From the BBC
A new generation of contact lenses that project images in front of the eyes is a step closer after successful animal trials, say scientists.The technology could allow wearers to read floating texts and emails or augment their sight with computer-generated images, Terminator-style.Initial safety tests in rabbits have gone well, with no obvious adverse effects, the researchers have renewed faith about the device's possibilities.
They envisage hundreds more pixels could be embedded in the flexible lens to produce complex holographic images. For example, drivers could wear them to see journey directions or their vehicle's speed projected onto the windscreen. Similarly, the lenses could take the virtual world of video gaming to a new level."
