A third-year industrial design student has developed these ‘Inview’ swimmers’ goggles, featuring an integrated lap counter to help keep track of, you know, laps. A built-in compass detects when the swimmers turn around, but there’s a slight problem with the current prototype:
The prototype electronics package housing compass and lap counter are the size of a small stone, and would be a bit uncomfortable to swim with, said Ms Williams.
Plans for the production models, of course, include a smaller, less drowny package. (Thanks, Gary!)
