Contact Lens Computer: Like Google Glass, without the Glasses

Soft contact lenses could display information to the wearer and provide continuous medical monitoring.

For those who find Google Glass indiscreet, electronic contact lenses that outfit the users cornea with a display may one day provide an alternative. Built by researchers at several institutions, including two research arms of Samsung, the lenses use new nanomaterials to solve some of the problems that have made contact-lens displays less than practical.
