Smart contact lenses\u2014essentially flexible displays packed with augmented reality tech\u2014are sci-fi fodder as ubiquitous as the flying car. And like\u00a0the flying car<\/a>, the idea of AR-powered supervision is always\u00a0<\/a>on the cusp<\/a><\/em>\u00a0of going mainstream.<\/p>\n Mojo Vision, a startup out of Saratoga, California, is the latest company that thinks it’s figured out what companies like Google, Sony, and Magic Leap haven’t. The company calls its breakthrough Mojo Lens.<\/p>\n Mojo Vision has a pretty lofty idea of what it wants to accomplish through its AR smart contacts. The Mojo Lens prototype can supposedly provide real-time contrast and lighting enhancements as well as zoom, like on a smartphone camera, that will help people struggling with\u00a0low vision<\/a>, a gradual loss of sight that cannot be reversed.<\/p>\n According to a\u00a0press release<\/a>\u00a0that the company put out this week, the underlying concept is something called “invisible computing,” which Mojo says is a platform for instantaneous, hands-free info that will “allow people to interact with each other more freely and genuinely.”<\/p>\n Apart from providing a potential evolution for vision prostheses, Mojo says its contact lenses will help industrial workers access real-time information, which can increase productivity or compliance far better than a\u00a0vision-blocking headset<\/a>. Mojo Lens would also be an asset for emergency responders, like\u00a0firefighter shields that can display information<\/a>\u00a0about temperatures or what parts of a building are behind curtains of flames.<\/p>\n
