Heads-up displays, "super-vision," via contact lenses
Engineers at the University of Washington have managed to create a flexible, biologically safe contact lens with an imprinted electronic circuit and lights:
There are many possible uses for virtual displays. Drivers or pilots could see a vehicle’s speed projected onto the windshield. Video-game companies could use the contact lenses to completely immerse players in a virtual world without restricting their range of motion. And for communications, people on the go could surf the Internet on a midair virtual display screen that only they would be able to see.
And, the engineers note, people may find many other applications they haven’t even thought of yet. (Via EurekAlert.)
So far only rabbits have worn the prototype, with no ill effects after up to twenty minutes. The engineers plan to add wireless communication to and from the lens, along with built-on solar cells and the capability to use radio-frequency power. The prototype doesn’t light up, but a version with a basic display showing a few pixels could be operational soon.

Personal comments:
Oh god, this might just be the best thing that mankind has ever created. I you have comprehended the article fully, you would have realised that the utility of it is more than unimaginable.
Just to name you some of the things that might be possible according to the article.
1: Watch any video you want anywhere anytime. So yeah, basically, you can be happily watching your lastest whatever
(or porn) show you want to in class and look as if you are playing 100% attention to your teacher.
2: No more ugly girls on earth anymore! Yes, the best function I have yet to this of.
You can now use this gadget to create a dillusion making all girls look like Sugaya Risako!
3: Surfing the net anywhere anytime. This is pretty much like 1, no more explanation is needed.
4: As the article have mentioned, this would also be a break through for all hardcore gamers. With lenses like this, you can easily indulge in your own world of finalfantasy and friends!
Well, thats just some brief idea of what you can do with those lenses.
Theres is certainly much more to it, but I am lazy to do the thinking. You can do it.
Bye.
