Are you bored with looking out through your boring eyes everyday? Well be bored no more as you can now look at the world with a Heads Up Display crafted onto a contact lens. Soon I'm sure that this item will wifi images to a recording device so that you can take pictures of other "eyes" without anybody knowing... Via Futurismic.

So is that a bad thing?

not really, you can look up panties while being a safe distance away! Like that guy from onikuza with camera on his foot and goggles

World games FTW??? Will be really nice when you can use something like that without damaging your eyes, and working with a computer... Looking forward for AUG games (Augmented Reality), World games (think treasure hunting games with GPS) and stuff like that. Can also be used for monitoring health stuff, sports and well... all sorts of things.

Sounds like a step towards Dennou Coil -ike coolness, one can only imagine the possibilities in this technology.

OMG that'd be cool like Denno Coil, but more advanced step in making it a contact lens.

it'll be ligth years away till we see commercial use of this tech if they can't even perfected a HUD on a regular glass ala DBZ
(ID #21901) Posted on 2008/01/19 01:57
Well i don't know about light years away, decades would be more accurate
(ID #230778) Posted on 2008/07/05 23:56
Does it detect power levels too?

We need eyes that can do live recording, to replay those "moments" where the wind was strong and "things" went flying.

I would get rid of those (boring) glasses before that... Or maybe not, since I have to wear them since the tender age of 2 or 3. Thanks genetics, thanks dad. And life is crazy enough as it is already, I don't think I need to have LSD effects in lenses. So no, really, but thank you still for the proposition.
(ID #21913) Posted on 2008/01/19 02:52
Imagine looking at someone with that in their eye.
(ID #21921) Posted on 2008/01/19 04:04
Worse than being "Geassed"? LOL

This makes me think of the anime "Dennou Coli" >.>
(ID #21917) Posted on 2008/01/19 03:26
Um...I think I'm missing something here...What is the point of the lines on it?! Won't it just be blocking your vision?! It'd be cool for Halloween, or for animethons, but even then, no one will see it unless you have a light blue color of eye...unless you decide to wear two contact lenses per one eye...ouch. I wish they had like a "system analysis" built in to a contact lens. Kind of like "This person is made out of 50% fat..." Or.."This person is xx days away from a natural death"...or something like that. OH!! Came up with an idea! I bet that if those contact lenses came out, they would cost more! But fear no more! You can have your own pair, out of your old one! All you have to do is take the contact lenses and a permanent marker! You can have a customized contact lens! and you can have the lines in different colors as well!!! Yeeeey!!! *Blindness probably guaranteed*
(ID #21931) Posted on 2008/01/19 04:39
Umm... Those "lines" are the integrated circuit that makes the "trip" happen. Not sure that it is designed to be seen by others. It would be more the resulting dances and other unconscious moves that would be good for Halloween? XD And for the info, looks more like gossiping material than anything else (stuff I definitely wouldn't be tempted to buy). Of course, if you were sarcastic all during this comment, I have nothing else but to say that it was rather amusing.
(ID #21935) Posted on 2008/01/19 05:39
i would hope they put some kind of see through your clothes type of thing ... thatd be nice.. but not exactly because if an old senior walks by... blahhhhh...
(ID #21932) Posted on 2008/01/19 04:42
Better not then, unless they develop some selective vision... Quite improbable.

I like to HID on my glasses interfaced with a small devices with bluetooth.I would not like to have anything artificial unless it is a complete replacement of my eyes. It would be useful like driving, surfing the net, IR viewing and seeing in different wavelengths of light. GITS came to mind instantly.
(ID #21934) Posted on 2008/01/19 05:15
so cool, now i dont have to "right-click -> save as" for my online mangas anymore. I can just read and save together.. Furthermore its so small and transperent, i can leave it by the escalator and take pantsu-shots.

Nice. Watch anime while working, driving, walking, etc. and get into trouble. The list of potential hazard goes on and on. Anyway, if one wears it, will he look like this? ==> (@ _ @)

Well, It's a HUD. I'm sure red tracking recticules and flashing red icons will be put into play when one's crossing the road while playing the latest DL-able eroge, to set an example for the first of many hazards. That aside, this is pretty cool. Imagine having a waypoint floating in your vision while in Akibara, saying : Next anime figurine shop, 15 metres away.

(ID #22861) Posted on 2008/01/23 10:57
I want one, but for the HUD. How will it tell my HP? What stats will it provide? Will it give a map? Most importantly, does it come with a cool suit and some firearms? ^.^
(ID #216505) Posted on 2008/06/19 04:29
Oooh cool...but must be a pain to look through that for long periods of time...
(ID #217886) Posted on 2008/06/20 16:48
this is close to my imagination...my contact lens would be like see through girls cloth, with zooming also watch T.V plays video from my pc, picture displaying. maybe add some night vision too! oh and heat vision for incase* :)
