Defense researchers have designed a contact lens that superimposes 3-D virtual reality directly onto your eye. The iOptiks can enhance vision too, if you’re not blessed with 20/20 sight.
DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is the cool research arm of the DoD. It’s known as being the department of mad scientists that develop technology worthy of futuresque sci-fi movies.
Partnered with virtual eyewear company Innovega, the contact lenses have fascinating potential for battlefield operations.
Troops won’t have to rely on bulky helmet mounts, but instead can have high-resolution images and a very wide field of view projected onto a wearable lens.
