It has been reported that Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Research has
collaborated with researchers from the University of Washington to develop smart
contact lens. The contact lenses are claimed to be able to directly transmit
digital information to the wearers eye. This joint venture is a part of
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)s endeavor to create natural user interfaces
that make interacting with electronic devices like computers. Professor Babak
Parviv in a promotional video from Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Research,
said that, Weve been able to put a glucose sensor on a contact lens and show
that it can detect glucose at levels that are found in the tear film. Our
broader group has actually designed and built small radios that can interface
with this glucose sensor and send out information wirelessly. What is inside the
blood, to a degree, appears on the surface of the eye. So there is a reflection
of the body chemistry directly on the surface of the eye. If you have a contact
lens that can sample that surface, analyze it, and maybe send out the
information through a radio, this contact lens, in principle, can give us
information about whats happening inside the body without actually going into
the body or collecting a blood sample. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) shares were
