The new era or technology has begun & scientists trying to challenge all our dreams to come true. Reading emails and text messages on your contact lenses which are linked to internet.It may sound interesting, but scientists claim that your imagination could soon turn into a reality.
In fact, the futuristic technology has taken a step nearer, thanks to an international team which claims to have developed a prototype lens that could potentially provide the wearer with hands-free information updates.
The scientists from Washington University in the US and Aalto University in Finland have constructed a computerised contact lens and demonstrated its safety by testing it on live eyes, and there were no signs of adverse side effects.
At the moment, the contact lens device contains only a single pixel, but the team sees this as a “proof-of-concept”for producing lenses with multiple pixels which, in their hundreds, could be used to display short emails and text messages right before one’s eyes.
The scientists said the device could overlay computer-generated visual information on to the real world and be of use in gaming devices and navigation systems. It could also be linked to the user’s body to provide up-to-date information on glucose levels, which could prove medically important.
Recent advancements in contact lense technology in our life time is staggering. I am a long term wearer (25 years) of contact lense & I was ordering my contact lenses the other day & saw a section on 'innovations in contact lenses', its by no means as sophisticated as the technology displayed in the video. but it is very interesting to see from a historical perspective. I only wish that these products had been available when I was younger.
