“#S.Korean designer creates ‘Third Eye’ for ‘smartphone zombies’<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

A South Korean industrial designer has come up with a satirical solution for \u201csmartphone zombies\u201d who can\u2019t take their eyes away from their screen long enough to stop themselves walking into a wall or other obstacle.<\/p>\n

Paeng Min-wook, 28, has developed a robotic eyeball he has dubbed \u201cThe Third Eye\u201d, which obsessive mobile phone users can strap to their foreheads so they can browse injury-free on the go.<\/p>\n

The device, part of an artwork Paeng has called \u201cPhono Sapiens\u201d, opens its translucent eyelid whenever it senses the user\u2019s head has been lowered to look at a smartphone. When the user comes within one to two metres of an obstacle, the device beeps to warn of the impending danger.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the look of future mankind with three eyes,\u201d Paeng, a postgraduate in innovation design engineering at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College, told Reuters as he demonstrated use of The Third Eye around Seoul.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we cannot take our eyes off from smartphones, the extra eye will be needed in future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paeng\u2019s invention uses a gyro sensor to measure the oblique angle of the user\u2019s neck and an ultrasonic sensor to calculate the distance between the robotic eye and any obstacles. Both sensors are linked to an open-source single-board microcontroller, with battery pack.<\/p>\n

Paeng\u2019s demonstration of the device in Seoul this week garnered attention from passersby.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he looked like an alien with an eye on his forehead,\u201d Seoul resident, Lee Ok-jo, said. \u201cThese days many young people can get into accidents while using their mobile phone. This would be good for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paeng plans to develop a camera module for the Third Eye and a linked mobile phone app<\/a>lication, but he has no plans to commercialise his invention \u2013 a stance that he might consider changing given potential demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is so cool and interesting,\u201d said 23-year-old Shin Jae-ik. \u201cWe can easily bump into each other on street while using smartphones. I may not need it now, but I\u2019d like to buy it when they sell it later.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
