At the end of 20 12, Google submitted a patent application, the content of which was only recently made public. The patent mainly describes a pair of contact lenses, which is the latest product of West Germany last month, with a value of 1 1 ten thousand dollars. At present, its application is mainly to assist the visually impaired.

According to the content of the patent, a set of miniature photographic chips and some sensing elements are embedded in the lens, which can sense light, color, movement or other specific objects, and can also detect the blinking action of the wearer and then convert it into operation instructions; In practice, when someone greets the wearer's face or the wearer walks on a busy road, the contact lens will immediately connect to the smart phone to send a warning or remind the user when it is safe to move on.

However, it seems that it is still in the conceptual stage. If you have the opportunity to develop products that ordinary consumers can use in the future, you may not be attacked when you walk on the road.
