Cyborg Contact Lenses

Control Your Mouse with Your Eye Movements

— January 17, 2009 — Tech
This contact lens is laced with sensors that track your eyeball movement. It communicates your eyeball's tracking info to a receiver connected to your computer, like a wireless mouse.

If you think about it, when you look at your screen, your eye must see something first before you can click on it. In other words, this should be way faster than a real mouse.

Come on, try it: Look on the left of your screen and then on the right of your screen. Your finger is naturally behind in speed. With these cyborg contact lenses, blinking your eye translates into a click. This device was originally made for disabled people, but it is super cool for anyone wanting to be like Tom Cruise in 'Mission Impossible.'
Trend Themes
1. Eye-tracking Wearables - The development of eye-tracking technology in wearable devices opens up opportunities for hands-free control and improved user experiences.
2. Human-computer Interaction - The integration of eye-tracking sensors in contact lenses provides a new dimension to human-computer interaction, enabling faster and more intuitive control.
3. Assistive Technology Advancements - The use of cyborg contact lenses as assistive technology demonstrates the potential for innovation in enhancing the quality of life for disabled individuals.
Industry Implications
1. Wearable Technology - The introduction of eye-tracking capabilities in wearable devices creates new possibilities for the wearable technology industry, enabling more seamless and efficient interactions.
2. Gaming and Entertainment - The integration of eye-tracking sensors in gaming and entertainment devices offers disruptive innovation opportunities for immersive experiences and intuitive controls.
3. Healthcare and Accessibility - The advancement of assistive technology, such as cyborg contact lenses, presents disruptive innovation potential in the healthcare and accessibility sectors, improving accessibility and independence for individuals with disabilities.
