A REAL Terminator Eye? Sweet!

Scientists have developed a prototype contact lens that could one day provide us with texts, emails, even the news! It would simply appear in front of our eyes, generated by a computerised contact lens.

It could also be used to display directions and TV programmes.

The lenses, which would be inserted and removed like normal contacts, could also be handy if you are outdoors, allowing you to zoom in on distant views. (Which could also be creepy in my opinion.)

The thought of all this info right infront of our eyes makes me wonder how our brains would handle it, but researchers insist all the components are tiny and the normal field of vision will not be obstructed.

Just a few questions from me:
How do you turn it off and on? Will it be 3D (and possibly cause dizziness and other side-effects people get from 3D)? How will police be able to monitor this for drivers?

Plus! A bionic eye that could restore the sight to the blind is being tested on Britons. Small-scale trials on the Continent have already produced ‘quite astonishing’ results. The tiny implantable microchip allowed men and women who thought they would never be able to see again to read a clock and identify everyday objects. Nifty!
