IWOOT! Google Contact Lenses

Almost exactly a year ago I was writing about the development of Google Glass here at DaniWeb. In the meantime, the project has turned into a reality and actual product has got into the hands of reviewers and some lucky users with $1,500 to spare. This would all be much more exciting for me were it not for the fact that my vision is severely impaired thanks to suffering from Wet Macular Degeneration in one eye (hence the patch) and the other being very lazy indeed. I get by with the use of a contact lens and high magnification reading glasses, along with other tools and tech to help me at work. I was interested to read, therefore, about the possibility of a prescription version of the Google Glass technology as reported by Engadget earlier this year. Now news is breaking of researchers who are intent on producing the same type of Google Glass tech but in a contact lens.
