2030 Vision
Augmented Reality
Contact Lens Concept
Diploma 2020
Technology as close to the human senses as physically possible.
Relevant information projected directly on to the retina.
Lens
Vision Enhancement
Invisible computing enables augmented reality in a contact lens. Visual and acoustic information exactly when and where it is needed. Controlled by blinking, gestures and voice, information can be easily accessed and interacted with. A whole new world of interfaces emerges.
Lens-Components
Micro Technology At Its Finest
A Cornea Mounted Display (CMD) connected to a processing unit on the outer rim and powered by a graphene-based super capacitor, surrounded by regular silicone hydrogel, to shape the contact lens. Paired with futuristic enhancements like a full color display, zoom function, and external tracking devices, the CMD enables full immersion.
Display Properties
Sitting in the eye, the ultra small 0.3 mm micro LED display obstructs nearly none of the incoming light, which ensures almost no interference with regular vision, while still providing a large field of view projected directly on the retina.
Silicone Hydrogel Layer
Cosmetic Cover Layer
Focus Lens
FPC Ring with Display and Battery
Silikone Hydrogel Layer
Matching Every Eye
A bionic layer of a chemical composite biomimicry enables the lens to adapt to the aesthetics of the human eye, either setting an accent, or blending in perfectly. Which ever is adequate for the moment of use.
When the path ahead is highlighted,
directions become a whole new experience.
Interface
Relevant Information Where It Is Needed
Pulling out a handheld device to access navigation tools or other applications will become obsolete in the near future. The micro LED displays overlay the relevant information onto the real world.
Seeing a greater reality is awesome.
Only hearing it in absolute perfect quality as well is better.
Tracking
Interaction With the Digital Environment
Since sound is key to a great user experience on any media device, it just makes sense to combine the Tracking-System and the Earbuds. These earpieces do not only track the environment with the four LIDAR-Cameras on each tip, they also provide acoustic feedback, which enables visual information mapped directly onto the surrounding. With advanced hand tracking, the information can be easily controlled and interacted with.
Ear-Pieces
Tracking And Acoustic Feedback United
Three Image sensors for stereoscopic capturing of the environment. As well as a microphone and a speaker in order to provide an acoustic feedback as well as voice commands and audio calls.
Entertainment
Enhanced Experience
With a transparency mode the surrounding sounds get amplified and relevant tones become crispier, whereas Background-Noise gets reduced. In noise cancelling mode, media consumption gets an even greater experience. With voice control or gestures, the user can interact with the interface in different use cases.
Honey, I shrunk the components.
Seriously, tech gets smaller every year.
Silicone Rubber and Speaker Mesh
PC-Mount and PCB with Driver and Spool
Processing Unit and Graphene Supercapacitor
Aluminum Shell, Microfone Openingn and Indicator LED
LIDAR-Camera-Module and PC-Lid
One case
to charge them all.
Ecosystem
The Mothership
While having all the pieces in one place, the flat footprint and the round form factor make carrying the Case a delight for every pocket. The flattened surface on the Ear-Piece lid makes sure that the case stands still, when applying or cleaning the Contact lenses.
Storage Solution
To ensure safe and clean storage of the lenses, the container has two sealed chambers with an all-in-one liquid.
Wireless Charging
Whenever in the Case, both the Lenses and the Ear-Pieces get charged wirelessly, thanks to innovative wireless charging technology. The Case itself can be charged on any wireless charging pad out there.
Modest colors to fit every outfit and blend right into any household.

Let's take a look at what's under the hood.

Component Breakdown
Located under the threaded Lid beneath the translucent Polycarbonate housing domes for the lenses sit the two Printed-Circuit-Boards (PCB) with the charging spools to ensure wireless charging for the lenses. The inmold-decorated and halve textured Polycarbonate shell encloses the 17 graphene super capacitors, that power the charging case. The polar arrayed capacitors are followed by the PCB with the charging spools for the Earbuds. At the core, on top of the four center capacitors the central processing unit is located. Connected via a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) based on a Graphene-Polymethylmethacrylat-Composit the processing-unit is connected to the Ear-Bud-Lid that also houses the Wireless-Charging Unit for the case itself. This FPC Concept also serves as a hinge between the Body and the lid. Two neodyme-magnets hold the casing closed. The Case is press-glued together to ensure IPX9 resistance.
