Is your eyesight degrading? Thanks to the inspiration of 3D TV technology and DARPA who funded this project for you!
How about contact lenses that can zoom in and out to aid your vision? It’s like a pair of basic binoculars built into your eyes. Woo!
A group of researchers — from the UC San Diego and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) — said in a report that it has built a 2.8x zoom contact lens that could eventually fit on human eyes. The group’s telescopic lens currently relies on a set of 3D glasses from a Samsung TV to activate the lens’ zooming effect. Eventually, the researchers said, they want to build a lens that wouldn’t rely on such glasses to operate. [Keep reading…]
