Augmented Reality on Your Eyeball

Post by L'Emmerdeur » Mon Sep 07, 2020 3:52 am

These wizards say that at some point soon, they'll have contact lenses with the capability of displaying data to the wearer available for sale.

'The making of Mojo, AR contact lenses that give your eyes superpowers'
This audacious idea is part of a much larger trend. In the coming decade, it’s likely that our computing devices will become more personal and reside closer to—or even inside—our bodies. Our eyes are the logical next stop on the journey. Tech giants such as Apple and Facebook are just now trying to build AR glasses that are svelte enough to wear for extended periods. But Mojo is skipping over the glasses idea entirely, opting for the much more daunting goal of fitting the necessary microcomponents into contact lenses.

...

I had no idea that displays not much bigger than a grain of sand even existed. But there it was, under the view of a microscope, displaying an image of Albert Einstein sticking his tongue out at me. Mojo’s newest and smallest display, it squeezes 70,000 pixels into a space that’s less than half a millimeter across.

This display is the centerpiece of the Mojo lens. It’s positioned directly in front of the pupil, so that it projects and focuses light toward a specific area of the retina at the back of the eye. The display is so small and so close that the eye can scarcely see it. At least in the beginning, its quality will be more utilitarian than aesthetically pleasing—you don’t need stunning quality to perform tasks such as display weather information.

You haven't noticed anything?

In that case the operation was an outstanding success.

On the lens thing, I reckon advertisers would be salivating at the promise of being able to beam adds straight to your eyeballs.

Why not just stimulate the relevant areas of the brain? Cut out the middle man...

I don't use contact lenses because having to fiddle things into and out of my eye would be a horror. I couldn't do it. I sometimes even already get lost while picking my nose.

So, I am also waiting for the direct brain implant.

Well, I wouldn't use those things either... I once used a lens over my bad eye, but had to stop, because either I had developed a dryness in the eye, or the parisian pollution was just too irritating for me to continue using that device... and if I can't use one for health reasons, I'm not using one for anything more frivolous.
