Just like an 1080p 5 inch screen would give you eye cancer, huh. Oh wendy, you come up with the random-est comments ever.

Would totally be cool if this lens tech was proven safe and lasted all day or longer. Until then I'd be happy with Google Glass...not keen on anything touching my eyes just yet.

Thumbs down on this one.

Let me just say that this was quite possibly the most ignorant comment Ive read so far in my short PA time. That is like a new Wonderbra coming out with enhanced boob lifting technology and people saying "no thanks it will give me breast cancer." No research done or anything...what?! And if you were just trying to start something in the comments section then it was pretty lame. Nothing personal just overall bad comment.

With that said, I look forward to this technology on all levels. I can totally see this being beneficial. Text messages, calls, Xbox integration just to name a few. These contacts will probably be very expensive when they come out but I for one will check them out. Not to mention they will make me feel like the T1000 Terminator muahahaha!

You crack me up, Wendy. I laughed for about 5 minutes after I read that.

These kind of lenses are in use already by the government. And not only them, if you got money you can get them.

You have to be one of the most successful trolls EVER.

I was thinking the same thing!! It's a cool concept, but it may be some time away before seeing something like this actually in the market place.

I use contacts, as long as you keep them clean and make sure your eyes are properly hydrated you'll be fine.... whiners....

lol you dont have to "refocus away". Just like in glasses, the actual glass is really close to the eye but the image formed is far. Which is why the text will look like it is a feet away or two, depending on how far they want it to be.

42. troutsy posted on 10 Dec 2012, 07:37 0 0

I don't think that is right at all. The actual image is generally "far" away from your eyes. The lenses are close to your eyes, but they simply adjust how the virtual image is being projected onto your retina.

I think it's like the Batman symbol floodlight (but in reverse); you can't just stick a Batman sticker on a flashlight and point it at the wall.

IMO, the only viable applications for this are to adjust how your eyes appear to other people.

This was being developed long before the movie came out.

Speaking of which... MicroSystems better haul a$$ to the patent office before Apple gets there and claims that this was their original invention!
