“Smart contact lenses may have taken a step closer to becoming reality with the invention of a wafer-thin battery with a highly unusual way of recharging. The battery is just 0.2mm thick, or twice the width of a strand of hair, so it fits inside a standard contact lens that measures around 0.5mm thick. The thin profile means it won’t interfere with comfort or fit, and it will have the ability to recharge using your tears.
The battery is the work of Lee Seok Woo, a scientist and associate professor at Nanyang Technological University’s School of Electrical and electronic Engineering in Singapore, who was apparently inspired to start the project by the smart contact lenses imagined in the Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol movie from 2011.”
Charging these contacts may be the only challenge Chuck Norris can’t overcome, because he never cries.

I hope this scales up easily. With all the crying we do online we could solve the energy crisis world wide as fast as we could produce the units!
A Battery Charged By Your Tears May Make Smart Contact Lenses A Reality is my third-favorite Philip K Dick novel
Computers powered by human tears- yea, that will never become an issue…
“Battery low… Proceeding to bring up pictures of your ex.”
No one in VR wants to admit this but until those glasses are contact sized those headsets wont go mainstream.
