Smart Contact Lens Technology: A new milestone in AR

It wasn’t too long ago that the concept of smart contact lenses was just a ‘concept’

It was the stuff of James Bond movie. It was the future technology of the someday

Apparently, that someday is closer than we might have thought

[{"selector":"#anim-3d39de38-4a45-4666-bbce-0d627c8c7c51","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b435852c-c285-4aa5-b11e-db873ea85d72","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(121.10727%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In March, Mojo Vision announced that it had developed a new prototype of its Mojo Lens

[{"selector":"#anim-e1fb7891-5f31-4ba0-ba66-346ad370ccbb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-10a03442-f100-4956-9162-5a3ab0abeed9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(119.19192%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Mojo Vision calls it “the world’s first true smart contact lens”

[{"selector":"#anim-96dc9113-2db2-43d6-9a7e-055b8aa240b5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.27243%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-76c6a12c-2c81-44c8-8719-667a27be4f9c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d24a2910-86d3-4c76-9ada-db81ab01c318","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

CEO Drew Perkins is the first person to wear the company’s first feature complete prototype

[{"selector":"#anim-0805f7e1-f7fe-40af-9760-ece83a17f134","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d207e87-b6e0-440e-bc41-49c5a5bdbbfa","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(122.10526%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The lens features an array of technologies: an ARM processor, a short-range radio, an eye tracking system and more

[{"selector":"#anim-cd18a478-e151-4b48-adf8-ca1ce798007d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f548412c-2e16-412d-bff2-e5be43ffec93","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(121.10727%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The lens is powered by medical-grade micro-batteries

[{"selector":"#anim-2bab7eb6-f426-4569-b8e5-c972ea549e99","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b2f7818d-840e-459a-8c1a-77d587a76355","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(124.01433%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
