Ever since news that Google had patented some really smart contact lenses to detect sugar levels in tears to help out people suffering of diabetes, the idea that the company may be working on more tech that could turn the world into a sci-fi set didn’t seem that far-fetched.



Well, it seems that everyone’s hunches weren’t that far off the mark. In fact, Google has filed a couple of new patent requests related to this area.

This is all just one large merry go round that just keeps on going...LOL

Yep! Self importance and try to make them look good, LOL!

 

I think what they are doing though is for the home/consumer computer users to use on websites like social media and email.

 

Wait, the Google Glasses will be available contacts! Actually, that is a bit scary.
