Smart Goggles
Talk about your power goggles. Apparently one Katie Williams, a Welsh design student at London's Brunel University, has developed a pair of goggles that do more than just protect your eyes from the chlorine in pools. In a Minority Report takeoff, the lenses reflect information off tiny mirrors that allow the swimmer to read data like number of laps completed, speed clocked and total time taken. The power pack, which also houses a compass, sits at the back of the headstrap. A tap of a button sets up the mechanism, while the compass takes note of when the swimmer changes directions. Now all that's needed is to fabricate bifocals into the lens so some of us can see the display and watch our lanes.
