Who would've thought that the realm of science fiction has been blurred with a group of University of Washington engineers having successfully developed contact lenses that are capable of displaying various details such as the number of an incoming call on your cell phone. The display is superimposed on the outside world, and with further maturity of the technology, it can be used by drivers to view the display speed of the vehicle or even by pilots to see the plane's condition when flying. I'm more excited about the use for this in a video game than anything else since we already have dashboards in the respective cockpits on both car and plane. Web surfing on this would be interesting too, but don't get caught with your pants down (literally or otherwise) while surfing for off limits websites during office hours.
