Augmented Reality

This is fucking mind-blowing, to think that this is almost within our reach.

On top of corrective vision - “contacts … are one of the only disposable, mass-market products that remain in contact, through fluids, with the interior of the body for an extended period of time. … When you get a blood test, your doctor is probably measuring many of the same biomarkers that are found in the live cells on the surface of your eye—and in concentrations that correlate closely with the levels in your bloodstream. An appropriately configured contact lens could monitor cholesterol, sodium, and potassium levels, to name a few potential targets. Coupled with a wireless data transmitter, the lens could relay information to medics or nurses instantly, without needles or laboratory chemistry, and with a much lower chance of mix-ups.”

And on top of corrective vision and this, the possibilities seem endless.
