One way of Cheating in an Exam

Since exams have ever existed, people have always wanted to find a way to get the answers (or in other words, cheat). Strict rules are generally put in place to prevent this from happening. The latest however, might not have been expected. A while back I wrote about the M500 watch which is a regular watch but with a cell phone built in. A watch the same, or similar, had been receiving SMS messages through the exam and the teacher spotted it. The kid must have been crazy though as he was playing with his watch throughout the exam.

This has now resulted in a ban across Thailand of people wearing watches in to exams. You can imagine cell phones being built in to other objects in the future such as glasses, pens and other various items you bring to class. Maybe it’s time to start looking at blocking cell phone signals while people are in class although that it’s self would raise a few human rights eye brows.

Onion Goggles

If you suffer from tears when chopping Onions then the Onion Goggles will sort you out. The onion goggles have fog-free clear lenses along with a foam seal that goes around your eyes to prevent the onion vapors from making you cry. The glasses will fit most faces and guaranteed to make you look weird.

They cost $19.95 which seems a little steep although it could be perfect for a person with a full time onion cutting job.

Glow Stick Glow Glasses

Glow Glasses work on the same concept as a glow stick. They just glow in bright colours to get attention in dark places. To get them to glow you just bend them to break the inside glass ampoules, then shake to mix up the chemicals. Once shaken and glowing you then fix the glasses together and wear them. The glow on the glasses will last around 6 hours.

The glow glasses come with a set of 12 units to build them. The glasses are made of 5 parts. 2 glow sticks in each with 3 plastic parts to hold them together.

A Wearable TV - The Teleglass

The teleglass is a tiny screen which you wear on your glasses. It is aimed at the bored commuter to allow them to watch TV while on the move. When viewing the screen so close to your eye it appears to be the equivalent of a 28 inch screen 2 meters in front of you. As well as being able to watch TV the device can also connect to portable video players such as an iPod to allow you to watch your favourite movie on the go.

Colour Changing Glasses

These are not the most attractive set of sunglasses I have seen, but they do include some cool technology to allow the tint on them to change colour. The glasses are more active and more intelligent then other glasses and can change under conditions of light, reflection and by manually twisting a dial on one of the arms.

I am not convinced yet, but maybe the technology could be used elsewhere.

Designer Glasses with Display

When looking for a screen to wear you are often faced with some weird looking glasses for your face. Lumus-Optical seems like it could come to the rescue with the above prototype glasses. According to sources, the glasses feature a projector on the arm which projects the image on to the lens and gives what appears to be a 60 inch screen at 10 feet in front of you.

Hopefully more details will follow next month on this device.
