Matt wrote about Wink Glasses a couple of months ago. He was skeptical of their value. I found them on display at CEATEC 2009, and just had to try them out! In the photo above, you can see them in the “active” state, helpfully reminding me that it’s time to blink. In the photo below, you can see them in the inactive state, which means I’ve blinked within the last 5 seconds.

How well do they really work? Here’s a quick video showing them in action.

Maybe they just don’t work so well on gaijin eyes.
