Samsung has been granted a patent for contact lenses that project images directly into the eye.

The patent, awarded in South Korea, includes a contact lens equipped with a display, a camera, an antenna, and several sensors that detect movement.

The contact lens will use the antenna to link up to a smartphone, which processes the image sent into the eyes.

This is the Google version of the smart contact lens. Source: http://mashable.com/2016/04/05/samsung-smart-contact-lenses-patent/#UmrhixaIhPqJ
