Are you ready for wearing contact lenses, so you have eyes of The Terminator? They exist, at least in part.
Babak A. Parviz reports that his team of scientists at the University of Washington have successfully built a human contact eye lense with an LED powered wirelessly with RF.
Conventional contact lenses are polymers. The team integrated control circuits, communication circuits, and miniature antennas into the len using custom-built optoelectronic components.
These scientists say that contact lens components “will eventually include hundreds of LEDs, which will form images in front of the eye, such as words, charts, and photographs.”
Much of the hardware is semitransparent, so wearers can navigate their surroundings without crashing into them or becoming disoriented.
Just imagine what learners can do with this device. Wow! I wonder how it might be used to augment forgetfulness?
