LED Contact Lenses

LED lights are versatile enough to be used for practically anything, and now there are LED contact lenses!

The University of Washington researchers have been able to work out how to implant semitransparent red and blue LED lights in contact lenses, for the purpose of receiving and displaying data in sharp visual images and video. This means you'll literally be able to watch TV or view photos that are projected directly onto the eyeball.

Once miniature green LEDs are developed (and they’re in the works, as of now), full color displays will be possible. Once that happens, the possibilities are endless. Think about everything your smart phone can do right now, and imagine the same being possible for your eyeball. With LED contact lenses, your hands would be free to pet your robot or tinker with your hover board.

Lead researcher Babak Parvis comments “You won’t necessarily have to shift your focus to see the image generated by the contact lens,” it would just appear in front of you and your view of the real world will be completely unobstructed when the display is turned off.

With augmented reality becoming a reality, it feels like the real world is fast becoming a relic of the past.
