Samsung just patented smart contact lenses with a built-in camera




Samsung just took another step into science fiction. South Korea has just granted the tech giant a patent for contact lenses with a display that can project images straight into the user's eye. The news comes from a Samsung-centric blog SamMobile.

The lenses are equipped with a built-in camera and sensors that can be controlled simply by blinking. Content is sent to your smartphone through embedded antennas. This is where the data is processed.

It seems that Samsung is developing the smart contact lenses as an alternative to creating improved augmented reality experiences over the current crop of wearables, reports SamMobile.

With contact lenses instead of glasses, users will be able to enjoy augmented reality content more discreetly.

Amaze Your Friends With X-Ray Glasses! - The Flametrick Subs

Well heavens Betsy and goodness knows
My, I can see right through your clothes
I see it all, far and wide
The front, the back and the other side
Cover it up but you can't hide
These things I see can't be denied

I put these glasses on my nose
And everything becomes exposed
You ask me "What's inside a girl?"
Beneath the ribbons, bows and curls
Underneath the perfume and the pearls
With these things on the truth unfurls

Chorus:
Well you got somethin' I gotta see
But you keep it from my sight
You keep it so secluded and wrapped up so tight
I bought some X-ray glasses from a comic book
Now whether you like it or you don't
I'm gonna have a look

It used to be a mystery
Confused by things I couldn't see
But now the world's a different place
With these x-ray glasses on my face
With these things on I will discover
All the things you try to cover

is that there isn't a girl alive who would be caught dead within a hundred feet of some guy wearing them.



Notice the description says, "Is that really his body that you see under his clothes?", while the image is of a guy ogling a sexy girl.
