Default Finally, my augmented reality contact lenses are here!!

Or at least are closer to being here:

http://wireless.ee.washington.edu/pa...yb_Dec2010.pdf

Translation for tl;dr: They created a contact lens with an embedded LED and a wireless antenna that was all powered via a capacitor that's charged via RF.

Considering the size and that LEDs are made of some pretty hazardous materials, this is impressive.

Augmented reality will be here soon.

I thought the thread title was a thinly veiled attempt at starting a Deus Ex thread!

Cool paper, browsed through the empirical stuff though.

When we can trap Photon in a magnetic field and manipulate him.

Trap? Just put an internet connection there and I won't leave.
