'smart contact lens' covered in the news media

Submitted by webmaster on

Over the last 8 1/2 months, our recent progress in 'smart contact lens' technology was covered in the specialized and even mainstream news media. It all started on December 5th, 2012 with a routine scientific press announcement by imec, accompanied by a live demonstration of a simple yet evocative 'contact lens display'. The lens-shaped, spherically curved display, although merely being able to switch on and off a dollar sign, is so appealing that the mainstream news agencies take over the story.
