Vision Optic MyDo Bururu sleep warning glasses
30th January, 2007 by stuart
Vision Optic Co. has devised a pair of glasses, called MyDo Bururu, that prevent the wearer from falling asleep. Designed to assist those cramming for exams or going on a long drive, they work by detecting what angle the bespectacled user’s head is at. If the head drops below a certain level, a little motor kicks-off to vibrate the earpiece and no doubt scare the crap out of whoever is wearing them. The glasses can be set to go off at one of four levels of head-droop.
Yours, with lenses, for 45,000 yen (£189/$370).

[…] We’ve already seen the sleep warning glasses for studying and whatnot, but what about a situation where staying awake is a life or death situation? Luckily, we now have the Drowse Prevention Alarm! Stick it in your ear, fall asleep at the wheel, and drop your head more than 10 degrees. BEEP!!! You’ll wake up just in time to minimize the number of casualties. Made by Revex, the alarm has a high and low volume setting, and costs just 1,200 yen (£5.30/$10.30). […]
