Google has patented a new type of protection for Google glasses
Google’s new glasses come with a new type of protection system that is to check the “unnatural movement” to lock the headset. If the glasses feel the violent motion, which is changed from the user’s face, they will be locked.
Google has patented this technology. The company filed the patent on September 21, 2011 and the patent has been published on July 17, 2012.
You can read the abstract of the patent below;
A wearable computer determines unnatural movements of a head-mounted display (HMD) and triggers a locking mechanism. In one embodiment, the wearable computer receives movement data from one or more sensors and determines that the movement of the HMD is unnatural. In one embodiment, the wearable computer receives movement data from one or more sensors and determines that the HMD is being worn by an unauthorized user. In response to determining an unnatural movement and/or an unauthorized user wearing the HMD, the wearable computer triggers a locking mechanism, which can beneficially provide security measures for the wearable computer.
