Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention provide for systems and apparatuses directed toward using a contact lens and deflection optics to processes display information and non-display information. In one embodiment of the invention, a contact lens assembly is provided, comprising: a substrate including optical path optics and configured to receive a display information optical path emitted from a display and a non-display information optical path not emitted from the display. The optical path optics of the substrate is configured to be partially deflective such that the non-display information optical path is transmitted to a human visual system without deflection, and the display information optical path is transmitted to the human visual system with deflection.
