Some skills only feasible on sci-fi movies, like sharpness in long-range vision, see in the dark, calculating distances with precision, and associate stats about what is being seen are already possible with devices like VR glasses, for example. But a lens with a dot the size of a grain of sand promises to take this experience to another level. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"graf-image alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/600\/0*xQhZzgqpeTHg77MH.png\" width=\"510\" height=\"273\" data-image-id=\"0*xQhZzgqpeTHg77MH.png\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"548\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mojo.vision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.mojo.vision\/\">Mojo Vision<\/a> has designed lenses that fit on to the human eye and allow wearers to interface with the internet through <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@oyarzo.pablo\/invisible-computing-3e462f33b263\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@oyarzo.pablo\/invisible-computing-3e462f33b263\">invisible computing<\/a>, without \u201cinterrupting your focus\u201d. It can display statistics like health tracking and other data feeds using augmented reality. The lenses project light in front of the user\u2019s eye\u200a\u2014\u200ameaning it can still be seen when their eyes are shut.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n<div class=\"section-inner sectionLayout--insetColumn\">\n<h4 class=\"graf graf--h4\">Why it\u2019s&nbsp;Cool<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"postList\">\n<li class=\"graf graf--li\">It\u2019s attractive because it aims to deliver information instantly, in real-time, hands-free, and completely imperceptibly to others. Furthermore, they could also be used in a variety of situations, from giving cyclists metrics on a steep incline up ahead to identifying star constellations as you gaze at the sky;<\/li>\n<li class=\"graf graf--li\">They\u2019re not just meant to give everyday people James Bond powers in their eyes; they\u2019re really looking to assist people whose vision impairment could help them get better, or those with low vision conditions as macular degeneration, glaucoma, etc which is inspiring;<\/li>\n<li class=\"graf graf--li\">It aims to place useful data and imagery over your world\u200a\u2014\u200aand boost your natural vision\u200a\u2014\u200ausing tech that can barely be seen. The startup named the lenses \u201cMojo\u201d because it wants to build something that\u2019s like getting superpowers for your eyes. In the coming decade, it\u2019s likely that our computing devices will become more personal and reside closer to\u200a\u2014\u200aor even inside\u200a\u2014\u200aour bodies. Our eyes are the logical next stop on the journey.<\/li>\n<li class=\"graf graf--li\">The wearer has the potential of acting naturally. Lenses adapted to the body, not using a device, is less intrusive. A real concretization of the technology as the extension of our bodies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"graf-image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/800\/0*slnQVUITAfwcAgYK.png\" data-image-id=\"0*slnQVUITAfwcAgYK.png\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"525\" data-is-featured=\"true\"><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"graf graf--h4\">Why it has Future Growth Potential<\/h4>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">The Mojo Lens has been ten years in the making, with a working prototype released earlier this year. With demos showing the potential to see in the dark and navigate menus with your eyes, this kind of product appears to be aiming for the sweet spot between clunky AR goggles and invasive brain-computer interfaces like <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-chip-put-in-human-within-year-2020-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-chip-put-in-human-within-year-2020-5\">Neuralink<\/a>. As Google and many big tech companies, Mojo claims more of \u201chuman experience as free raw material for translation into behavioral data,\u201d which it will then use to create products for its real customers: advertisers and other companies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"graf graf--pullquote\"><p>Looking to the future, the next big step will be for the very concept of the \u201cdevice\u201d to fade away. Over time, the computer itself\u200a\u2014\u200awhatever its form factor\u200a\u2014\u200awill be an intelligent assistant helping you through your day. We will move from mobile-first to an AI-first world.\u200a\u2014\u200aSundar Pichai, as current Google CEO, <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--pullquote-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/topics\/inside-google\/this-years-founders-letter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/topics\/inside-google\/this-years-founders-letter\/\">explained in his first letter to shareholders in&nbsp;2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">As an invisible device that you can put out whenever you want or use it all day long, it\u2019s potentially easier for people to \u201cact naturally\u201d as long they provide useful personal data to the tech manufacturers. And with more accurate data provided by augmenting reality, they can own and control behavioral data. On the other hand, it takes time to be highly adopted once the idea of having a device glued to your retina sounds intrusive and not safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">To be tested in eyes, those contact lenses need to be approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration from the United States) and Mojo is still working on that. But according to Jesse Orrall, who had the chance to try out Mojo Vision\u2019s prototype reported on the video below, the experience is \u201cdefinitely felt like a preview into the future of wearable tech\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><strong>Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">SULLIVAN, Mark. <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">The making of Mojo, AR contact lenses that give your eyes superpowers<\/em> <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90441928\/the-making-of-mojo-ar-contact-lenses-that-give-your-eyes-superpowers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90441928\/the-making-of-mojo-ar-contact-lenses-that-give-your-eyes-superpowers\">https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90441928\/the-making-of-mojo-ar-contact-lenses-that-give-your-eyes-superpowers<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">STEIN, Scott. <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">A single contact lens could give your entire life a head-up display<\/em> <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/health\/a-single-contact-lens-could-give-your-entire-life-a-head-up-display\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/health\/a-single-contact-lens-could-give-your-entire-life-a-head-up-display\/\">https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/health\/a-single-contact-lens-could-give-your-entire-life-a-head-up-display\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">NAUGHTON, John.<em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\"> \u2018The goal is to automate us\u2019: welcome to the age of surveillance capitalism <\/em><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2019\/jan\/20\/shoshana-zuboff-age-of-surveillance-capitalism-google-facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2019\/jan\/20\/shoshana-zuboff-age-of-surveillance-capitalism-google-facebook\">https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2019\/jan\/20\/shoshana-zuboff-age-of-surveillance-capitalism-google-facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">EADICICCO, Lisa<em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">.<\/em> <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Elon Musk says there\u2019s a chance his AI-brain-chip company will be putting implants in humans within a year <\/em><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-chip-put-in-human-within-year-2020-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-chip-put-in-human-within-year-2020-5\">https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-chip-put-in-human-within-year-2020-5<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">CHANDLER, Simon. <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">\u2018Invisible Computing\u2019 Contact Lens Is Surveillance Capitalism\u2019s Holy Grail<\/em> <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/simonchandler\/2020\/01\/17\/invisible-computing-contact-lens-is-surveillance-capitalisms-holy-grail\/#6ee9486aa2c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/simonchandler\/2020\/01\/17\/invisible-computing-contact-lens-is-surveillance-capitalisms-holy-grail\/#6ee9486aa2c3\">https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/simonchandler\/2020\/01\/17\/invisible-computing-contact-lens-is-surveillance-capitalisms-holy-grail\/#6ee9486aa2c3<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"section section--body\">\n<div class=\"section-divider\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n<div class=\"section-inner sectionLayout--insetColumn\">\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- \/wp:tadv\/classic-paragraph --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it Tech devices have definitely improved our experience of vision.
