THESE SCARY NEW CONTACT LENSES WILL MAKE 'BLACK MIRROR' A REALITY

[ReedeFox]

If you thought our future was looking terrifying before, just wait until you see what this Japanese tech company has just come up with.

Sony are currently working on the technology that will allow you to wear a contact lens that looks like it's straight out of a Black Mirror episode.
These wearable devices will actually be able to record and play video. I can’t tell if this is incredible or utterly terrifying. probably both.



The unit will include an image capture device, main control unit, storage module, antenna and piezoelectric sensor. The sensor is what will be able to tell the difference between a normal blink and a taking-photo blink. One will involve blinking slightly longer than usual and the lens will even be able to zoom and auto focus. Fuck me man, I'm scared!



Obviously there will be no batteries included, could you imagine that? The power will be transmitted wirelessly, potentially through radio waves or electromagnetic induction. It's all sounding a bit too dystopian for me and while the company haven't completely mastered the lenses yet, they will probably be available in the not too distant future.

One word from me - Nope! We are already monitored heavily by our phones and laptops, I don't need my fucking contact lenses keeping tabs on me, cheers! I might just fuck off and live in the woods!
