Black technology! Silicon Valley startups have created a smart AR glasses the size of contact lenses.

Recently, Steve Sinclair, senior vice president of product and marketing at Mojo Vision, a Silicon Valley startup, was excited about the technology his company was developing. It is reported that Mojo Vision has made a very innovative intelligent AR contact lens. If the Mojo project works effectively, it can be achieved by sticking a small screen directly on the user's eyes every day, just like a smart phone makes the pocket a little heavier.

At present, we are still developing technology and raising funds. In early May, Mojo Vision announced that it had raised an additional $565.438 billion to manufacture its first product, Mojo Lens. This is the basis of the (at least) $6543.8+$800 million it raised, making its total cash income close to $6543.8+$600 million.

Sinclair, senior vice president of this new company, explained: "Mojo Lens is a kind of smart contact lens with built-in display screen, which can provide users with timely information without interrupting the focus of glasses." "It's all about improving users' horizons by providing accurate information when needed, while making users look like themselves. "

Take AR as an example, the technology industry is doing its best not to let go of the water that threatens to erupt. Google Glass is an early attempt to take advantage of this ar dream. Apple owns ARKit and has several patents of its own head-up display. Microsoft has HoloLens, then Snapchat's Spectacles, Magic Leap (which received a large capital injection from Google) and so on.

However, despite such a crazy FOMO fund, no one really nailed the perfect nail for AR. Although many companies are making AR glasses, no company has provided such eye-catching equipment, which indicates the future road.

AR contact lenses can change this situation. This kind of thing will be able to provide users with important information at any time according to their background, what they are doing, what they are looking at, where they are, and where they are. For example, it may be to help users remember people they have met before, or to show users virtual tips during a speech, or to [provide] real-time translation and hidden subtitles in the real world so that users can communicate with better people.

However, as the inventor said, Mojo Vision must invent all kinds of things, from its own oxygenation system (it turns out that eye breathing is very important), custom chips to eye tracking algorithms. Vice President Sinclair said, "We are trying to innovate in six or seven different specific areas." "Put all this together, this is a very complicated system ... very bold." The idea is that Mojo shots can be controlled in several different ways. One is to use some kind of "relay accessories" worn by users through voice. The other part is eye tracking technology. The goal here is to find out where the user is looking for and the contextual information he might want to see at that time, instead of distracting the user's vision like a pop-up window on the world's most annoying website.

Mojo hasn't really fired the first shot yet. It is still putting together the puzzle, hoping to put it together at the right time. The current display can compress 70,000 pixels in less than half a millimeter, making it the smallest and densest dynamic display ever.

All this sounds spectacular, so the problem comes. When will it be realized? Where Mojo is going-the biggest market, of course. However, the launch date of the product has not been announced yet, but the relevant person in charge said: "It is less than 10 or 20 years now." Therefore, the future can be expected.
