Computerized eye lens(Bionic)

Hi there,
we all know about the medical lens that’s used to correct the vision, but lately there were some studies on other useful stuff lens can do.
in movies we often see lots of those fiction goggles or lens that dose lots of cool stuff like zooming in and out, verifying the person, estimating the distance…… etc.
but do they really exist ?
in 2008 a team from university of Washington began a research on that matter, and they created a prototype of the Bionic lens.

The prototype device contains an electric circuit as well as red light-emitting diodes for a display, though it does not yet light up. The lenses were tested on rabbits for up to 20 minutes and the animals showed no adverse effects.

“Ideally, installing or removing the bionic eye would be as easy as popping a contact lens in or out, and once installed the wearer would barely know the gadget was there” said Parviz ,a UW assistant professor of electrical engineering.

There are many possible uses for virtual displays. Drivers or pilots could see a vehicle’s speed projected onto the windshield. Continues  monitoring the health of the body . Video-game companies could use the contact lenses to completely immerse players in a virtual world without restricting their range of motion. And for communications, people on the go could surf the Internet on a midair virtual display screen that only they would be able to see.

the Bionic lens are used for the blind people,it lets them see again in black and white, but with further research everything is possible.

one of the problems the research team is facing is how to transmit power witlessly to the lens, once the problems are solved the lens will provide a super human vision for the one who is wearing it . 
here is a photo of the lens:

have a nice day
