The device opens its translucent eyelid whenever it senses the user s head has been lowered to look at a smartphone. When the user comes within one to two metres of an obstacle, the device beeps to warn of the impending danger. This is the look of future mankind with three eyes, Paeng, a postgraduate in innovation design engineering at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London, told Reuters as he demonstrated use of The Third Eye around Seoul. As we cannot take our eyes off from smartphones, the extra eye will be needed in future.
Paeng s invention uses a gyro sensor to measure the oblique angle of the user s neck and an ultrasonic sensor to calculate the distance between the robotic eye and any obstacles. Both sensors are linked to an open-source single-board microcontroller, with battery pack.
