digital camera contact lens

It seems that every morning I wake up with a crazy new camera idea. I was lying in bed looking at the texture of my pillow when I noticed the lints sticking up out of it, like a lint forest. At that moment, I wished I had a digital camera built into my eye, so that I can snap a picture of it.

That led me to think about the possibility of a contact lens with a built-in digital camera. With all these advancements in contact lens technology lates, such as one permanently embedded in the eye, potential use seems to be paramount.

Digital camera contact lens . . . Possible?

I had a thought very much like that! What about a digital video camera?

Christine, it seems like your wish is getting closer to coming true. I just read a news story today about a Deja View Camwear Model 100 that can be attached to a pair of glasses. The camera records and caches the last 30 seconds of video. When something interesting occurs, a push of a button stores the 30 second cache onto a Secure Digital media card . . .

Yup, Same here thought about a digital camera in the eye for awhile now, havent heard anything about it yet but sounds like we are getting closer and closer everyday to that reality. Sounds like a Japanese company has made a microchip the size of a grain of sand.

That is really small . . . Which microchip is that?

IS THERE CONTACTS YOU CAN WEAR THAT HAVE BUILT IN CAMERA OR TRANSMITTER

nanotechnological advances certainly indicate the possibility of these devices

The idea of camera contact lenses is mentioned in the book series: Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

does anyone know if a camera or video camera contact lense is getting close to being produced if it already is? Seems like an awesome idea.

if this happens we'll have a mechanism as mentioned in the movie Strange Days [1995] :-SQUID .

I remember seeing "Strange Days". It's a good movie. I just can't remember what it's about any more. :-P

there is an idea there. but keep on with that and make attempts and not possibilities happen!

on a side note: Watching the Movie "I Spy" w/ Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy with their
"live feed camcorder lens with a watch receiver to activate and store it...
Sort of like that or something

they have come up with the ability to start your car with a watch
why not be able to record video and store it, Huh?

please send all regards or comments to my Email [email protected]

Thank you!

contact-lens cameras could probably use nanotechnolgy.it could be powered by the light(photovoltaically?) entering the eye itself and then transmit the images to a memory dev. in your pocket.

Contact lens with digital camera may be coming soon with advances in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). This MEMS Putting Smart Phones Into Motion article show cases a contact lens that has MEMS circuits (see photo below).


Sensimed's Triggerfish product, using MEMS from STMicroelectronics, is a contact lens that tests for glaucoma.

Yes, this would be so useful. All they have to do is put the lens in the contact, and make a wireless transmitter, to send the information to a cellphone in someones pocket, or something.

Im so happy i found this. This concept has been on my mind for a long time.

i actually came up with this idea years ago and would love to see it made, it would be beneficial in many ways, a few examples,film industry, military/spy, police force, you could even go as far as to use it in things like driving tests so you could see exactly where the client was looking and mark his awareness. failing that who wouldn't love to see a day through the eyes of someone else, it would be awesome.

It took eight years... and we are not quite there with the contact lens. But now you can get sunglasses with cameras in them. It's getting closer and closer to our eyes. Here are two examples of sunglasses cam you can buy retail:

Terrible idea. I've been experiencing gross invasion by my ex that I believe these camera lens are in my eyes and he's selling images online. I've had no privacy, and he watches me use the bathroom, have sex, and I can hear his voice in whispers. I know he's watching me because I can hear his response to everything I do! I thought I was crazy, but THIS IS REAL. The system allows my thoughts to be read as well. I need help I can trust to get my eyes checked. This has been happening since last year and I believe he somehow got a pair, premature to this application patent. HELP. SF
