If you had a flash-light option, this could be very useful for reading in bed or exploring caves. |

Her eyes pierced right through me!+ |

"'My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" |

"No, you can't have one! You'll put your eye out!" |
|
| |
Which is what you'd have kids doing for this shit. Hell, I'm tempted. |
|
| |
Ok, but what happens when it rolls around to the back? |
|

I think you're wearing it wrong. |

I said look me in the- OW! OW! OW! |

I'll wait for the carbon laser models,
they can cut. Great for the kitchen. + |

willien, perhaps a barcode scanner? |

It's all good fun until someone lasers an eye. |
|
| |
First off, this is the most hilarious idea I've read in awhile. |
|
| |
Second, and I've seen a few comments already suggest this problem, but it would be dangerous to look someone in the eyes while you're having a conversation. Looking into a laser beam damages the cells in the back of the eye, and cause your friends to go blind. This could have positive side-effects for the company developing this product - because soon the laser would cause your friends to all have damaged eyes, encouraging them to have their eyeballs removed and replaced with these :) |
|
| |
Also, lasers take up quite a bit of current. I like the remote control on/off switch, but another possible solution to this would be to turn it on/off by blinking your eyelids in a certain pattern, so as to trigger internal circuitry connected to a small photoresistor on the outside. Pretty easy to do with electronics. |
|
| |
I'll still mod you up, but these are some pretty serious problems that would need to be dealt with before something like this were to be implemented. |

"Yarrgh! Noone stares down Cap'n Detly no more!" |

[ee-moss], I think we're merely talking about the collimated red flashlights known as 'laser pointers', not an amplified, cohesive light source with destructive capability. |
|
| |
I was just trying to imagine the fun you could have with your cat, if you had one of these things. |
|
| |
Here's looking at you kid. |
|
| |
[ee-m], I assume the remote is to be able to turn it off before looking someone in the eye (unless you want to do damage, then it's for turning it on). |
|
| |
I really like [willien]'s projecter anno. If the eye was hooked up via Bluetooth to a belt device, it could project a line of text or a small image on flat surfaces. |
|
| |
I'm wondering if synchronizing it to the motion of the other eye would be technically possible though? |
|
| |
"I've got my eye on you..." |

[Zanzibar] - Actually, even simple laser pointers cause eye damage if you stare directly into the beam - that's what I was thinking it would be too. It's a great idea, don't get me wrong - but with just about any laser beam, you're concentrating too many photons onto the back of your eyeball and damaging the cells by staring directly into it. Kind of like staring into the sun. Granted, it may take more time to go blind with a laser pointer, but you wouldn't want to be shooting it into people's eyes. :) |
|
| |
A "Knight Rider" glass eye would look
cool too. |
|
| |
brilliant idea. try special effects.. try not to blink ! |
|
| |
"I dont think much of that [Idlischler], hes got a lasy eye". + |
|
| |
An expansion on the theme could see water/fake blood secreting eyes (a variation on the water squirting flower used by clowns). |
|
| |
No one has said the obvious - Why do you need a remote control or blink sensors to turn it on or off? Why not just touch it? You wont feel it. |
|
| |
But [miasere], it so simple—the remote can be built into a special laser pointer.
Redundant, you say.
But no, see, you use the pointer as you would normally, and then, for emphasis, you press the other button (the button no other laser pointer has) and nail your boss with your eyebeam. Just for a second. No one else will notice. But he will think you have super powers. At a minimum, he will be afraid of you and try to promote you out of his division. |

This invention may make breast mirrors more popular. |
|
| |
(does quick Google search for "breast mirrors", and to [World]'s shock and amazement, finds no real hits) |
|
| |
This invention may incent the invention of breast mirrors. |
|
| |
Good lord, I'd never be able to go to Hooters again. |
|
| |
I still have trouble with this invented word. It seems to me that it should be the active verb form of incense. (That I can find reference to the word 'incent' in the American Heritage Dictionary incenses me.) |
|
| |
Damn you [ldischler]! Just found this when checking no one had done it before. You beat me by a few months and got all the croissants. |
|
| |
Oh well, have another. It is a good idea after all. |

You could also be "The girl with kaleidoscope eyes". |
