Augmented Reality Contact Lens

The link that started it all gents. I'm sure we've all had a good read of it at this point in time, but I figured I should put it up here for a reference. Please note the article was posted in 2009 so it should be treated with that timeline in mind.

U of C's Augmented Reality Project "HomeWindow"

A short paper on what a team of researchers at the University of Calgary was/is working on. This is initially how I discovered there was an AR dept at the U of C and also provided me the contact info of some of the team members, who I hope to get an interview with. For those of you who don't want to read through it, its basically an MAR app that analyzes power consumption of electronics (among other things).

Stay Healthy with a Smart Contact Lens

A recent article written by Babak Parviz that outlines where the team's prototype contact lens is at, and talks quite a bit about the scanning technology in the lens presently.

Display Optics

An online article that breaks the building process down and makes a little easier to understand. Still some technical jargon, but much easier to follow then a lot of the specific stuff that goes way over my head.

Virtual Reality Contact Lens

Another article by Babak Parviz, essentially says a lot of the same stuff, just wanted a different source so all the info wasn't coming from one place. Babak is clearly the expert on the subject, or at least the only publicized one.

Biosensors

While not specifically referring to the contact lens, I felt this information relevant nonetheless. This research compilation talks about what a biosensor is, how it works, and what kind of applications it/they can be utilized for. I felt this information relevant because the scanner technology in Parviz's contact lens is a form of a biosensor. Pretty interesting read regardless.
