Samsung To Develop Contact Lens-Computer, To Compete With Google Glass

You would agree with me that the competition in the technology world today is something else, check this out , multiple research organizations, including two Samsung departments, have reportedly been developing a new nano-material which could be used to create smart contact-lenses.

Project leader Jang-Ung Park, a chemical engineer at the Ulsan National Institute, said “Our goal is to make a wearable contact-lens display that can do all the things Google Glass can do.”

The team successfully fixed a light-emitting diode onto a soft contact lens that can be purchased right off the shelf. They then attached the diode using a combination of graphene and silver nanoware. The technology was tested on rabbits, who have eyes similar to that of humans. No negative reactions were recorded.

The technology is still a long, long way from hitting the market, as only one pixel was attached to each lens— Google need not worry about any competitors in the near future, but in time, it will definitely be something they need to prepare for.
