Those components will eventually include hundreds of LEDs, which will form images in front of the eye, such as words, charts, and photographs. Much of the hardware is semitransparent so that wearers can navigate their surroundings without crashing into them or becoming disoriented. In all likelihood, a separate, portable device will relay displayable information to the lens’s control circuit, which will operate the optoelectronics in the lens.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.smartplanet.com/business/blog/smart-takes/with-electronic-contact-lenses-bionic-eyesight-could-become-reality/566/?tag=content;col1"><P><A href="http://i.bnet.com/blogs/829135.jpg"><IMG width="200" alt="" src="http://i.bnet.com/blogs/829135.jpg" title="829135" class="size-full wp-image-570 alignright" /></A>The potential for the development is far-reaching, from healthcare (noninvasive health indicators, such as reporting blood sugar levels for diabetic users) to computer gaming, translation to navigation.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.smartplanet.com/business/blog/smart-takes/with-electronic-contact-lenses-bionic-eyesight-could-become-reality/566/?tag=content;col1"><P>Even the Internet is possible, Parviz writes:</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.smartplanet.com/business/blog/smart-takes/with-electronic-contact-lenses-bionic-eyesight-could-become-reality/566/?tag=content;col1"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.smartplanet.com/img/357D1E67-39AF-401A-B82E-738D740406DF" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/561D255C-2BDA-4B59-BCDE-FF8B64EEA286/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
