If you’re familiar with augmented reality, you already know how powerful it is and how it’s already being used in a variety of sectors. If you’re not familiar with augmented reality (AR), you’ve got a lot to learn!
This article will primarily focus on something revolutionary: Mojo Vision‘s world-first smart contacts. While their slogan is “a vision for the future,” this isn’t science fiction; we’re talking about a product that might be in your hands in the not so distant future.
Augmented reality in a nutshell
Augmented reality (AR) allows users to see an enhanced or “augmented” version of the real world, with the help of a camera and a screen, usually with a smartphone, or devices such as AR goggles that can display what the integrated camera sees.
The idea is very simple – you scan real-world surroundings with your camera, and the AR app displays information related to what is in front of the camera lens.
This is different from virtual reality (VR). In VR, you aren’t interacting with the real world; instead, VR goggles fully immerse you into a virtual world.
On the other hand, AR lets you interact with the real world through the screen. For example, AR apps can help contractors see the plumbing and installation behind walls. If they upload a blueprint into their app, they will be able to point their mobile phone camera to a wall and see the plumbing behind it on the screen, knowing exactly where to drill.
This is just one example, but AR is already finding use in many industries, from architecture and interior decoration to fashion, Instagram filters (yes, those annoying cute rabbit faces are generated by AR), to gaming.
But, as you are about to learn, one of the biggest problems AR faces is about to get solved once and for all.
Mojo Lens – a true revolution in augmented reality
While augmented reality is relatively new, the technology has already shown some limitations. First and foremost, you need a device that has a camera if you want to see the “augmented” world.
You needed a camera to capture the image and a screen to display it. So far, that meant you either needed a smartphone, AR goggles, or a similar external device.
While goggles are more convenient than holding a phone in your hand, they usually don’t look that good, and most only serve to display the picture in front of your eyes, not actually to correct your eyesight.
Mojo Lens is different.
Augmented reality in your eye
Mojo Lens is the world first smart contact lenses. And when we say lenses, we mean that – Mojo Lens’ do help your eyesight! But, they also enhance your vision with AR, without the need to hold your phone or put on unattractive, bulky AR goggles.
Mojo Lens has a tiny, microLED display that is the size of a grain of sand that will display AR information in front of your eye, literally, without interfering with your eyesight. On the contrary, the intelligent sensors built-in these contacts will actually correct your vision.
Unseen advantage
Unlike AR goggles, nobody will know that you wear your Mojo Lenses. This means you will no longer look silly when you have AR goggles on but will still have your hands completely free, unlike using your phone to access augmented reality.
This makes Mojo Lens an ideal partner for any sports event, where you will be able to get critical information about your surrounding in a glimpse of an eye, literally! You will see the info live without the need to stop and look at your phone, giving your best effort on the field or race.
But, thanks to Mojo Lens’ innovative software, you are not limited to sports activities. These smart contacts can help in other areas of your life. They will adjust to give you the best available information about your surroundings, whether engaged in a business or leisure activity.
Bottom line
Mojo Lens is promising. They will solve one of the biggest culprits of AR and in the best way possible. There are no geeky goggles, no need to stare in your phone that occupies your hands – the best AR has to give, right in front of your eyes.
