Anyone who takes this to mean that "in the next ten years, it will be possible to produce a contact lens that has a camera and a powered display capable of any resolution that involves like triple-digits pixels in the horizontal and vertical, and, god forfend, an actual battery for both, for any price including $50M per lens," is dreaming.
- godzillabrennus 11y agoThat's right. Apple will make the first popular one and it'll cost $500 a pair, and require an upgrade each year.
- extrapickles 11y agoIf it was $500/year, I would get them in a heartbeat as contacts currently cost $150-300/year, depending on fanciness (monthly/weekly/daily replacement, coatings, etc)
- themartorana 11y agoYup. I was just thinking how inexpensive $500 sounded. Will they work with hydrogen peroxide based solution or do I need to upgrade?
- PhasmaFelis 11y ago$500 for a pair of contacts that only need replacing once a year? I'd buy that even without the camera.
- guimarin 11y agoI think you mean soft contacts. You can buy hard contacts that last a year right now.
- themartorana 11y agoUm... There are year-long-wear soft contacts for well below $500.
- simonebrunozzi 11y agoAnd will have a proprietary USB type E connector. Or something like that.
- dec0dedab0de 11y agowell if they don't get it in 20 years, doesn't the patent expire?
