It seems you always forget — your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to the cleaners, your credit card when you are shopping. Such absent-mindedness may be to you; now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the sees. The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also the user to "label" items so that information can be used later on. The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain by pointing at them. Objects indicated are then given a label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.
