)--Linking the forefront of technology, serving commercial innovationDuring this year's AWE, Mojo Vision showcased its latest AR contact lens prototype. According to those who experienced it, upon close inspection, the prototype proved to be more powerful than expected, leaving a deep impression. During the demonstration, instead of just showing simple AR notification scenarios or static AR images, Mojo Vision was able to display a full graphical user interface, readable text, and other elements, though currently, it only supports monochrome green display.
According to reports from Qingting Network, the AR contact lens showcased by Mojo Vision at AWE is a functional prototype, meaning it has full functionality and can already be worn on the eyeball. Perhaps due to technical limitations, this prototype is still made of relatively thick and hard material, lacking the lightness and softness of regular contact lenses. Users commented that wearing the Mojo Vision AR contact lens is quite noticeable on the eyeball and may look a bit strange at first glance.
In terms of details, the Mojo Vision AR contact lens prototype integrates the world's smallest MicroLED screen, with a size of only 0.48 millimeters and a pixel pitch of 1.8 micrometers. It also includes an ARM processor, a 5GHz wireless module, an IMU, a medical-grade micro battery (specific battery life unknown), and circuits containing wireless charging components. The product has a field of view of only 15°, but it can follow eye movements, providing clear AR images to the area of the retina with the highest resolution.
In terms of interaction, you can control the AR interface with your eyes, utilizing IMU to track eye movements. Mojo Vision claims that its eye-tracking technology performs better than the optical eye-tracking systems currently available on the market. However, IMU may have issues such as drift (for example, difficulty distinguishing between head and eye movements), so the actual application's effectiveness remains to be seen.
Next, Mojo Vision plans to further reduce the thickness of AR contact lenses and even add an artificial retina coating, allowing them to be worn more naturally. Mojo Vision also stated: In the future, AR glasses will achieve immersive AR displays and binocular 3D rendering. Additionally, on-site experiments will need to be conducted, and FDA approval must be obtained before they can be marketed, with an estimated timeline of 1-5 years.
