No. Nothing against these, I think they're beyond cool. I just never liked the idea of putting things in my eyes. I'll probably be a glasses user once AR glasses become a fully fledged thing.
I love how every single piece of new* questionable tech that comes out, the company talks about how it'll be used to help society, when in reality, it'll mostly be used to serve you ads even if you pay for it directly.
Hehe, what we need to do is hack the lenses so that any ads in the real world just appear like a sign that says "Have a great day". Can't serve us ads if they never get to our eye.
Same, our screen technology is years away from any decent “pass through” AR glass because outside brightness blows out any screen that size and of that power consumption. Also how are they powering this lmao…
My brother is an FDA liaison for medical device start ups. Twenty years ago he worked at one called Intacks (Cornial ring implants). The tech is great. It fixed folks vision, and the surgery was simple. The company lost out to laser eye surgery (since both the cost and barrier to entry was low). The tech is still superior because the rings and be changed vs. laser surgery in which you only have one pass, and it does have issues. Intacks is still around, but it's mostly used once folks go in for Glaucoma surgery (or fighter pilots - yes they are Air Forced approved). On a sidebar, I find it funny that the CEO in this clip is wearing his glasses vs. using his companies tech...
It isn't real tech. All they did was embed some circuit wires in a contact lens. It's like bolting wheels on a pole and telling you the price of the flying car it'll someday be.

It's funny how glasses/contacts who's sole purpose is to correct vision is now being used by people who have perfect vision for entertainment purposes,on one end you have glasses helping people with their vision and on the other side you have people basically ruining it or possibly loss of vision in the long term use
Good to know that such a product is on the way, but a very fundamental question is not answered in this video: "What is the power source for that contact lense?"
sounds like vaporware at this point. They showed simulations of how it might look in the future, but they didn't show anyone who was actually wearing them now describing what they really saw and experienced. I don't see how they can do augmented graphical reality unless they have cameras and lots of other sensors built into those disposable lens'.
I saw the thumbnail image before and I thought the video was just clickbait (because I never saw a video showing that such technology exists) but I think I can finally say it's real...
These might be fun to try, like VR headsets. But I don't know it would be something I'd wear all the time. I'm already bombarded with constant visual input all day long, not sure I'm interested in adding more to my already overtaxed brain.
I would be game as I wear contacts. I would think these wouldn't have to be a every day thing when you are just chilling. For work or when you are going somewhere these would be cool.
I could see these being used with AR glasses to make the whole experience far better. You can definitely tell that there are limitations to both, but if you combine them you could have something that really works.
No way are we going to see high resolution images, with head tracking, in a tiny transparent disposable device anytime soon. How would these even work? Where is the battery?
Friday, August 5, 2022 CE, 23:05 EST They need optical phased array cameras, thermoelectric generators, night vision, gesture tracking (preferably of fingers, without requiring one to look at them), and (contact) graphene speakers/microphones I say this because... the idea of these lenses replacing my Galaxy A52 5G (with PentiKeyboard an Classicboy Gestures) might be a stretch right now- I don't have a desktop, laptop, tablet, or TV
A pro tip :- apple uses sandwich board which compacts the size of tech ,we can use the same tech with low capacity processor and coil and cloud computing to make AR GLASSES MUCH COMPACT they will use atmospheric charge to do so😎
This combined with the glasses is probably the best bet for good AR. The space between contacts and glasses providing depth of feild and higher resolution and telescopic capabilities.
Realistically If you can make a lense that can zoom in/out on things, show maps/directions, web browsers, play videos and show speeds/temperature then we’re talking. And you should be able to control it with hand gestures not a phone.
@@KentPetersonmoney that's where neural link will come into play (Elon Musk's company). But frankly, I'm not sure of how I feel about any of this and agree with you too @KazeNino about not wanting anything in my head.
Before I'd be willing to try it, I'd need to see practical use cases that would make it worth wearing contacts, and spending money on. I think AR contacts vs AR glasses will come down to graphics quality and functionality. Whichever one is better in those areas is the one I will go with. The biggest advantage for the contacts seems to be the ability to adjust your close/far away vision on the fly.
I think if used as an information forum, and worked a little like a HUD as described, I would 100% use it, but if it comes down to an augmented reality product, or something that changes or alters your vision or perception of reality, I would stay well away from it.
once these are more for the general consumer, instead of used in the medical field primarily, i would love to try them myself would be interesting to see what they could do
Hmm .... I'll believe it when I actually see it on the market. Getting tired of companies promising the same things and never shipping. Or when they do ship you find out they grossly over promised on what you actually end up with.
@@gamershadow8 never heard of log horizon but i will watch it now since it does peak my interest. But no nothing like that yet.

