How about skipping the contact lens altogether and using Lasik to etch a conductive surface like circuits onto the cornea itself. It's bio circuitry via laser lithography.
Always on augmented reality.
- ben_straub 17y agoBut unfortunately irreversible, and non-upgradeable. When things improve on a Moore's-law curve, you don't want to make a permanent commitment.
- jamesk2 17y agoHey, if Dr. Tattoff can remove tattos with a laser somebody will make rewritable lasers like DVD-RW! Maybe not infinite rewrites but it's possible. Anyone see Blade Runner? There was a chinese guy who is the eyeball making specialist. Recently I saw a story that scientists are growing livers for transplant. I'd like an eyeball upgrade. Maybe one that doesn't fatigue as easily as my default parts.
- jerf 17y agoAs much fun as it is to speculate about the ultimate invincibility of science, I would like to point out that the key to writable and re-writable CDs and DVDs is the dye, not the laser. That after all the selection pressure the eye has gone through, it also happened to be made of a re-writable dye of any sort seems rather improbable.

- jamesk2 17y agoYeah but a free adwords model would be wickedly popular. Maybe Google Augment or gAugment
