Scientists at Washington University are a step closer to bringing us all some sweet information displaying contact lenses. The team has been successfully testing prototype lenses on rabbits – though there are some major caveats here. First, due to limits of circuitry, they can only display a single light-emitting diode at a time. Also, the scientists have yet to figure out a workable energy source – at present, they need to be within centimeters of a wireless battery. The researchers have big plans, however, including the display of holographic images – and, no doubt, information about which targets to destroy.Scientists testing HUD contact lenses on rabbits, hope to bring augmented reality to your eyeballs originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 23 Nov 2011 05:08:00 EDT.
