I would much rather have that in a pair of lightweight glasses than contacts. Put the Zoom button on the glasses arm near the temple, and Go-Go Gadget binoculars
Well now I want to know more about it!
The short version is they have developed a soft robot that can contract to increase the focal point (aka “zoom”) on a lens, and they can control it with eye movements. An actual zoom contact is not available yet, and would probably require another decade of testing and prototyping before a consumer-grade model is available at a reasonable price point.
That makes sense.
Thanks.
:goes back to pushing Shadowrun books around:
acog lenses
Reminds me of deus ex: mankind divided
This meme is like 10 years old.
And we still don’t have zoomable contacts.
Cqn I only see your penis though? It might get in the way of day to day activities…
That would be insanely handy in surgery. 99% of inner ear instruments look identical at first glance, but have different shaped tips that are plenty distinct under the microscope. Setting up for that shit is a pure guessing game if you have bad eyes.
And vascular… loading and keeping track of 150 suture needles that are 1/5 the size of an eyelash… yeah…
I sometimes wonder if the other approach is possible: Enhance our possibilities to see and process much more detail with our brains.
I know some people have better vision than regular people and I always wondered how does that even work.
It appears to use tonal architecture…
