Smart goggles that help swimmers log laps have been designed by a UK engineering student.
The Inview goggles display a lap count and time elapsed on their lenses so swimmers can track their progress.
Invented by industrial design student Katie Williams, the goggles use an in-built compass to spot when swimmers complete laps.
Ms Williams said the goggles would let swimmers concentrate on improving their strokes rather than count laps.

Technology is getting everywhere
Wonder what would happen if you just span the goggles round on your finger new world record perhaps but yep, technology is getting everywhere, gotta love it, I saw a pair of sunglasses with built in mp3 player / phones the other day, very nice
Services: Portable TV + Wet string =
vast improvement on what I got from NTL.

Re: Smart swimming
looks like it's still an "idea" as there is a lot of "would" used in the report.
Good idea though.
ould even be done with sensors at both ends to help measure individual lap timing etc.
The prototype might be a bit of a problem until they manage to minaturise the circuitry & waterproof it, otherwise the extension lead would get rather wet

Well that and swimming with a PC on your back would slow you down lol
