Digital eyes

A Japanese inventor, Hirotaka Osawa, has created glasses (which he calls AgencyGlass) that display a pair of digital eyes, sparing wearers the burden of having to express emotion with their eyes. The NY Daily News reports:

Just as robots can reduce the need for physical labour, the AgencyGlass — which looks like two small TV screens set in spectacle frames — aims to cut down its user's emotional demands by carrying out their eye movements for them.

Big deal. Curly Howard performed this gag in "Horses' Collars" in 1935.

I prefer those X-Ray ones that let you see through women's clothing.

Of course, these may come in handy if you're in some boring professor's class.

Not actually being able to see anything may be of advantage.

This guy's so lazy that he has a machine to carry his eyes movements for him.
