QuoteUniversity of Washington researchers have figured 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 wearers will literally be able to watch TV or view photos that are projected directly onto their eyeballs.
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.

How does data feed into those thingies?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
I'd need to get used to contacts first.

I'd be willing to give contacts a shot for an HUD.
I could never use contacts for anything; I can't even watch people put them in or take then out, I have ot leave the room. I can't even use eye drops.

Bluetoof!
I'm curious as to how the hell they're powered, and whether people really want electrical current running over their corneas.
Nano batteries?

:D Yeah, I might wait a few iterations before ordering :D

I am guessing we already do at the level that would be required. Those currents may be what powers it. Another way could be the temperature differential between the two sides of the lens.
When something is miniaturized to this level the amount of energy required to power it goes down as well. The difficulty is getting all the required systems in a flexible and durable frame while still being transparent over most of its surface.
Hate the future <_<

Yeah I never wanted contacts either. Besides, I look better with something covering part of my face.
I assumed I'd get contacts when my vision was bad enough to require glasses. Out of my immediate family though, I'm the only one who doesn't require vision correction in order to drive.

I'm pretty much the same way. I've developed a method of eye dropping that acommodates my sensitivity. I touch the nozzle on my tear duct, put in a drop, then tilt my head to the side to make the juice slosh over the eye ball.
I use contacts, but still can't use eye drops in a normal way. My blink reflex is too strong or something. Whatever the reason it won't work. Like Yi I've developed my own method. I pull on my lower eyelid to make a cup of sorts.
Also, what kind of HUD would the average person need? Hidden texts? This technology confuses and angers me.

Mine would have a boner force rate built in. And a dangerous minority alarm.
Lol. Also contacts are really hard to keep from "spinning" (see movies where the eye slit contacts are at a weird angle)

If they have an external reference point it would be easy to keep the display oriented properly for the eye.
Been wearing contacts since 1986. They're a piece of cake. Alas, I'm getting to the age where I'm going to need bifocal lenses soon if I want to read for any long periods of time while I wear them. :(
And all you eyedropper weirdos are exactly that. :lol:

I haven't had a reason to use eye drops in quite sometime. I know I hated them as a child. :blush:

Hell, so did I. I remember when they had to ask somebody in the waiting room to come in and help hold me down for them; boy, was Mom pissed. Then I grew up.
I still hate that puff test. :angry:
Yeah, that's annoying as balls. NO DOC I'LL DO IT MYSELF
My eye doctor uses something else now. No more shots of air in the eye.

Yeah that's what I was told too. I haven't been in a bit and I should sense I do shell out 8 bucks a paycheck for vision.
Man, last time I saw the optometrist he just spat in my eye.

Haven't you heard about how the requirements that employers provide healthcare has been pushed to 2015? :huh:

derfetus believes if your optometrist can't charge you 1 billyun dollars an office visit, the American economy will fail. It's all your fault, Raz.

Odd there's been a lot of news on that front.
Shouldn't something to do with contact lenses be under the purview of HHS, not HUD?
