Apple iLens Concept: A computer screen embedded into a contact lens using cloud data storage (and Google's not far behind)

The technology to make contact lens based computing is possible is rapidly under development. Professor Babek Parvis, an associate professor at the University of Washington, specializes in bionanotechnology, which is the fusion of tiny technologies and biology. He has built a tiny contact lens with tiny electronics that can display pixels to a person's eye. (For more details on the technology and possible applications, see Parvis speaking in the fascinating video at the end of this post )

Visor- like design evocative
of Geordi La Forge?

Parvis is also working on "Project Glass" with Google, which tech watchers see as an indication of movement towards the eventual release of a lens concept by Google. While you're waiting for something similar to the lens concept to become available, you can some of the same benefits -if not full on computing- with Google's visor-like augmented reality glasses, which have already been street tested in San Francisco.
