Group shots… More often than not, one person would ruin the photo by blinking or squinting. A good way to solve this is to get the group to close their eyes for about three seconds before taking the shot. Still, no guarantees.
But that might soon become a thing of the past, as Canon is currently working on Blink Shot Technology that detects blinking eyes. Upon detecting a blinking eye, the software will stop the picture from being taken. If the technology works without flaw, any shot that gets fired would certainly guarantee nice opened eyes. Combine this with the three-seconds technique, no one should be feeling sleepy in your photos.
No word on when and on which camera it will debut on. But if I have to guess, it will definitely be on a point-n-shoot and not a DSLR.

It’s difficult not to blink..so it’d probably take forever to take the pictures..
