A startup has developed "the world's first truly smart contact lens" with a built-in display.

The company is called Mojo Vision, and its Mojo Lens is the culmination of over a decade of research and development and patent filings (over 100 patents to date). No products have shipped (yet), but the company is currently demonstrating a working prototype.

"After extensive research, development, and testing, we are excited to reveal our product plans and begin sharing the details of this innovative platform," said Drew Perkins, CEO of Mojo Vision. Mojo has a vision of Invisible Computing, where people can get the information they need when they need it and not be swamped or distracted by data when they don't." Technology should be useful, available in the moment, and disappear when we want to focus on the world around us.

Some fancy technology is used here. The built-in display that functions as a contact lens is clearly an accomplishment, but Mojo Vision also claims that it is the smallest and densest display ever, at 14,000 pixels per inch. To put this in perspective, one of the best VR headsets, the Oculus Rift S, has a pixel density of 538ppi.

"Mojo Lens includes the smallest and densest dynamic display ever produced, the world's most power efficient image sensor optimized for computer vision, custom wireless wireless, motion sensors for eye tracking and image stabilization Mojo Vision explains, "Mojo Vision's new system incorporates a number of groundbreaking proprietary technologies, including

In addition to the entertainment and business potential, Mojo Vision hopes to bring its technology to children and adults who are blind or visually impaired through a partnership with the Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The company hopes to provide Enhanced image overlays with real-time contrast and lighting adjustments and zoom capabilities are a few ways in which Mojo Lens could be helpful.

While there are several potential markets, there are also quite a few hurdles. One of them is dealing with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Additionally, according to The Verge, the working prototype is connected to an external battery and processor. Mojo Vision aims for the battery to last all day, and the contact lenses are charged by a proprietary induction system while being disinfected at night.

It is not certain how far away the actual retail product is. However, Mojo Vision has raised over $100 million in investment to date and is led by a team whose backgrounds span tech heavyweights such as Apple, Amazon, Google, HP, and Microsoft.

*Correction: an earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the display was 2 megapixels per inch. The display is actually 14,000 ppi, with a "pixel density" of 2 million ppi.
