Now, contact lens that can receive your text messages
Now, contact lens that can receive your text messages Scientists have developed a new technology that allows electronic messages sent from mobile phones to be directly projected on to contact lens placed in the recipient's eyes. The technology, developed by Belgian researchers, allows information such as text messages from a mobile phone to the contact lenses. Ghent University's Centre of Micro-Systems Technology developed the spherical curved LCD display which can be embedded in contact lenses and handle projected images using wireless technology, 'The Telegraph' reported. "Now that we have established the basic technology, we can start working towards real applications, possibly available in only a few years," said Professor Herbert De Smet. The new technology allows the whole curved surface of the lens to be used, unlike previous contact lens displays, which are limited to a few small pixels to make up an image. O...
