eye controlled camera

Wouldn't it be great if the picture could be taken with the eye and the only thing the photographer had to do was blink the eye? This won't be a problem anytime soon. Lens settings loaded after the owner's retina is detected, zooming with a wink, and activating the shutter button after a double blink - this is how a device designed by Iris, design engineer Mimi Zou, a graduate of the Royal College of Art, would work.

In addition, biometric features will automatically tag photos, which can then be sent via Wi-Fi or the built-in SD card. In the video you can see how the prototype that was unveiled at the RCA Alumni 2012 event looks and works. Even if the project doesn't work out, you can expect similar eyetracking solutions to lens/camera models in the future.

Unfortunately, the video in the print edition has been removed, so here's another link:
