Short Bytes: Scientists at the University of South Australia’s Future Industries Institute have used a polymer film coating that can conduct electricity. This electricity-conducting polymer film can make it possible to build a very small electric circuits on the lens, which would allow it to double up as a screen. This contact lens can also be used in Google Glass.

scientists at the University of South Australia’s Future Industries
Institute have used a polymer film coating that can conduct electricity.
This technological breakthrough came after a research work of almost
two years and around a decade of deep research as per the Physics
associate professor Drew Evans who describes this technology as
a game-changing technology.This eye lens which can conduct electricity
and hence can also support a screen on the lens has been named as
Optic-mistic.
— associate professor Drew Evans said.The mention of glucose
monitoring in blood in creating electronic displays has caught another
attention in the market over the Alphabet which has also been working on
a lens designed exactly for that. Verily is carrying out the research and production works for the Alphabet’s such lenses.
Verily was formerly known as Google Life Sciences. But it is apparent that Verily might not provide any wider functionality beyond tracking glucose levels.
However, the breakthrough in the contact lenses by Future Industries Institute could very well pave a way for putting Google Glass technology right into our eyes.

“We’re talking about anything
from a simple sensor that can measure the amount of glucose in your
blood through to actually creating electronic displays. so, rather than
having something like a pair of glasses that’s acting like a computer,
you can actually generate images directly on your contact lens.”
