A glance to the left. A flick to the right. As my eyes flitted around the room, I moved through a virtual interface only visible to me—scrolling through a calendar, looking up commute times home, and even controlling music playback. It's all I theoretically need to do to use Mojo Lens, a smart contact lens coming from a company called Mojo Vision.
The California-based company, which has been quiet about what it's been working on for five years, has finally shared its plan for the world's "first true smart contact lens." But let's be clear: This is not a product you'll see on store shelves next autumn. It's in the research and development phase—a few years away from becoming a real product. In fact, the demos I tried did not even involve me plopping on a contact lens—they used virtual reality headsets and held up bulky prototypes to my eye, as though I was Sherlock Holmes with a magnifying glass.

You should assume there are invisible cameras in hats and glasses.
That all 'smart' phones can be remotely penetrated with ease.
That you have some or another article on you that gives off a passive rfid echo that can be tracked.
That tiny earpieces with direct telecommunication with the fusion center and whatever op team is coordinating, no matter if you are in the middle of nowhere or the city.
I saw, on one occasion, with someone I am damn sure was an agent, him do something that you could not have done without a contact lense display.
I have believed since then that this exists, and considering what they can do with idk cheap camcorder viewfinders, and that it is a holy grail type of thing, I bet it exists.
Hilarious is when in movies and teevee like 'Gemini Man' they are still wearing earpieces as big as 1980's hearing aids.
mmmhmm.

According to Morpheus the matrix is all around us. As the sun dims and shrinks the habitable zone holding the CPU moved from the exploded asteroid belt planet, to mars, to now earth, and next Venus. Then finally it will move to Mercury and hopefully by then the sun will spit out a new planet.
