Scientists from Washington University have managed to create a working prototype contact lens containing a system of weak light sources and chipset, which is able to project images directly to the human eye.
A team of scientists led by Professor Babak Parviz first combined chip and miniature light sources biocompatible flexible and transparent material, so it created the unusual lens.
It is alleged that these lenses are absolutely safe for the human eye, although to date, and can not have a big resolution - in the future promised to release a new generation of lenses with a large number of "pixels».
It is expected that in the future these products may be synchronized, for example, a car with an onboard computer for projection of the dashboard right in front of the driver. There are also ideas to offer the user to project websites directly on the eyes for a more comfortable web surfing - after adding the lens of wireless communication systems is quite possible. About the fact that these lenses offer the possibility of improving the effect of immersion in computer games, I keep silent - it is likely that the projecting lens will help players in Silent Hill 8 pants go to pot.
So cyborgs of sci-fi thriller with a cross, Tsiferki and terrain maps before your eyes will soon cease to be a fantasy.
