Called iOptik , this device allows users to see digital information that is being projected ahead, such as direction of movement and video call.

Designed by Innovega engineers based in Washington, the new contact lens contains tiny screens in front of the wearer's eyeball.

When combined with iOptik with dedicated glasses, users will feel like watching a 240-inch screen at a distance of 3 meters, according to CNET CEO Steve Willey's Innovega.
