Researchers Reveal Contact Lenses That Stream Data, Will Lead to Terminator Style Displays
Posted on November 23, 2011
Researchers at the University of Washington developed contact lenses that have an antenna fabricated into the lense. This allows transmissions of text and images via radio waves. Right now they can only send a tiny bit of information -- one pixel -- to the lense. The technology is in its infancy stage, but one day you will be able to watch television on your contact lenses, or have a full digital readout accessible through your contacts, just like the cyborgs in the Terminator films. That means screens will become obsolete. Take a look:
The study, which was published in the Institute of Physics Publishing's Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering can be read in .pdf format here. The paper is free for 30 days, but you must register first.
