Smart Contact Lenses Of The Future

Working:
That depends on what kind of lenses you are talking about. Essentially, smart
lenses use technology to give you benefits that go beyond just seeing clearly.
Smart lens technology in the future could let you take photographs with your
eyes or monitor your blood glucose levels.

Inspired From: A professor of engineering at Wisconsin University. Jiang was

inspired by the elephant nose fish and its unusual eye shape. The elephant
nose fish is native to Africa and has uniquely shaped eyes to help them see
clearly in the dark and muddy water.

Drug Delivery: These smart contact lenses can deliver medicine to the eye
gradually over time. As well as improved application compared to eye drops,
this method improves the speed and the amount of medicine that is
distributed to the eye with little to no side effects.

Thermal Vision: This technology would allow soldiers to see better at night,
allowing them to sense humans, animals and devices like mobile phones
through the heat they produce.

Telescopic Lenses: Contact lenses that can zoom your vision in and out like a
telescope. These lenses have fitted mirrors in the central part of the lens, with
the use of 3D glasses, the contact lens wearer can zoom in and out of their
surroundings with ease.This would be especially useful for people with age-
related Macular degeneration (AMD).
Tech: lenses would be powered by sensors that convert power from your eye
movement and storage would be kept directly on the lens.

Ergonomic:
 Lens appearance is semi-circle
 like eye ball
 Use simple light colour

SkinTrack Technology Turns into Smartwatch

Touchpad

Working:
A smartwatch screen just isn’t big enough to allow many interactions. You have
room to tap or swipe the screen, but that’s pretty much it. SkinTrack is a new
technology developed by the Human-Computer Interaction Institute’s Future
Interfaces Group, which expands your smartwatch’s “touchscreen” over your
entire hand and arm–just by wearing a specially designed ring.
Imagine using your palm to make a call on your Apple Watch by hovering a
finger over your hand, acting as a cursor on a dial pad. SkinTrack could even be
used to allow you to play more sophisticated video games on your wearable,
by enabling a far broader library of gestures to control what’s happening on
that postage stamp-sized screen.

Researchers have developed a ring which creates a high-frequency electrical

signal. When the user touches the skin, signals are generated through the skin.
It is possible to locate the electromagnetic waves source by using electrodes
equipped into watch’s band. This electrode can identify phase differences that
can determine the finger’s position along with the arm. The user needs to wear
that ring in the index finger.

Ergonomic:
 Touch screen
 Wrist band to wear
 black colour
 specially designed ring
 which have sensor on it

Interaction Style:
Dimensional Interfaces:
Example: City Racing 3d game’s interface is 3 dimensional.
Improve: I can add voice for turn left right.

Natural Language:
Example: Amazon Alexa voice
Improve: I can add different accent styles or different languages to improve
Alexa

Query / Question-Answer Interfaces:

Example: Mobile settings when start new mobile
Improve: I can add voice to communicate with people so that it’s easy to
perform settings of mobile

WIMP Interfaces:
Example: Microsoft Excel has window, icon, menu and pointer
Improve: Add voice for typing or make excel sheets, also add different styling
combinations. So that after click 1st style you can change your colour, font
style, font size etc.
