#2It's an interesting development, but unfortunately not tested on humans yet. So we don't know yet the real resolution for human eye.

#4A high resolution OLED screen built into my eye? Screw IMAX.

No - I thought about the augmented realities in Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End:

#6As interesting as this is, I don't think embedding all this into a contact lens is t he way to go. This is purely hypothetical but how about something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUdDhWfpqxg (SixthSense) done with a sort of polarity/light effect that could only be seen though a special contact lens.

I thought of Steve Mann's "eye tap"

#8It will be interesting to see if they are able to progressively scale up the resolution while still ensuring that you can actually see out of the lens.
As cool as this is, though, I'm more interested in having them figure out more ways of restoring vision rather than augmenting it. For purely selfish reasons, I'm especially interested in retina replacement, which is being worked on (they've been able to create new retinas using embryonic stem cells), but I haven't heard of any studies having started yet to actually swap out damaged retinas with the new ones.

#9I want one with facial recognition software. Never have that nervous moment again when you have to do introductions and you are just not quite so sure about your old acquaintances name.

That but with nice metadata associated with them. Imagine Rapportive in real life. That would be incredibly useful.
