Your Halo3 games will never be the same anymore if you use these super hi-tech deluxe contact lens displays. It’s in fact a virtual display, beamed directly to your eyeballs, which will most certainly improve your ‘in-game’ experience.

“The lenses, developed at the University of Washington, may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but tests have already been carried out on some unfortunate rabbits like the one in the photo.” says UK mag Tech

When perfected for human use, the lenses could bring anything from immersive video gaming to multi-purpose screens that deliver data from all our electronic devices, including phones and computers. Although that sounds truly innovative, it’s best not to be driving a car or shopping at the super market whilst playing shoot’em up games. People might be looking very weird in your general direction.

Don’t expect this thing to show up soon at your local store though, because the prototype has just been tested. The current simple lenses contain circuitry and tiny red LEDs that form a rudimentary display, although the issue of delivering the power to illuminate them has not yet been solved. That’s likely to come from radio-frequency power and solar cells on the outside of the lens, says Tech. Anyways, this sure is a pretty fresh take on the virtual things, and it opens up the doors to a splendid new experience. It certainly is a welcome change for those unsexy goggles you have to put on today.
