Electronic Contact Lenses

I don't want to live forever, I just want to live long enough. Long enough for technology like these contact lenses to become commonplace. Engineers at the University of Washington have for the first time used manufacturing techniques at microscopic scales to combine a biologically safe contact lens with an imprinted electronic circuit and lights. Researchers built the circuits from layers of metal only a few nanometers thick and constructed light-emitting diodes one third of a millimeter across. There are many possible uses for virtual displays. Drivers or pilots could see a vehicle's speed projected onto the windshield. Video-game companies could use the contact lenses to completely immerse players in a virtual world without restricting their range of motion. And for communications, people on the go could surf the Internet on a midair virtual display screen that only they would be able to see. I'm ready to toss out my Accuvue lenses for a pair of these
