Singapore: Inspired by the movie Mission Impossible, a scientist from Singapore invented a battery of smart contact lenses.
An agent was shown using such contact lenses in Mission Impossible 4. From which face recognition and eye tracking could be done easily.
Lee Seok-woo specializes in battery components. He belongs to the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Nanyang Technological University, which is located in Singapore.
He believed that smart contact lenses need batteries that are very safe and comprehensive and do not cause any kind of damage to the eyes.
He believed that smart contact lenses need batteries that are very safe and compact, which will be important in making these lenses modern. So that these contact lenses do not cause any damage to the eyes.
According to Lee Seok-woo, the size of these batteries has been kept at 1.5 mm to save the user from discomfort. And the thickness of these batteries is about 0.2 mm, which is about 1.5 times thicker than a human hair.
Lee and his team say that this battery does not contain any flammable material (lithium-ion) and that the battery can be easily powered by a salt-water solution.
This battery can be charged by both traditional wire or chemical methods. When this glucose-coated battery is immersed in salt water, the sodium chloride and glucose react to charge the battery.
According to Lee Seok-woo, this battery can be charged with tears. Because there is glucose inside the tears. And when the lenses are worn, tears can also charge the battery.
