Everyone still wonders about what the future of augmented reality (AR) will be. It’s still uncertain in some aspects; some even say that there isn’t any improvement in the industry.

In fact, it does make improvements—only slower than it’s ever been before. With the Apple Vision Pro that was released earlier this year, there’s no doubt that more AR products and innovations will keep on coming.

And that’s also proven with AR contact lenses. Many people, probably you, think that there hasn’t been any huge improvement yet.

But when we take a closer look at it, there’s much more that will open up your mind—especially with Mojo Vision releasing its AR contact lens in 2022.

Here, we will share what and how to use AR contact lenses for possible use cases. Let’s read through!

What Are AR Contact Lenses?

Just like its name, AR contact lenses are the usual contact lenses—powered with AR technology and more robust technology.

When people wear AR contact lenses, they can view and access any information without having to wear the usual AR glasses or headsets.

It’s seamless, more simple, and more ergonomic. You can simply place the lens on the surface of your eyes and unlock all the capabilities like using AR/VR glasses or headsets.

Once you wear the lens, you can pop up your AR experiences, all around you.

Use Case Examples of AR Contact Lens

The use of AR contact lenses can be varied—with healthcare taking the lead as one of the most prominent ones.

For example, AR contact lenses can help surgeons when operating patients—especially the beginner ones.

This helps them guide as there’s a 3D/AR simulation running on top of the part, making it easier for them to run the surgery more smoothly.

Also, just like its basic function, AR contact lenses can also help people look more clearly and monitor their health.

In South Korea, a group of scientists from Ulsan National Institute of Science formulated a program to monitor the glucose level in our body, powered with AR visualizations.

Even better, this also helps people with limited vision to be their own “guide” in real life. When they walk around the streets, the AR contact lenses can help detect objects and faces around them with audio commands.

The Future of AR Contact Lenses

So, can we say that AR contact lenses are the future of AR? To be frank, AR contact lenses have been launched back in a few years, and it has been proven to be useful.

So, there’s a chance that AR contact lenses will keep on developing, even adding more capabilities we’ve never imagined before.

In the future, AR contact lenses will be utilized on a much larger and more advanced scale. It’s more than possible that AR contact lenses will let you access cloud-based data storage systems.

Maybe that sounds frightening for you currently. If it were to happen, then we also have to pay attention to the regulation itself—to make sure that it’s not going to be misused.

For now, let’s enjoy what we have now—don’t take it for granted. We’ll see what’s next to come for our upcoming upgrades on AR contact lenses!
