Mojo Vision Lens
The Mojo Vision Lens was a prototype augmented reality smart contact lens developed by Mojo Vision. Demonstrated on-eye in June 2022 (on CEO Drew Perkins), the lens featured the world's smallest micro-LED display at 0.5mm diameter with 14,000 PPI and 1.8-micron pixel pitch, integrated ARM M0 processor, 5 GHz proprietary radio, medical-grade micro-battery, and eye-tracking IMU sensors. The scleral lens design sat on the white of the eye for comfort while delivering AR information directly to the wearer's vision. Mojo Vision pivoted in 2023 from consumer contact lens development to supplying micro-LED display technology to other companies.[1]
