Multipurpose contact lens is a new buzz in superhuman vision for Earthly commoners. We’ve seen a hint of them in the past, and again for a reminder of the capabilities being devised, we have Babak A. Parviz, associate professor at University of Washington detailing on the IEEE Spectrum the works of his team to develop electronic contact lenses for both medical and inhumanly applications.
These multifunctional electronic contact lenses would possess medical abilities to monitor glucose, cholesterol, sodium, and potassium levels of the user, sending the same to medics for analysis through wireless data transmitters. That means all those blood test and clinical trials could be done away with; needle fears could be done with also. For more superhuman kind facility these lenses would be apt for augmented vision and other potential image processing implications in technology. Virtual reality is coming closest it can get to the eyes, gear up to embrace fellows.
