Samsung News Blog · SamMobile posts that Samsung has applied for a patent on smart contact lenses that projects images directly into your eyes. The smart lens is a miniature display equipped with a camera, antenna, and multiple sensors, and it has a function to detect the wearer's blink. In order to operate the smart lens and project the image to the pupil, it is necessary to use an external terminal like a smartphone together.


We claim that patent documents can project more natural images than smart glasses terminals. Working with blinking is the same idea as Google Glass, but if you realize it, you will be able to display AR images in the field of view without worrying about the appearance and operate and check the information in cooperation with smartphones. However, SamMobile commented, "Contact lenses equipped with cameras will create new discussions due to privacy issues."


In addition, it is reported that Google is promoting the development of smart contact lenses from 2014. Google 's Smart Contact Lens is a product that can measure the sugar content in the blood from the components of tears simply by wearing it, and has a purpose different from Samsung' s patent and Google Glass. Many companies sometimes apply patents for prototypes at the development stage, it is not uncommon for development to fail and to not see the eyes of eternity forever. I do not know if Samsung will commercialize smart contact lenses, but it may not be so far that the world of spy movies will become a reality.
