The polarized contact lens shown enables a wearer to see near-to-eye imagery.

The polarized contact lens shown here was developed by Innovega to enable a wearer to see near-to-eye imagery simultaneously with the surrounding environment. The Innovega CES demonstration will use contact lenses mounted to a digital video system to emulate how images would look to a wearer.
