Samsung patents smart contact lenses with a built-in camera | The Compost Bin | Forums

wonder how comfortable they will be to wear

In the future, we could all be wearing smart contact lenses, like the ones secret agents use in movies.

Samsung has been granted a patent in South Korea for contact lenses with a display that projects images directly into wearer's eyes, according to the Samsung-focused blog SamMobile. A built-in camera and sensors are controlled by blinking.

Embedded antennas then beam content to an external smartphone-like device for processing.

According to SamMobile's report, Samsung started developing smart contact lenses as a means to create a better augmented reality experience than the ones that exist through Google Glass-like wearables. Smart contact lenses would allow AR to be projected right into a person's eyes and be more invisible at the same time.
