Camera zoom operated by eyelid movement

Talk about having an eye for a picture. Japanese company Sharp has designed a camera that allows you to zoom in simply by partially closing your eyelid. Sharp’s automatic zoom technology, developed at its US lab in Washington state, uses an optical sensor just below the viewfinder to detect how much of the white of your eye, the sclera, is visible. Partially closing your eye for longer than the time it takes to blink activates the zoom, and doing this again zooms back out.
