The ‘Bionic’ Eye A PowerPoint Presentation By MD. ABDUR RAZZAK

The ‘Bionic’ Eye  Meet Thumper and admire his eyewear.  Nanotechnology used to build electronic circuitry and embed a wireless display into a contact lens.  Original Concept: ‘Bionic’ Vision  Ultimate conquest: the world.  **no bunnies were injured during the course of this presentation.

Method behind the madness.  The quest for portable and compact devices leads to smaller and smaller and smaller screens. I f it gets any smaller we won’t be able to read the screen.  The lens becomes a tool for Heads- up displays and Augmented Reality Technology.

Really? Stick it in my eye? o Innovative Concept: combining organic with inorganic o Microfabrication technique that layering electrical components only a few nanometers thick. Size comparison: the human eyelash is 80,000 nanometers thick.

Not Sci-Fi: Micro-scale technology available  Nanotechnology Possibilities become limitless  Heads-Up Display (HUD)  Fields of Augmented Reality: Outdoor AR Mobile AR Mobile Projective AR Ubiquitous Computing Stereoscopy  Retinal Imaging Display (RID)

Reality Check: Challenges  Prototype. It’s the first step and the second...  Where does the battery go?  Computer to Human Interface

Ultimate Conquests  Medical Field Improve vision.  Argus II Retinal Implant Monitor health through bio-sensors.  Military technology. HUD: Heads-up display. Combat interfacing. GPS: location and object mapping.  Commercial: gaming, augmented reality and inter- facing with small mobile devices.  Social implications?
