A prototype smart contact lens known as “Mojo Lens“created by startup Mojo Visionpromises to bring augmented reality (FROG) for people’s daily lives. This is an important milestone for the company, which is in the process of development, tests as well as Examinationin a creation that can offer an extra level of interactivity not yet possible in smartphones, Virtual reality glasses and other similar technological devices – important mainly (but not only) for visually impaired.

Basic tools will be built right into the small lens, as will its advanced features such as the tiny screen and system eye tracking. In the last two years software which can extract the potential of the equipment are developed with high priority.

Specifications of smart lenses

Speaking in detail about lenses, chips have been implemented that provide the above augmented reality through a small panel micro led the size of a grain of sand 14 thousand pixels per inchonly measurement 0.5 m in diametergeneral pixel–innings in 1.8 µm.

Despite the enormous potential of technology, for first generation, the expected use cases are varied but still in the process of maturation. It will be possible to receive simple signals that can be useful for car trips, or even abbreviated information that will make it easier to perform some routine tasks.

For the already imagined second generation one expected density even more pixels per inch, in the future full color screen – green screen will be used initially, as it is more efficient in maintaining energy, and also more viable in this initial production process.

Steve Sinclair, senior vice president of Mojo Vision, gave examples of other possible uses, such as a compass for simplified directions, or even a teleprompter useful in lectures or in situations that require subtle visual intervention in texts. Panels typical of video games will be able to overcome the limitations of our TVs, and they can even be used in real sports matches. Golf.

The startup attracted approx. US$205 million (~ 1 billion Brazilian reais) through various investors such as Motorola Solutions, Amazon Alexa Foundation, Dolby Family Businesses and HP Technology Enterprises (among many others). If the technology achieves the desired results, even in this first generation, it could become an alternative that can change the consumption habits of people around the world – like the appearance of smartphones more than a decade ago.

At this point, it will be necessary to wear the processor around the user’s neck to transfer data between the lens and the connected computer. visually impaired special attention will be paid, as this creation can significantly improve the quality of life of those involved. Professionals are working to integrate the user interface system into FROG which satisfies daily human needs.
