Taking an unbelievably low 24th place on TIME magazine's Best Inventions of 2008, Bionic Contacts have totally blown me away.
Created by Univ. of Washington's Babak Parviz, these contact lenses are designed to project a visual display into the wearer's field of vision. Other applications include night vision, augmented/virtual reality, and high power zoom. Powered by a tiny solar cell (also in your eye), and fed via radio frequency, the possibilities for this technology are endless, and quite scary. What's next? Video capture (see eyeborg)? X-Ray vision? Bring it on Mr. Parviz, and try to price these sweet babies under $100, would you please?
