The Mojo Lens promises to be the world’s first true smart contact lens, which will allow for a true head-up display of information without a bulky headset to block peripheral vision. The company has been developing the technology “in stealth” for about 10 years and is currently in the research and development phase.

Before anyone gets too excited, the lenses are cannot be purchased yet and Mojo Vision plans to use their technology to “help people struggling with low vision through enhanced image displays,” according to the press release. Rollout to businesses for productivity applications will come after the vision assisting release, which is likely several years away.

Mojo claims its Lens has the “smallest and densest dynamic display ever made, the world’s most power-efficient image sensor optimized for computer vision, a custom wireless radio, and motion sensors for eye-tracking and image stabilization.”

The next step will be working with the FDA to allow the contacts to be worn in the eye. There’s no word on how disposable these lenses will be.

Tell me what you think about this! Would this be a better option than wearable face and eye shields?
