There is more and more news about the development of smart contact lenses. Numerous companies and research centres seem to be working on contacts that would be more than just a means of vision correction, offering access to the internet, displaying useful information, monitoring a person’s health parameters.
Recently, Sony’s Vice President, Mike Hocking, shared his knowledge and opinions on the matter. According to him, Sony is constantly trying to find new methods of making gamers more immersed in the world of the games they play. This means getting closer to virtual reality, which is the ultimate goal for all manufacturers of gaming hardware and software.
Hocking, attending a conference in London, stated that it is possible that contact lenses offering virtual-reality experience may become available on the market in the near future. In his opinion, the most exciting things (such as contact lenses with sensors and cameras) are currently developed by R&D departments and we might see the results of the research quite soon.
