iOptik display system is a wearable system being developed by an US company Innovega Incorporated that combines smartglasses and smart contact lenses.[3] The goal of the company is to develop a device that does not have the need to have "the bulk of necessary eyewear optics" included in the frame of the glasses. The company states that this should achieve better performance[4] as well as enable manufacturers to create frames with more desirable designs.[5] By creating a fully transparent, Innovega aims to eliminate the social impact a device that blocks user's field of view may have.[6]

Main characteristics

iOptik consists of glasses frame equipped with two projectors (one for each eye) and a pair of smart contact lenses.
