據美國科技博客TheVerge報導，谷歌眼鏡應用程序開發者已開發出一款名為Winky的拍照應用，用戶通過簡單的“眨眼”動作即能完成拍照。
該款應用的開發者邁克·迪吉奧瓦尼(Mike DiGiovanni)認為，用“眨眼”動作來替代之前的語音指令或鏡框按鈕來激活照相功能，這雖然不是一個很大的變動，但將為用戶體驗帶來質的改變。
 迪吉奧瓦尼還發布了一段Winky應用的演示視頻。他指出，該款應用使用了“很酷的算法”，能夠檢測到用戶眨眼的力度和幅度。不過，為了與日常的“眨眼”動作區分開來，用戶需要通過刻意的“眨眼”動作才能激活拍照功能。
Winky與紐約時報、Path這兩款已獲谷歌批准的第三方應用所有不同，只有懂得如何運行 APK(APK全稱為Android Package，即Android安裝包)的用戶才能夠安裝Winky。
通過“眨眼”來拍照，或許又會引發一場關於谷歌眼鏡侵犯他人隱私的熱議。但就目前而言，谷歌眼鏡應用程序的開發才剛剛起步， “眨眼”動作在谷歌眼鏡的運用到底會反響如何，還有待進一步觀察。(葉佳http://news.cnyes.com/Content/20130503/KH7TFZE5TWBGQ.shtml)
