You probably think that we can’t tell you anything at all about Google, but you’re wrong. We are talking about one of the most important technological giants in the world, which is characterized by carrying out research and development in countless fields. You probably know that the company has many patents, but these are the most curious Google patents.
Something common at Google is to develop solutions that end up disappearing, as in the case of Stadia and others, the light never ends. Precisely, we have been looking for some of these more unknown solutions that are sure to catch your attention.
Glasses with projectable keyboard
A few years ago Google introduced Glass, smart glasses with augmented reality. These glasses were patented by the company in 2011 and little else has been known about them since then. One version of these glasses had the ability to project a keyboard directly onto the user’s hand or arm.
It is not a physical projection, but rather it simulates a keyboard on our arm or hand. Using a camera on the front of the glasses, it detects the movements we make as if we were pressing the keys. Beyond a few sketches, there are not many more examples of this technology.
personal air freshener
Surely you have seen or have at home an automatic air freshener that periodically releases a fragrance. These devices are very interesting, as they allow the house or bathroom to always have a pleasant smell. Well, in 2012, Google patented a body fan that detects bad body odor and sprays a pleasant fragrance.
One of the strangest aspects is that the device can connect to the internet to know the location of our contacts. This is designed to only be activated if we have friends and family nearby, we suppose, to save fragrance. Thus, if there is someone nearby and we have sweated, for example, it will spray a fragrance that masks the bad smell.
As far as we know, it has never been presented in public and there are only a few sketches of it.
Bear-shaped monitoring robot
Probably one of the most disturbing and disturbing inventions is the Teddy Bear friend. This teddy bear includes speakers, cameras and microphones inside. The patent was filed in 2012 by Google and raised quite a few concerns among people.
This bear is designed to keep an eye on children without having to be there physically. It is really not something very innovative, since there are many devices of this type on the market. Surely, if it weren’t for the controversy, it would have been released and we would know more about it.
Diabetic watch
Smart watches do not, in many cases, respond very well to their name. Some offer interesting capabilities, such as viewing heart rate or blood oxygen saturation. Well, Google has a patent for the development of a smart watch that measures blood glucose.
Something very interesting about this watch is that it is powered by solar energy, so it would not need to be recharged. It is a very interesting solution for people who suffer from this ailment and could greatly improve their lives. It seems to have smart alarms when it detects a drop or rise in sugar.
Weather-Based Advertising
This patent dates back to 2008 and refers to a Google system that recommends actions based on the weather. The patent aims for maximum customization of advertising according to the climate and air in the area. This patent is based on a sensor integrated into the smartphone that measures factors such as temperature, humidity, light and air composition.
It would be a personalized advertising technology in real time according to environmental conditions. As far as we know, it has never been implemented, although who knows.
Smart tattoo
It is possibly one of the most disturbing things patented by Google that we can find. We are talking about an innovative high-tech tattoo, which is installed on the neck and would integrate a microphone. This tattoo connects wirelessly to the smartphone to make calls without having to use the phone.
Apparently, this device would also integrate a lie detection method based on voice modulation. I would assume that, when faced with a lie, he would inform the interlocutor.
