Mojo Vision is revealing a smart
contact lens with a tiny built-in display that lets you view augmented reality
images on a screen sitting right in front of your eyeballs. The display uses
MicroLEDs, a technology expected to play a critical role in the development of
next-generation wearables, AR/VR hardware, and heads-up displays (HUDs).
MicroLEDs use 10% of the power of current LCD displays, and they have five to
10 times higher brightness than OLEDs. This means MicroLEDs enable comfortable
viewing outdoors
Mojo Vision holds patents for the
development of an augmented reality (AR) smart contact lens dating back more
than a decade. The company is currently demonstrating a working prototype of
the device. The Mojo Lens is designed to span a range of consumer and
enterprise use cases. Additionally, the company is planning an early
application of the product to help people struggling with low vision through
enhanced image overlays. This application of the Mojo Lens is designed to
provide real-time contrast and lighting enhancements, as well as zoom
functionality.
