21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)...

Google has invented a new smart contact lens with an integrated camera. By virtue of being part of the contact lens, the camera would naturally follow your gaze, allowing for a huge range of awesome applications, from the basis of a bionic eye system for blind and visually impaired people, through to early warning systems (the camera spots a hazard before your brain does), facial recognition, and superhuman powers (telescopic and infrared/night vision). In related news, Google Glass is publicly available today in the US for one day only (still priced at $1500).

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed an infrared sensor that could eventually be used in the production of night vision contact lenses.
