Sounds like bullshit. Even if anyone could get it down to a contact lens with current technology, how would they handle depth and realistic enough graphics to react to the real environments graphics, etc? Sure, they could use some kind of depth sensor like an improved Kinect of some kind, but that would have to be incorporated into the contact lenses which only adds to the disbelief.
Via technology.
There was me hoping this was a new novel. I'd like a murder mystery about high tech contact lenses and a video game economist
I honestly think there may be some substance to this. And even if there isn't, I think the technology has already been researched - although not anywhere near consumer level. If we think about the amount of money that is poured into Valves efforts and the Oculus Rift equipment - that is after all just pennies compared to how much the various armed forces around the world pour into R&D each year.
Although we may not be able to justify how such a technology such as this works, I'm reluctant to dismiss it right off just because we - as the consumer - don't have access to it.
I don't think this is quite possible. how are you able to get VR on a contact lens when we don't even have chips that small. or, do we.

Already in 2004 were we able to make simple dot matrixes with LEDs on contact lenses, so the screen part is reasonable enough.
But how would it get power? Via a microscopic built-in battery? Wirelessly via induction? The latter sounds more plausible, but I'm not so sure about this article.

It runs on the salts extracted from your tears... Every 5 mins a sad video will play and force you to cry a little with the aim of recharging the lenses :)

Slow down Valve, we're still working with the bulky Google Glass, we'll get to contact lenses later

And after that to vision enhancing prosthesis eyes.
Maybe they wirelessly connect to a server which does all the processing.
