Smart contact lens from Ghent University: an artificial iris that can dynamically change your vision

<p>Could smart contact lenses grant millions the gift of sight?</p> <p>In this episode of &nbsp;TechFirst with John Koetsier with chat with Andrés Vásquez Quintero, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium, where researchers have just presented an artificial iris embedded in a smart contact lens.</p> <p>It has an artificial iris, an all-day battery, an on-board ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, and a very small LCD screen. And it can do very basic augmented reality for people with limited vision.</p> <p>PLEASE NOTE: the wifi at Ghent was not great, so Andres' audio and video is pretty sketchy.</p> <p>As always, full transcripts will be available at: https://johnkoetsier.com/category/tech-first/</p>
