    14fps? That must be a misprint, an otherwise useless frame rate for anyone

    @SwainElephnot: That's not for video. 14fps in this case means 14 photos in 1 second.

    Okay I love the concept. It's from the future and makes up for our current lack of a flying car in every driveway and aluminum foil evening wear. But I can imagine their business meetings though...

    "Hey we can make these augmented reality contact lenses with LEDs and micro laser beams."

    "Ummm, but wouldn't be easier to put that display in a pair of glasses?"

    "Dude, did you not hear me? LASER BEAMS IN YOUR FREAKIN EYEBALL BEAMING YOU SHIT!"

    "Yes, well point taken, but really don't you think most people would rather just put on a pair of glasses then stick a contact in their eye?"

    "I can't talk to you. You just don't get it man."

    now, I'm no expert in biology, or nanotechnology, or anything at all really, but wouldn't it be best and/or easier and/or more efficient to get the energy through the heat of the eye or some other direct method from the host?

    yeah, what's wrong with glasses all of a sudden?

    First: glasses don't cause problems with saccadic eye movements.

    Second: glasses allow you to focus on and beyond the screen, while (I am guessing here, but educatedly) focussing would be a bit hard with things that close to the lens.

    Third: you can take glasses off in a jiffy when they bother you.

    @yogibimbi: I wear contacts, and I have no problems focusing on close objects. Reading this article, it would appear they want to create an array that would simulate the display being a foot or so in front of your face, which causes no focus issues. I would hope this sort of display is easily turned off, and then I would assume that you wouldn't really see the circuits (if small enough) - it's like being really close to a screen door or focusing past raindrops on a camera lens.

    Yes, it can be a pain to require a case and solution to remove them for extended periods, but as someone who got their first pair of glasses in 1st grade, I'll gladly take the benefits. Full corrected periphial vision, the ability to wear sunglasses, no more dirty lenses ... yes sir.

    i agree with you on this one...if you're gonna spend all sorts of money on a nice DSLR, don't completely skimp on the lens. the entire point of having a quality camera is to be able to use enjoy all the capabilities, which are honestly limited with a kit lens. and there is nothing wrong with buying an off-brand tamron. they're quality lenses for a lot less and screw the image stabilization on the new lenses, we lasted for how long without it...why do we need to spend a couple hundred extra on it now?
