Mojo Vision is a technology company that has developed a smart contact lens, it’s called the “Mojo Lens.” It is a very small and thin, in-eye display that is designed to provide augmented reality and assistive visual information. The lens is embedded with a tiny, transparent display that can provide users with information and alerts such as text messages, notifications, and navigation. It also has the capability to enhance low-light vision and also include many other potential applications such as medical and professional use. The technology is still in development and not yet commercially available, but it has received significant interest and attention from the technology and healthcare industries.
What is Smart Lens
A smart lens is a type of contact lens or intraocular lens that is embedded with advanced technology and integrated with other devices such as smartphones or computers to provide additional functionality beyond basic vision correction. These lenses can provide a variety of capabilities such as:
- Augmented reality (AR): providing the wearer with additional visual information, such as text, images, and graphics, overlaid on their natural vision
- Biometric monitoring: measuring and tracking biometric data, such as heart rate, glucose levels, and body temperature
- Image capture: taking photographs or videos and transmitting them to a connected device.
- Low-light vision enhancement: making objects visible in low-light conditions
- Control: enabling the wearer to control their environment and other devices with voice commands, head movements, or eye movements.
Smart lenses are still in the early stages of development, and some of the technology is still under research and clinical trial. However, it’s expected that they will be able to provide valuable assistive capabilities and improve the quality of life for people with visual impairments and other conditions.
How do Mojo Lens work?
The lens has sensors and image-capture technology that can detect and measure the wearer’s environment, including lighting conditions and the location of objects and people. This information is then processed by an artificial intelligence-powered controller, which can adapt the display and the information provided to the wearer in real-time.
The Mojo lens are also designed to be extremely power-efficient and can be controlled via a tiny ring worn on the finger. The ring has a button which the wearer can press to interact with the lens, allowing the wearer to control the display, change settings and access different apps. It also includes wireless charging capability.
It’s worth mentioning that Mojo Vision is still in development phase, therefore information may change and be updated as the development progresses. The device is not yet commercially available and it will require FDA approval before it can be made available to the public.