Simpsons been predicting things that been comming true alot. So more of like that. Maybe 20 years? I woulnt mind the option to feel pain in VR but nothing in real life. Want it to feel real if im in Quest in a Skyrim world and i get shot in the knee lol.
I'm fine with ar I want to know how it's powered? How it connects to my device? What the user interface is like. In the end this will rise or fail by the same measures as any other technology. How useful it is versus cost & ease of use.
This could be useful if you could record your experiences. If you get falsely accused or caught in an insurance scam you can record even without your phone, or if you don’t have it out at the right time. Or call sos if you get kidnapped and can’t use your phone.
I remember when my Google Glass did / does this. Also remember people going crazy thinking they were being video recorded just when your around with them on.
I’m waiting for them do this for my glasses, I want transparent led glasses with a heads up display like in iron man. I don’t like the glasses that have projectors on them
Yes, please. Much prefer being able to easily remove any display from my vision, and glasses allow for this, while taking out contact lenses is a non-trivial task and requires clean hands.
@@dosadoodle I mean it doesn’t seem hard to do given the tech that is out now. I’ve seen the transparent led glass, plus putting slim batteries in the temples frame and the electronics in between the glasses where it sits in the nose or in the frame.. Bluetooth and when you fold them you can charged them wirelessly like the Apple Pencil. I’m sure if someone actually took this idea they could do it.
After having cataract surgery following a detached retina, I found that while my vision is sharp each eye sees a different size image. I would be interested if I could fine-tune the size of the image so that each Eye would see the same size image. Perhaps a different use of this tech.
Price point could be an issue as contacts can rip quite easily so if you're having to replace them it could get costly. I like the idea, but it'll be interesting how it integrates into our lives. I think the glasses will initially be a bigger hit and then the lenses will start taking over down the line.
The need for replacement might be an issue. If they are ever meant to come with truly high resolution and quality, they could be quite costly and high-tech. I don't quite see it as great to have to buy such technology as often. Perhaps the company would let you subscribe to a few years plan for which you could get few new pairs every month and it being the newer models each time. Also it being disposable electronics could be very bad for environment. But perhaps good for greedy companies. We used to complain that our phones are costly to repair and can not be dismantled for parts and upgraded and instead having to buy new phone every few years. With disposable contact lens we would throw out high tech every one a while. I would hope they would at least collect the old products for recycling when you get new one. On the other hand I find smart contact lenses as way more practical then smart glasses since I simply don't find glasses a practical thing if you don't need them for reading. Also I think that for smart contact lenses should be combined with a kind of invisible micro earphones. I mean normal earbuds or big headphones would still be better for music and good quality sound but those tiny microearbuds could be placed in ear for long time without it being uncomfortable and blocking normal hearing.
I love the idea. It would be nice to have a regular check up of how your eyes are doing that goes along with the purchase. And maybe a possible device that a person can purchase that can read out your eyes. If at all possible.
Pair these AR contacts with a 100x Zoom Galaxy S22 and OnePlus' cam filter that lets you see through certain objects, BOOM!!! You have a man made Byakugan.

These contacts would be good for GPS. This way you could see an arrow showing you were to go on the highway.
or a line that can guide you and give you traffic updates
Agreed
Good to know that such a product is on the way, but a very fundamental question is not answered in this video: "What is the power source for that contact lense?"
Many of these wearables/implants are so efficient they can be powered by the body heat of the user. Not to say these are, but the tech is feasible.
There are tiny batteries on yhe lens!
I’ve worn contacts for decades, so very used to them. I’d be very interested in trying these electronic contact lenses out.
yeah me2 id be willing to try it out i been using lense for 8years everyday
seems good but hope electric part won't breake lenses and hurt eyes.
