Superhuman vision may be possible with circuited contact lenses.
Engineers at the University of Washington (UW) have for the first time produced a biologically safe contact lens with a technology that could help the visually impaired, vehicle operators or may even be of interest to video game companies. A prototype uses a new technique to develop contact lenses with electronic circuits and infrared light to generate a virtual display.
"Looking through a completed lens, you would see what the display is generating superimposed on the world outside," said Babak Parviz, a UW assistant professor of electrical engineering. "This is a very small step toward that goal, but I think it's extremely promising."
