Contact lenses with LCD that can display text messages [Video]

Ghent University's centre of microsystems technology has developed a spherical curved LCD display which can be embedded in contact lenses and handle projected images and text messages using wireless technology.

The fundamental technology behind this concept already existed to a certain extent, but the researchers at the university's Center of Microsystems Technology have been able to take it a step further and allow use of the whole surface of the curved lens. "Now that we have established the basic technology, we can start working towards real applications, possibly available in only a few years," according to Professor Herbert De Smet. That is an impressive, if ambitious, prediction.

However, at the rate that technology has been advancing, we are not going to contest that objective at all. Video below
