Smart goggles that help swimmers log lengths have been designed by a UK engineering student.

These goggles display the amount of lengths swam, and the time elapsed. Very clelver, and though swimming isn?t a hobby I see this as a good idea.
The inventer of these goggles, Ms Williams, said she had the idea due to her experiences as a lifeguard. Many swimmers rely on a wristwatch or clock to keep track of lap times but both change the way that people swim.
“If they have a watch on a lot of swimmers will move their left arm differently, just to see how fast they are going,” she said. “It’s wasting energy for them really.”
This is a really cool, and I think it will catch on. I wonder how long it is until pedometer glasses are invented.
