XPANCEO, a Dubai-based company, is creating smart contact lenses with AR capabilities and showcased prototypes at AWE. Founded by Roman Axelrod and Valentyn S Volkov, they aim to fulfill the dream of smart contact lenses after Mojo Vision shifted focus. The prototypes include an AR lens with holographic display, transparent electronics, data reading capabilities, and an intraocular pressure sensor. XPANCEO’s innovative approach includes incorporating their technology into soft hydrogel lenses, setting them apart from Mojo Vision’s hard plastic lenses. While challenges remain, the potential for commercially available smart contact lenses is becoming more tangible thanks to XPANCEO’s progress.
