Bionic eyes! For the first time, researchers have developed a safe contact lens that can give humans vision like Superman. The lens has an imprinted circuit and lights which would display graphics similar to the Terminator and or the eyes of Bionic Woman.

These characters have “bionic eyes to zoom in on far-off scenes, have useful facts pop into their field of view, or create virtual crosshairs,” UWNews explained. “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.”

Imagine the uses for heads up displays for every thing from flying to playing a game.
