Hopefully they don't kill this off in a month. I had an app called bump that I had been using for the past year for photo sharing called bump (http://bu.mp), google bought them out for 30 million and some changed, and just announced they were killing them off this month.

Google Contact Lenses (source: Official Blog: Introducing our smart contact lens project)

We’re now testing a smart contact lens that’s built to measure glucose levels in tears using a tiny wireless chip and miniaturized glucose sensor that are embedded between two layers of soft contact lens material. We’re testing prototypes that can generate a reading once per second. We’re also investigating the potential for this to serve as an early warning for the wearer, so we’re exploring integrating tiny LED lights that could light up to indicate that glucose levels have crossed above or below certain thresholds.

Everywhere we turn some Google product will be monitoring our surroundings...​

This, they look retarded. I'll wait for Google Contact Lenses.

Although not really what I expected..

These guys built an open-source version
The short looping vids that explain the process remind me of trolling WF gifs
