These new glasses are supposed to amplify the wearer’s ability to interpret the emotions and health of other people, by emphasizing the differences in color as well as brightness of their skin tone. The O2amp glasses were developed by 2AI Labs and I’d like to try them out to see how accurately they work.
The tinted glasses are supposed to have numerous medical applications as well. By reducing parts of the visible light spectrum, they highlight skin oxygenation and hemoglobin concentration. These could even help medical professionals locate veins, detect trauma or cyanosis.
These kinds of tinted shades could also be used in sports, security and poker. However, I’m sure they’ll get banned soon enough if anyone uses them in sports or poker to read the emotional state of other players.
The O2Amp glasses are currently being tested at a couple of regional hospitals for their effectiveness.
