Augmented Reality thoughts
January 23, 2008
Glasses wont be involved… but how about contact lenses. It seems that this is the only way I can get round having a chip implanted into the brain, Ghost in the Shell rules!!! but according to the lecturer this has been done before?!?!?!
Anywho, I have been doing some research into the possibilities of having a bionic contact lense, but first my research stems from this handy article…
“The UW engineers used microscopic scale manufacturing techniques to create a flexible, biologically safe contact lens with imprinted electronic circuits and lights. If used by human beings, a pair of contact lenses with circuits and lights would be the perfect display for augmented reality systems.” – the full article is viewable at: http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News.asp?NewsNum=1409
I have scribbled down some possibilities for the Bionic contact lense:
Car - speedometer and other helpful information is viewable.
Mobile phone display – Caller ID appears, video chat.
Video chat on msn – like ghost in the shell.
Gaming capabilities – submersive world.
Photographic/surveillance – zooming, clarity.
