Computerized contact lenses with display capacity are currently being tested on rabbits in the hopes that versions for humans will be available in the near future. From Discovery:
“Once the researchers had determined that the experimental lenses were safe in the lab, they tested them on live rabbits. After wearing them for a short period, the rabbits didn’t have any abrasions or thermal burning. ‘We have been able to build the whole system and test it on rabbits, on live eyes, and show that this works and it’s safe,’ Parviz said.
Being able to display information and images directly into the field of vision via contact lens would be useful in a number of ways, according to the engineers. The devices could be used for navigation, for gaming, and even as a way to monitor someone’s health and safety. It could also be a super sneaky way to access info while “
