谷歌公司正在寻求研发一种能够监控泪水中葡萄糖浓度的隐形眼镜,借此让数以百万计的糖尿病患者能够以更好的方法控制自己的病情。这种隐形眼镜是符歌高度保密的X实验室的最新计划。这个实验室也提出其他各种构想,包括无人驾驶车辆、能够与网络连接的眼镜,以及Loon专案,利用气球将网络带到偏远地区。
Google Inc. is searching for a better way for millions of diabetics to manage their disease by developing a contact lens that monitors glucose levels in tears. The contact lenses are the latest project from Google's secretive X lab, which also came up with the driverless car, the Internet-connected eyewear Glass, and Project Loon, which is using balloons to bring the Internet to far-flung places.
