What a find! The virtual reality glasses that remember where you've left your car keys: New technology recognises objects and 'tracks' their whereabouts for the wearer
- The new Microsoft HoloLens promises to make losing items a thing of the past
- Users can hold an object up to the glasses and say 'track this object'
- When they say, for example, 'where are my keys?' a screen will pop up saying where it last saw them
- It can also flash up an alert if you leave a tracked item in public
It’s a maddening moment suffered regularly by many of us: you’re ready to leave the house, you feel in your pocket… and you cry: ‘Anyone seen my car keys?’
But a remarkable new piece of technology, being developed by Microsoft, promises to make such scenes a thing of the past.
The HoloLens device – a set of virtual reality glasses – works by ‘remembering’ what things look like when the person wearing the glasses holds an item up to tiny cameras fitted into them and says: ‘Track this object.’

Then, whenever keys or other items ‘tracked’ by the glasses are in view, the glasses record their location.
The wearer will be able to ask the glasses later ‘Where are my keys?’ and a tiny screen in the corner of the lens will suggest where the glasses last saw them.
Microsoft’s patent for the glasses suggests other uses, such as flashing an alert if, say, you leave your wallet in a restaurant.
