What are they and how exactly do they work?
Smart contact lenses with a built-in camera are Google's latest creation that could help people with vision problems.
Following Google's smart glasses, come contact lenses equipped with the latest technology. They feature a built-in camera and wireless connectivity that allows users to focus on objects. The contact lenses, which will be able to superzoom objects, will essentially have the Google smart glasses system built into them.
The smart contact lens will have wireless capabilities that allow the user to connect to a smartphone in order to process information and give voice commands to the user.
According to Google, the system will also be able to detect faces and can help people with vision loss recognize faces.
How does Google's smart contact lens work?
Google's contact lenses consist of a camera and an image sensor. The system can connect wirelessly to a mobile phone, access data, and provide audio feedback to the user. For the blind, these contact lenses can become their... eyes.
"For example, a blind person wearing Google's contact lenses with a built-in camera will be able to walk on a sidewalk and be notified that they are approaching an intersection," the company says.
