Mojo Lens, Your Eyes and XR Sex

Updated July 14, 2022

Heads Up Displays (HUD) have long been integral to first-person video gaming. Countless science fiction films have utilized some form of Virtual or Extended Reality HUD to enhance their character’s perceptions of reality, either by a cybernetic implant or more conventional wearables like helmets and glasses. Mojo Vision’s recent revelation of its forthcoming Mojo Lens smart contact lenses looks like it could bring the most futuristic and naturalistic implementation of VR and XR into our lives.

The face-covering visors and helmets of Tony “Iron Man” Stark and Metroid’s Samus Aran may provide protection as well as information. Still, for civilian noncombatants, contact lenses are the ultimate goal for everyday XR use. Short of bypassing the eye altogether and heading straight for the visual cortex by way of implant, XR contact lenses promise the most natural means to bring virtual content into frequent everyday use.

Mojo’s 2020 Vision

Mojo Lens sports a high-density monochrome MicroLED display that admittedly doesn’t sound like it’d be much of an aid to porn viewing. The company assured CES 2020 attendees that a multicolor version was to come, adding that Mojo Lens would also sport a 5GHz radio chip for wireless data transmission and receive power from an onboard battery. Standard use of Mojo Lens on a single eye provides contextual information as transparent graphic overlays, processing data and sourcing power from a wirelessly connected smartphone. If the wearer closes their eye, they’ll find a fully occluded VR display. By using Mojo Lens in both eyes simultaneously, fully rendered rich 3D imagery should finally be possible without cumbersome gear holding back our immersion.

Aside from the obvious benefits, it will bring to firefighters, law enforcement and other emergency service workers, health care professionals, drivers and pilots, and industrial technicians, there will be upsides for the sex industry too when Mojo Lens and like tech comes within reach of the average consumer. Expect a further blurring of lines between traditional sex work roles with hybrid pornstar/camgirl/escort characters able to be selected with but a glance. No more shutting yourself off from reality for a virtual (i.e., non-actual) experience. Now you can invite your “date” to take a seat on your sofa, just like a real woman. This brings us much closer to a mode of operation, and levels of realism and immersion that feel incredibly natural, almost organic.

The Blind Leading the Naked

Given that Mojo Lens is an optometric contact lens and therefore unavoidably a medical device, approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will be needed before such a product can come to market. Thankfully, Mojo is involved in the FDA’s Breakthrough Device Program for a fast-tracked review of Mojo Lens’s development and potential for use in aiding users with low vision and other impairments. At this stage, still aimed squarely at the healthcare and critical services industries, these futuristic contact lens aids are still likely to be niche use for years to come.

Mojo Lens isn’t about to change the face of VR porn and its associated forms of adult entertainment immediately. With restriction of movement, a longstanding obstacle to fluid, genuinely immersive virtual interactions, the almost absurdly small form factor of Mojo Lens does offer some marvelous long term potential.

Eye to Eye, Skin to Skin

With haptic “skin” on the horizon in much the same way Mojo Lens shows XR contacts to be, the combination of seamless visual and tactile stimuli will no doubt open VR and XR porn up to huge new discoveries. When our skin is augmented with haptics sensors and triggers, and our eyes and ears carry XR augmentation via contact lens and bone conduction speakers in lieu of bulkier VR viewers and in-ear headphones that limit our ability to merge reality with unreality, we’ll be facing a new degree of expressive, responsive freedom.

Whether you end up using Mojo Lens or some other take on the tech for your VR and XR porn viewing needs, when you’re fapping away without a single physical obstacle in your way, at least part of the credit for that pleasure should go to Mojo.

The Latest Developments

Mojo Vision announced on March 30, 2022, that its Smart Lens project had reached the advanced prototyping stage. The feature complete version of Mojo Vision Smart Lens now contains:

• 14000 pixel-per-inch MicroLED display
• Three eye-tracking sensors: magnetometer, gyroscope, accelerometer
• Image sensor for environmental edge detection
• ARM0 processor for coordinating data flow
• Battery
• 5Ghz radio antenna for communicating with external computational module

Alongside these hardware developments, Mojo Vision has also been advancing the software side of its highly ambitious project. Operating system code and dedicated user experience components accelerate the arrival of an eventual user-ready Smart Lens and show just how promising Mojo Vision’s progress thus far really is.

Mojo Vision Update

The news all those eager for the future of AR were waiting for has finally arrived. Mojo Vision CEO Drew Perkings has become the first person to wear a functioning augmented reality contact lens in the company’s initial stages of human trials.

After 7 years of development, the Mojo Vision lens appears on the cusp of a major breakthrough. Perkings’s experience had him commenting that, although he could physically feel the presence of the lens, it was not uncomfortable. For approximately one hour, Perkings used the Mojo Vision lens and tested its eye-tracking display, a compass app pointing to locations within a space, and a teleprompter app which uses the wearer’s gaze to scroll text. Perkings was not previously aware of what the text would say, but his accurate reading was confirmed by engineers, indicating the lens was working properly and is inching closer to full usability.

Mojo Lens will now move on to further testing with company engineers and designers conducting their own in-eye tests. Though Mojo Lens once seemed to be dwelling in the realm of science fiction, it’s safe to say that fiction is now becoming a fully actualized reality.
