Smart contact lens from Ghent University: an artificial iris that can dynamically change your vision

Could smart contact lenses grant millions the gift of sight? In this episode of  TechFirst with John Koetsier with chat with Andrés Vásquez Quintero, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium, where researchers have just presented an artificial iris embedded in a smart contact lens. It has an artificial iris, an all-day battery, an on-board ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, and a very small LCD screen. And it can do very basic augmented reality for people with limited vision. PLEASE NOTE: the wifi at Ghent was not great, so Andres' audio and video is pretty sketchy. As always, full transcripts will be available at: https://johnkoetsier.com/category/tech-first/
