In the prospect, we could all be wearing smart contact lenses, like the ones secret agents use in movies.Samsung has been decided a obvious in South Korea for contact lenses with a display that projects images directly into wearer’s eyes, rendering to the Samsung-focused blog SamMobile. A built-in camera and sensors are skillful by blinking.
Fixed antennas then beam content to an external smartphone-like device for processing.Conferring to SamMobile’s report, Samsung started developing smart contact lenses as a means to create a better amplified reality experience than the ones that exist through Google Glass-like wearables. Smart contact lenses would allow AR to be projected right into a person’s eyes and be more unseen at the same time.
The blinking input isn’t completely out of the territory of possibility. There was a feature in Google Glass that let users take pictures with a wink. Although, a more practical feature might be to use a smartphone as a touchpad to move around the interface.Samsung’s not the only one involved in making smart contact lenses a reality.
Google owns two patents for smart contact lenses with flexible electronics and sensors that read the chemicals in the tear fluid of the wearer’s eyes to control if their blood sugar levels have fallen to deadly levels.Stimulatingly enough, Samsung applied for its smart contacts patent in 2014, the same year Google received patents in the U.S. for its smart associates.
Yet Samsung’s been granted the patent, it’s not definitive proof that the company will release a customer product off it. Companies regularly file patents for inventions they’re prototyping and developing that many never see the light of day.
