LED Lights Make Augmented Vision a Reality
LED contact lenses? University of Washington researchers have figured out how to implant semitransparent red and blue LED lights in contact lenses, for the purpose of receiving and displaying data in sharp visual images and video. This means wearers will literally be able to watch TV or view photos that are projected directly onto their eyeballs.
Once miniature green LEDs are developed (and they’re in the works, as of now), full color displays will be possible. Once that happens, the possibilities are endless. Think about everything your smart phone can do right now, and imagine the same being possible for your eyeball.
Lead researcher Babak Parvis comments: “You won’t necessarily have to shift your focus to see the image generated by the contact lens,” it would just appear in front of you and your view of the real world will be completely unobstructed when the display is turned off.

For some unfathomable reason, this scares the crap out of me. 

I have enough problems with regular contacts.
But reblogging for research later

FUCK YEAH UW!!!!!

Things that are so unbelievably cool.  Can I PLEASE try?!

Hey Ara’s school. Wonder if they need research subjects… XD

It would be cooler if the image actually came out like a hologram so you could be like Blind Mag. Lol.
