This has great potential

Frankly, I like this better than self-driving cars.  It's a projected imaging device that can be incorporated into a contact lens.  A pair of glasses complete the hardware package.

An application for this is a heads up display when you are driving a car.  If all the information about your surroundings can be put in front of you, it seems that this would be a big advantage to a driver.  Using a mirror requires moving your head around.  What if you wanted a rear view and side view and everything superimposed upon the view directly in front?  You would have a continual complete picture that you could never get from a conventional system.

It always seems to be a problem to me out there with "the other guy" when you don't know where they are or what they may be doing next.  Such a system could help you be a better driver.
