Those cameras inside lenses look unbelievably small. I didn’t know “we have the technology” like that, feels spy movie territory.

- nerdponx 4y agoCan't wait for these to be embedded in "smart" TVs for gaze tracking during ads.
- donkeyd 4y agoTVs are massive, so they don't have to be this small and you can already buy TVs with built in cameras, since it can be used for video conferencing. Also, this type of tech can already be used to measure ad awareness in stores [0]. It's also starting to be implemented in cars, to check whether you're paying attention to the road while using 'autonomous' systems. So... This is not really a type of tech that will enable your fears, it already exists, there just doesn't seem a business model for applying it in TVs yet. 0: https://www.unravelresearch.com/en/blog/eye-tracking-in-advertising-did-they-see-my-ad https://www.unravelresearch.com/en/blog/eye-tracking-in-adve...

- lekevicius 4y agoIn each lens, 2 are cameras (inner bottom), other 8 are IR illuminators.
- stavros 4y agoAh okay, that makes more sense, thank you.

- lekevicius 4y agoNanEyeC is 1mm by 1mm, with 320 x 320 resolution. Unbelievable. And slightly worrying: it totally breaks my expectation of what can contain a camera.
