Cyborg Generation: It’s Not Just Siri, Prepare To Be Assimilated | Science News | Scoop.it

Babak Parviz, who is a bionanotechnology expert at the University of Washington in Seattle, reports that augmented vision is not only possible, but augmented vision contact lens prototypes are being tested at this moment. Imagine being able to get directions to the closest hospital or restaurant, or have information pushed to you as you move through a city. Imagine that since this augmented reality lens is connected to your body, it could monitor and report essential bio information to the wearer such as glucose, cholesterol or blood pressure levels. While actual commercially available augmented lenses are still a way off, there are some people who have benefited from human cybernetic interfaces.
