Wired's Found Contact Lens

I like the "Found" feature on the back page of Wired. It's an artist's concept of future technology interspersed with items from our daily lives.

The current issue featured a contact lens with a heads-up display. Neat concept, but then I realized the artist got it wrong: With all the data around your iris, and not your pupil, you wouldn't be able to see any of it. We see because light enters our pupils: The iris just controls the aperture.

Melissa points out that since it's from the future, I don't know what technology they're using, so maybe they've figured out a way to make it work. Good point.
