Posting from Las Vegas: Augmented reality has made progress on smartphones, with apps letting people layer information and graphics over a view of the real world. A startup from the Seattle region is looking to take the next step toward an AR future with You. Betcha want robot eyes. Everyone wants robot eyes. You can shoot lasers from robot eyes. Of course, no-one has managed to create fully functioning Terminator eyes for us plebs yet, but a report suggests that it might not be that far away. Researchers The human eye is a perceptual powerhouse. It can see millions of colors, adjust easily to shifting light conditions, and transmit information to the brain at a rate exceeding that of a high-speed Internet connection. But why stop there? In the Terminator At the CES exhibition in Las Vegas Innovega has been showing its first prototypes of iOptik, an augmented reality system which projects a display onto contact lenses, similar to Google Glass.

Or maybe you've walked down the street with a smartphone at eye-level, watching as it showed you the names and types of businesses in your field of vision Google Glass and other designs of the sort are really a popular piece of technology. There are many things that can be done with such a device and as technology continues to evolve, so will their design. There is the possibility that this technology will .

Forget Google Glass — connected eyewear is about to get a serious adrenaline shot next week when Bellevue, Washington-based Innovega shows off augmented reality contact lenses during this year’s International Consumer Electronics Show.

Previously we reported about lenses that can be used to secrete medication into wearers, and now some scientists have figured out a new way to make use of them. In the recent IEEE Spectrum, Babak A. Parviz discusses advances in miniaturization and contact lenses that could yield Augmented Reality-enabled contacts, powered wirelessly, that can overlay directly over the user’s field of view. Conventional contact .
