Yes that’s right. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a contact lens that will help people see farther but also be there personal computer. This team of Researchers are lead by Babak Parviz in an effort to create the first contact lens screen ever.

Potential uses include virtual displays for pilots, video-game projections and telescopic vision for soldiers. A working prototype of a lens-embedded antenna that draws power for the device from radio frequencies has also been created. The next steps are to build a version that can display several pixels—and then to test it on a person.

In my opinion I would want one whether I had bad eyesight or not. They have not yet said when they expect their first one to be ready for release but they have successfully tested one on a dog. They kept the power off because of the dogs sensitivity but they proved that it was not harmful to the eye. The concept of being able to put such small parts on to a contact lens at micro-scale uses something called self-assembly.

“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.”

The UW team uses the technique self-assembly to manufacture the eyewear. Researchers dust a specially designed contact lens with micro-scale components that automatically bond to predetermined receptor sites. The shape of each component dictates where it attaches.

“There’s a lot of room to expand,” Babak Parviz “You can let your imagination run wild.”
