The latest study proved the possibility of the contact lens to control only a single pixel. But the authors are sure: it indicates that lenses with multiple pixels, perhaps hundreds will stream messages.

“Some day maybe we’ll have full-fledged streaming in your contact lenses,” said Babak Amir Parviz, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Washington and the co-author of a paper describing the computerized new contact lens in the latest issue of the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering.

“If we can make very small devices of various sorts, if we have the ability to put them into different materials, what can I do with this contact lens that I stare at every morning?”

Well, now the engineers are a long way from emboding it, but they have recently made an important step and proved a prototype was safe for rabbits.Read more
