Won't Be Long Till We Have Superman's Vision

I come to appreciate the human eye as a perceptual powerhouse only when I started using the most advanced DSLR Cameras and realise how pathetically tardy the shutter speed can be.  

I am perfectly glad with our human naked eyes and I am thinking it will be at least another hundreds of years before technology can quite catch up with us human in that front.   

The scientists aren't dumb you know.  They know technology will never make it there so they bet on something else - Bionic eyes for example - as seen in the Terminator or the Iron Man, where they can zoom in on far-off scenes, and be equipped with useful facts that pop into their field of view.

Pretty cool that was.  


Scientists are now saying it is not limiting to Sci-Fi only and super-heroes and that we too, are soon going to have a way to surf the Web on the go wearing contact lenses!  Read it here.

You've heard it right.  In the immediate future, we might be able to browse our favourite websites, watch movies and seriously augment your vision via a miniature LCD display that will sit on our eyes.

Yup.  I suppose you can look into the eyes of your boss and tell him/her you aren't watching a movie and you could be surfing the web at the same time, trying to find the funniest joke to distract him/her.  Yes.  It is possible!


Wild enough concept, or can this really be an augmented reality?
