These consist of making a tiny system with which you can interact through your eyes without the need for anything else.
MOJOVISION
This is the name of the most advanced company with this new wearable. So far the project is just that, but at least it is not a prototype that can fail, but CEO Drew Perkins himself has already tested it. He has seen how it works (pun intended) and its possible uses. This gives us a good taste in our mouths since, if the invention is already a reality, it is only a matter of time before they fix the possible errors and can market it.
Its operation is based on a system capable of recognizing where you are looking and being activated. That is to say, you could use contact lenses as if they were any other, but when looking towards a specific end, a panel would open with all the options and depending on where you look, you could select the different functions, all through your iris and pupil. Something that seems very futuristic but is already closer than we think.
Your resolution is 14,000 dots per inch. According to Perkins, “less than 0.5mm in diameter and 1.8 micron pixel pitch.” That is, the smallest screen in the world.
They also assure us that it incorporates accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers. I honestly don’t know how they can fit it into something so small, it’s amazing. They would be used so that the hardware could understand where we are looking and so that we do not get motion sickness. Something understandable.
Last year, this company teamed up with Adidas, trying to make a collaboration that manages to bring these lenses to practical sports-oriented purposes. We’ll see where it ends.
Finally, comment on the subject of the battery, since you will wonder how it works. Well, its weak point would be this, since due to its size it has not been possible to implement something that can last more than 1 day. Although hey, we have devices that last even less, so for a prototype, it’s not bad at all. I imagine that they will manage to charge it with the movement of the blink, because I don’t know how far they can go anymore.
And if you are thinking at this point that you will not be able to use it because you have a vision problem, know that this is not the case, since they ensure that these lenses can work like any other. They are designed for all audiences, so if you already have one, what better way to replace them than with smart ones.
The price or release date that they may have is unknown, it is only known that they are already in use and that it is likely that, although it seems very distant, we will see them sooner than we imagine.
Can you imagine following a GPS with your eyes or even recording what our own eyes see? Augmented reality games with them? The options are incredible, although we will still have to wait.
