According to reporting by Venture Beat, “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.”

Steve Sinclair, senior vice president of marketing at Mojo Vision, “calls it Invisible Computing, a platform that overlays information on what you see in the real world — without requiring you to wear a huge gadget on your head. We’ve been hard at work creating the world’s first true smart contact lens, and by true we mean it really builds in all the capabilities of a solution that you can wear all day, and project augmented reality information to the wearer whenever you need it,” Sinclair said.

Meanwhile, Scott Stein writes on CNET: “Mojo Vision, a company founded in 2017, has been in stealth for years, promising a seemingly impossible set of smart AR contact lenses. These contact lenses won’t just display text; they’ll sense objects, track eye motion, have an eye-controlled interface that will access data like a smartwatch or smartglasses, and… they’ll see in the dark. They’re not just meant to give everyday people James Bond powers in their eyes; they’re really looking to assist people whose vision impairment could use help, like those with macular degeneration.”

InAVate provides some more technical information: “The lens uses a display, reportedly the size of a grain of sand to project images onto the human retina, capable of displaying statistics such as health tracking, translation and other feeds of data. The device can also be used to enable step by step directions while walking, information for replacing complex parts of machinery or display talking points for a presentation without using a handheld device that can distract from the flow of natural conversation or work.”

“We’ve been very focused on this concept we call invisible computing,” Sinclair says about Mojo Vision. “Which is the idea that I get information when I need it, and the technology fades away when I don’t.”
