A company called Emteq has unveiled its vision for a new type of smart glasses that peer inward at you rather than outward at the world

Emteq Labs has unveiled a new type of smart glasses that monitor facial movements.

The glasses, called Sense , have a series of sensors in them that the company says can discern the emotional state of the wearer.

Sensors at the top of the frame monitor eye and eyebrow movements, while sensors on the bottom rim can detect cheek and jaw movements.

Sense glasses can track your food consumption, partly with a single outward facing camera.

Emteq wants to help neurodivergent users navigate awkward social interactions.

The tech would be used by therapists, doctors, or dietary consultants to ensure that all the data they’re collecting isn’t used for nefarious purposes.

It’s not far-fetched at all to imagine these internal facing sensors being incorporated into something more feature rich, like Meta 's Ray-Ban smart glasses.

The preoccupation with quantification of ourselves, while it has some value for health, can come with some downsides.
