iOptik Smart Contact Lenses: Innovega Contacts

Google is developing...and already has a prototype...contact lenses that monitor and report blood glucose levels in real time. This could be a real boon to diabetics worldwide.

And pretty much put most of the companies who sell testing strips and meters out of business.

They’re all pretty incredible esp the Sigmo...

Still waiting for H. Beam Piper’s perfect lie detector - the veridicator (from “Little Fuzzy”). Would revolutionize criminal prosecution and put most current politicians on the “free agent” list.

Anyone who would believe that stuff would also believe in horseless carriages and heavier-than-air flight. Ridiculous.
