If you thought pico projectors were small now, wait until you see what the University of Washington has in store. Today, the university unveiled their concept of a contact lens that has a built in LED array. This array is designed to project images directly into your retinas. Right now the project has been limited to red and blue images. However, if the university can complete green images then the lenses will be able to display full color images. The developers state that the images will in perfect focus at all times and they will be powered by a wireless connection to a belt pack. The belt pack will also have all the connections required to connect other devices. There is no word if these lenses will ever make it past development stages.
