metal frame laser eyetap computer controlled laser light source run from glasseye camera an eyetap 1 2 3 is a concept for a wearable computing device that is worn in front of the eye that acts as a camera to record the scene available to the eye as well as a display to superimpose computer generated imagery on the original scene available to the eye 3 4 this structure allows the user s eye to operate as both a monitor and a camera as the eyetap intakes the world around it and augments the image the user sees allowing it to overlay computer generated data over top of the normal world the user would perceive in order to capture what the eye is seeing as accurately as possible an eyetap uses a beam splitter 5 to send the same scene with reduced intensity to both the eye and a camera the camera then digitizes the reflected image of the scene and sends it to a computer the computer processes the image and then sends it to a projector the projector sends the image to the other side of the beam splitter so that this computer generated image is reflected into the eye to be superimposed on the original scene stereo eyetaps modify light passing through both eyes but many research prototypes mainly for reasons of ease of construction only tap one eye eyetap is also the name of an organization founded by inventor steve mann 6 7 8 9 to develop and promote eyetap related technologies such as wearable computers 4 10 possible uses edit inventor steve mann using weather resistant eyetap together with a hydraulophone an eyetap is somewhat like a head up display hud the important difference is that the scene available to the eye is also available to the computer that projects the head up display this enables the eyetap to modify the computer generated scene in response to the natural scene one use for instance would be a sports eyetap here the wearer while in a stadium would be able to follow a particular player in a field and have the eyetap display statistics relevant to that player as a floating box above the player another practical use for the eyetap would be in a construction yard as it would allow the user to reference the blueprints especially in a 3d manner to the current state of the building display a list of current materials and their current locations as well perform basic measurements or even in the business world the eyetap has great potential for it would be capable of delivering to the user constant up to date information on the stock market the user s corporation and meeting statuses on a more day to day basis some of steve mann s first uses for the technology was using it to keep track of names of people and places his to do lists and keeping track of his other daily ordeals 11 the eyetap criteria clarification needed are an attempt to define how close a real practical device comes to such an ideal eyetaps could have great use in any field where the user would benefit from real time interactive information that is largely visual in nature this is sometimes referred to as computer mediated reality 12 13 commonly known as augmented reality 14 eyetap has been explored as a potential tool for individuals with visual disabilities due to its abilities to direct visual information to parts of the retina that function well 15 as well eyetap s role in sousveillance has been explored by mann jason nolan and barry wellman 16 17 18 possible side effects edit users may find that they experience side effects such as headaches and difficulty sleeping if usage occurs shortly before sleep citation needed mann finds that due to his extensive use of the device that going without it can cause him to feel nauseous unsteady naked when he removes it 2 cyborglogs eyetaps edit the eyetap has applications in the world of cyborg logging as it allows the user the ability to perform real time visual capture of their daily lives from their own point of view in this way the eyetap could be used to create a lifelong cyborg log or glog of the user s life and the events they participate in potentially recording enough media to allow producers centuries in the future to present the user s life as interactive entertainment or historical education to consumers of that era history edit steve mann created the first version of the eyetap which consisted of a computer in a backpack wired up to a camera and its viewfinder which in turn was rigged to a helmet ever since this first version it has gone through multiple models as wearable computing evolves allowing the eyetap to shrink down to a smaller and less weighty version currently the eyetap consists of the eyepiece used to display the images the keypad which the user can use to interface with the eyetap and have it perform the desired tasks a cpu which can be attached to most articles of clothing and in some cases even a wi fi device so the user can access the internet and online data principle of operation edit the eyetap is essentially a half silvered mirror in front of the user s eye reflecting some of the light into a sensor the sensor then sends the image to the aremac a display device capable of displaying data at any fitting depth the output rays from the aremac are reflected off the half silvered mirror back into the eye of the user along with the original light rays in these cases the eyetap views infrared light as well as the overall design schematic of how the eyetap manipulates lightrays 19 a conceptual diagram of an eyetap components edit ccd cameras charge coupled device are the most common type of
