finger; an accommodating contact lens for people with
astigmia or presbyopia; and a lens used in virtual reality

or augmented reality games, helping people to see things
in the dark, where each blink charges the lens, these are
all coming to the stage. I am eager to see such kinds of
products in the future.

It is even better to combine the lens with the mind-reading
headset of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MlT).
In 2018, MIT released a wearable device that attaches

to the head to read the brainwaves of the user who can 079
send and receive messages without making a sound. For
example, when you want to know the current time or the
name of the object in front of you, the device will pass

the answer to you silently after sensing it. Ten people
had participated in testing the headset and the average
accuracy is over 90%.

If the mind-reading function is combined with a smart
contact lens, then perhaps we could communicate by
using brainwaves via cloud computing, and ask for videos
or information to be projected in front of us; when replying

to messages, the user only needs to think about it, then
the smart glasses could convert the reply into text that
