Smart Contact Lens
DARPA May Have Found It Source: DARPA Giving Soldiers "Superpowers" The technology comes from France's engineering school IMT Atlantique. They've created the first standalone contact lens with a tiny, flexible microbattery. The US Defense Departments Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA is interested in the technology to enhance soldiers' visual capabilities in the field and a lot more. This appears to be the answer to DARPA's 10 year search for very smart contact lens. Breakthrough Smart Visual Technology This is a wirelessly connected contact lens capable of providing augmented vision assistance and relaying visual information wirelessly. IMT has developed a flexible battery that continuously powers a LED light for several hours. They add that graphene-based flexible electronics can enhance the smart contact lens' capabilities. Many Applications Besides greatly augmenting soldiers' capabilities in the field, this has applicati...
