eye at 1/180 of a second, so the wearer isn't even conscious that they have been sent."
