LED Lights Make Augmented Vision a Reality | Elemental LEDucation
Okay, this is just freaky. We know LED lights are versatile enough to be used for practically anything, but LED contact lenses?Contact lenses with circuits, lights a possible platform for superhuman vision

Off the screen, virtual displays have been proposed for more practical purposes – visual aids to help vision-impaired people, holographic driving control panels and even as a way to surf the Web on the go. The device to make this happen may be familiar.
Another way to make sharp images is to use a scanning microlaser or an array of microlasers. Laser beams diverge much less than LED light does, so they would produce a sharper image. A kind of actuated mirror would scan the beams from a red, a green, and a blue laser to generate an image.
Augmented Reality in a Contact Lens
