electricEye University of Washington.

Engineers at the UW have for the first time used manufacturing techniques at microscopic scales to combine a flexible, biologically safe contact lens with an imprinted electronic circuit and lights.

Go Huskies!

This is pretty cool...but I wore contacts for a long time and they suck!  Some people can wear them without any problems, my sister for one.  Me?...pain and suffering.

"Looking through a completed lens, you would see what the display is generating superimposed on the world outside," said Babak Parviz, a UW assistant professor of electrical engineering. "This is a very small step toward that goal, but I think it's extremely promising."

Pretty snazzy nonetheless.
