iPal are glasses with two high-definition cameras and two eye-tracking sensors build into the frame. The device allows the user to capture pictures and record videos hand-free using only eye gestures. The glasses are connected to a processing unit resembling a smartphone via thin cable. The unit functions as a data storage, battery and can share the recorded content wirelessly with with other devices through Bluetooth.

Main characteristics

The device consists of two units connected together by a thin cable, glasses and a processing unit called Pocket Control Module. The glasses closely resemble regular glasses but the frame is equipped with four cameras, two 5 megapixels cameras facing forward in the corners of the frame, and two eye-tracking micro cameras in the bottom of the frame facing the user's eyes. The two front-oriented cameras have field of view of 120 degrees, are capable of zoom, and can record videos in 720p resolution.

The Pocket Control Module features a 3 inch touchscreen, 8 GB of data storage, USB connector, and a battery that is able to power the device for about 10 hours. The control unit can connect to Android, iOS or Windows.[3]
