#google contact lens

Google scores a patent on a "smart" contact lens system that users could control by the way they blink their eyes. The futuristic contact lenses was reported to have embedded microcameras (take note, more than one). These microcameras are impressively small that they don't affect the thickness of an ordinary contact lens. To control these contact lenses, a system will be developed that will understand the user's blinks as it corresponds to specific functions or commands. Apart from not looking like a total geek by wearing these contact lenses instead of the Google Glass, Patentbolt shares that they can be used to help people with eye problems and even save lives. "For example, a blind person wearing Google's contact lens with a built-in camera may be walking on a sidewalk and approaching an intersection. The analysis component of the contact lens can process the raw image data of the camera to determine processed image data indicating that the blind person is approaching intersection with a crosswalk and establish that there is a car approaching the intersection," Patentbolt explained.
