Scientists invent micrometers-thin battery charged by saline solution that could power smart contact lenses::Scientists from NTU Singapore have developed a flexible battery as thin as a human cornea, which stores electricity when it is immersed in saline solution, and which could one day power smart contact lenses.
You only have to cry once a day to power your contact lenses!
Very cool technological achievement, but eye-batteries don’t necessarily sound all that safe, non-corrosive/toxic or not, it’s still a constant reaction to create and store electricity in a very vulnerable location.
Great. Hopefully by the time smart contact lenses come out (if ever) I’ll be dead so I don’t have to worry about another tool that can be used to spy on you for not only the government but for the large tech companies looking for the most intrusive ways to steal your info on the daily.
Would you be able to close your eyes to not see anything/ads? I don’t know much about the tech, but I would assume a light is being emitted from the contact lenses and since that’s behind your eye lids…
Of course you can close your eyes and turn off ads for as low as $19.99/mo
I have no idea but I think anything that emit light would drain the battery to quickly.
I would imagine it would more like a e-paper screen.
No doubt so we can have ads directly attached to our eyeballs.
Or, we can make an IRL ad-blocker
Can’t even close my eyes to not see ads anymore smh
I’ll take rating 3 with low light enhancement, image link, and flare compensation.
Too close to the Eye phone from Futrama. No thanks
All is fun and games until you get the blue screen of death.
Doom on lenses when?
