Could smart contact lenses grant millions the gift of sight?

In this episode of  TechFirst with John Koetsier with chat with Andrés Vásquez Quintero, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium, where researchers have just presented an artificial iris embedded in a smart contact lens.

It has an artificial iris, an all-day battery, an on-board ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, and a very small LCD screen. And it can do very basic augmented reality for people with limited vision.

PLEASE NOTE: the wifi at Ghent was not great, so Andres' audio and video is pretty sketchy.

As always, full transcripts will be available at: https://johnkoetsier.com/category/tech-first/
