Jins MEME are ordinarily looking glasses designed and developed by a Japanese eyewear company Jins. They are not strictly speaking a head-mounted display as they do not have any displaying capability, nor does it feature any cameras. The frames of the glasses features a set of sensors that measures the position of the glasses and the electric potential of the wearer's eyes. The ability to analyse the eye movements is the main selling point of the glasses, the company markets the glasses to drivers. The eye-tracking can help prevent microsleep by warning the driver early for example.[6] It can also track the user's posture. The device is not able to process the recorded data by itself and has to be connected to a smartphone to fully function. This is achieved by a Bluetooth connection.

The company also has an academic pack available to research institutions.[7] According to Jins, the glasses are "world’s first scientifically-proven wearable eyewear." The academic pack features two Jins MEME glasses, as well as other items such as manual, adapter and so on,[8] which now allow potential researchers to extract the raw data from the sensors directly, without an API.

Main characteristics

The device greatly resembles a pair of normal glasses as all of the electronics is hidden on the glasses' frame. The device does not feature any display or projectors. It also does not have a camera. The available sensors are an accelerometer, gyroscope, and an electrooculography sensor housed in the bridge of the glasses. The frame is thicker at the ends so there is space for the battery with indicated life of 16 hours on one charge. The device also feature a Bluetooth antenna for connectivity.[9]

Jins MEME do not run any operating system and have to be paired with a smartphone to process and store the gathered data. For this, the company made a custom app available. So far the app only gathers and display the data but the company plans on expanding the features with future add-ons after the device release in 2016.[10]

Purpose

Jins MEME is a head-mounted device that gathers data about the eye movements and position of the head of its wearer. It does not feature a display nor a camera. The recorded data can be stored and analysed in a connected smartphone.
