A smart contact lens is not a novel concept in the market. Companies and scientists have been developing contact lenses with smart AR and digital features that can correct users’ eyesight as well as deliver smart AR and digital features. Now, it appears that the first smart contact lenses may be available to the general public sooner than you may expect. Let’s take a closer look at the specifics.
Smart Contact Lenses: When Will They Arrive?
Many businesses have developed functioning prototypes of smart contact lenses that enable AR and digital features throughout the last year. Mojo Vision is one of the most well-known startups, having shown its smart contact lens prototype, the Mojo Lens, in 2020.
The AR firm created the Mojo Lens, which is a pair of smart, AR-based contact lenses that can display data such as weather, health, sports scores, and more in an augmented reality environment. The Mojo Lens displays information on a high-density monochrome MicroLED display as small as a grain of sand, which is as small as a grain of sand.
Mojo Vision announced earlier this year that it will join with global sportswear brand Adidas to provide its superior Mojo Lens smart contact lens to the general public. And now, according to reports, the business is searching for volunteers to help test its smart contact lenses before they go on sale. If all goes according to plan, the business might release its smart contact lens as early as next year.
More Initiatives!
InWith Corp. is another firm working on developing smart contact lenses. It debuted the first soft smart contact lens at this year’s CES, which uses superior focusing technology to correct a user’s vision. It may also power itself by utilising the natural blinking of users. Apart from demonstrating its smart lens, InWith also stressed the importance of such devices in the future Web3 and Metaverse era.
Apart from these, according to a recent report by Global Market Vision on the Global Smart Contact Lens Market, firms like as Sony, Google, and Samsung will become key players in the field. Google, among others, has been working on smart contact lenses for a long time. The tech behemoth began developing the concept in 2014. It unveiled a smart contact lens that can track glucose levels in diabetics. Despite the fact that the research was terminated owing to bad clinical findings, the foundation appears to still exist, which Google can employ to construct its own smart contact lens.
As a result, smart contact lenses may gain traction in the coming years, especially given the growing interest in the metaverse. Many users with vision difficulties may find the device valuable, as it allows them to interact with AR surroundings in new ways. We still don’t know when the game will be released.
