In a Blink: Sony’s Contact Lens Records Video
Blink and you could be recording video. Sony has designed a wearable contact lens that can take photos and video — and it has been sitting in the U.S. patent office for three years. The media (yes, all of us) missed the filing. Sony filed a patent in the U.S. in May of 2013 for a smart contact lens and it’s here.
Let’s hope they call it a Sony “Watchman” when they do release this product.
The device takes both photos and video on its own– no need to tether to a smart device. The camera has autofocus, automatic exposure and an adjustable zoom (no, don’t ask us how). It uses an organic electroluminescence display screen, and we guess it’s the curveable type.
