New Google Glass App Helps You to 'DriveSafe'
Just ask nicely "OK Glass, keep me awake" and the application will interact with the specs to warn the user if they are dozing off.
Using an infrared light sensor that detects the driver/wearer's winks and blinks in addition to a tilt sensor that measures the orientation of the user's head, DriveSafe app is capable of detecting when the driver begins to doze off and sends an audible alert through the bone conduction speaker to jolt the wearer back to consciousness.
It can also help find the nearest rest area for a quick stop to regain some energy for the remainder of the drive.
In a disclaimer on its website, the company makes it clear that DriveSafe is alpha software and is not guaranteed to save your life, nor should you rely on it in that way.
"DriveSafe is not liable for any accidents or injuries that may occur while using DriveSafe," the site said. "Be sure to be well rested and comfortable before driving, and keep your eyes on the road (DriveSafe can be used simply with your voice)."
