The prototype was tested by the company’s president, Drew Perkins. He successfully implemented the gadget by testing various functions such as displaying images, navigating in space, and reading text from a virtual prompt.

“Iron” AR lens

The working prototype of futuristic lenses is equipped with a MicroLED display with a resolution of 250×250 pixels and a diameter of only 0.5 mm. The lenses receive a signal at a frequency of 5 GHz and work on the basis of a very small processor with Arm architecture. This allows them to overlay digital objects over real-world images.

What else can “smart” lenses do?

The prototype of the AR device already knows how to follow the direction of the gaze so that virtual objects remain in sight. Very small batteries are used for power, but it is not yet known how long they will last.

When the device is available

Mojo Vision plans to continue testing and clinical trials for now. It is currently unknown when the lenses will hit the market, but it will happen in the not-too-distant future. It is also known that the price of the device will reach the level of a flagship smartphone, so those who want to use the device among the first to use the device should start saving money because it is unlikely to cost less than $ 900.
