Quite a bizarre concept... Im clueless as to how it works.

I don't think it actually does, its simply the student's prediction of what cameras can become if the technology is invented.

Though with all her ideas of future technology it would still use a CF or SD card - surely memory would improved by the time we have the rest of this stuff.

Interesting idea, and whilst the final design hasn't been realised, it's not future technology, as a working version was presented to the RCA. As for how it works, my guess would be based on eye tracking tech, which utilize iris detection and glint metrics, but that is just a guess as all the eye tracking equipment I've used in the past has required pretty much three computers.

kirkschwarz is a naughty person ... Sorry, but I hate overhyped claims... I have a real problem with the concept of taking a photograph of where you're looking, clearly it doesn't, it takes a photography of where you point the damn thing. It's hardly motorised, it doesn't come on a tripod and follow your gaze, it's not attached to your head. It's a telescope with live view, whoop-di-do. Until it actually does what it says in full, I'm going to be a pedantic twat about it!
Can someone tell me how to put text in this box???

Some of the last ore digital eos cameras had the eye focus thing I think? If you add in sat nav and wifi tech I guess we're close already but I can't see it being better than a dslr or as cheap as many point and shoots and might lack the general utility of phone cameras in any case. Interesting but hard to place other than in a novelty and wealthy environment perhaps?

can you post links to info about the working version - I did a very quick search & the couple of things I found showed it as a concept, would be interested to read about the working version.

It's not possible, even in principle, for a camera to reproduce what you see.

Canon produced a 35mm SLR camera that had eye-controlled focus. User-selected focus by eye movement (EOS 50E/Elan IIE/EOS-55 Models ONLY) You looked where you wanted to focus. The focus was fixed when the shutter button was pressed half way. It needed to be calibrated to each user's eye, worked differently with and without glasses on, etc.

Canon's first camera with eye-controlled focus was the EOS 5 launched in 1992.It only worked with the camera in horizontal format.They also had a version called the A2 which was the same camera but with out the eye-controlled focusing and only available in USA.
