Samsung Granted Patent for Camera Contact Lenses (Wochit)
Contact lenses that contain a built-in camera, sensors and a display that can project images directly into wearer’s eyes have been conceived by Samsung.

According to the 29-page application, the image quality of smart glasses is limited and they do not provide a natural interface.
The smart contact lens can be controlled using eye movements and blinking, potentially allowing users to take photos with the miniature camera simply by winking or blinking. An antenna would then transmit the image to a companion device, such as a smartphone or tablet.
