Just came across this article at BBC about how using a Google Glass hack you can get the device to read your mind (kind of) and get it to do things like take a picture just by thinking it. I guess humans are getting closer to becoming cyborgs everyday. Below is an excerpt and link:
Google Glass has been hacked so that it can be controlled by brainwaves.
By combining the smart glasses with an electroencephalography (EEG) headset, the software makes it possible to take a picture without moving a muscle.
…
An EEG headset can be used to measure when certain parts of the brain show a greater level of activity.
In this case, the MindRDR software monitors when the wearer engages in high levels of concentration.
Within Google Glass’s “screen” – a small window that appears in the corner of the wearer’s right eye – a white horizontal line is shown.
As a user concentrates, the white line rises up the screen. Once it reaches the top, a picture is taken using Glass’s inbuilt camera.
Read the rest at BBC.
