It's like Google Glass, but actually in my eye. My single-lens experience is more like an incredibly shrunken-down version of single-eye smartglasses. Mojo's planning for a multicolor display next, and with two lenses in, images could be stereoscopic.

When I look at text, I can see the pixels, but it works for basic information. The extremely high-density monochrome MicroLED display inside Mojo Vision's lens feels impossibly small.

"Which is the idea that I get information when I need it, and the technology fades away when I don't." "We've been very focused on this concept we call invisible computing," Sinclair says about Mojo Vision. 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. 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. What I'm looking at is the very first prototype demo of the Mojo Lens, a preview of the first of several steps the company wants to make before these are ready. Mojo Vision is still years away from its goal of a viable consumer-ready, FDA-approved version of its lens. After showing off the display tech at CNET last year, this is the first time the company's smart lenses have been revealed. What, exactly, is going on here? Mojo Vision, a company founded in 2017, has been in stealth for years, promising a seemingly impossible set of smart AR contact lenses. "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. Mojo Vision's team has backgrounds from companies across tech and health care, including Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Philips Healthcare, Zeiss Ophthalmology and Johnson & Johnson. Sinclair has a background that includes the original iPhone launch at Apple, and vice president of product marketing at Motorola Mobility during the launch of the Moto 360, Moto Hint earbuds, and Moto X under Rick Osterloh (now head of Google's hardware). "We didn't want to get overhyped and show something that was just vaporware," says Steve Sinclair, vice president of product and marketing at Mojo Vision. well, it feels like tech that came from the year 2020. This is what Mojo Vision is gunning for, and it feels. It was like the world's smallest pair of smartglasses, right in my eye. And through a pin-sized glowing green dot, I saw text, displayed in a demo loop. I held it very, very close to my eye, as I stared at a projected screen in front of me. Instead, I held up a transparent plastic wand with the lens mounted on it. I didn't actually get to stick this lens in my eye. Without a doubt, the smallest piece of tech I've ever demoed. This lens had some circuitry embedded in it, and at the center, there was a tiny dot. You can see why I was intrigued.Īt a suite at the Palazzo hotel in Las Vegas, I approached a table where a single contact lens lay in a case. They weren't even officially a part of CES. I knew the company was pursuing some sort of AR contact lens. I knew they made very, very small displays. I had no idea what a company I've never met with before, called Mojo Vision, was going to show me. The few I can think of mostly involved Oculus. There aren't many meetings in Las Vegas during CES that still make my jaw drop.
