Innovega is developing a contact lens called the iOptik lens that will provide the crucial step necessary to perceive an augmented, superimposed 3-D virtual reality.

It can also enhance your vision as you're seeing normal reality. Using nanotechnology, the contact lenses allow users to perceive both reality and information provided by the Internet or another source.

With these contact lenses, the user can view the world naturally: Their eyes can move normally and there aren't any cumbersome goggles to hinder movement or perception.

For external hardware, users are also given a pair of glasses which are used to project the extra data.

But the contact lenses are crucial here. Without them, data beamed onto the glasses is fuzzy and messy. The contact lens collates and refines the augmented info.

Cool.
