Oooh... cool.
Matter of time before we have Geordi style contact lenses. Control it with your cell phone and click through the spectrum.
Doesn’t say if it is a starlight device or if an infrared source light is needed
Sounds like a wonderful thing to have for long walks in the woods at night; anybody know if this will be as good as/better than a next-generation Night Vision Device (NVD)?
The sensor may be contact sized, but not the power supply.
It’s all fun and games until someone turns the lights on.
so, would have to be a “lens cap” on the front of a rifle scope...
Hey EoTech!
Since you’ve already got a battery in there.....
(and I’m too cheap to buy the $2K-20K versions)
"Seventh line down; F, E, L, O, P, Z, D".
Why as contact lenses? Why not just as simple, thin, light glasses, rather than the binoculars-sized sets we have today?
The application they refer to is just one of many that this will be able to be used for based on their description. This could completely change the way that all photo to data electronic transmissions are made across all spectrums and could greatly reduce size/cost of multiple optical, radiation, and/or electromagnetic detection devices. An immediate application I see would be in astrophysics to either 1) increase the sensitivity (thereby obtaining greater data for same size) or 2) reduce the size of the receiver for telescopes (both optical and radio)opening up additional remote siting options.
