Eye-mounted Display (EMD) / Augmented Reality Contact Lens

Tectus is developing the underlying technology required to deliver an augmented reality platform that enables information to be instantaneous, unobtrusive, and available hands-free. Tectus envisions a future in which technology becomes so small and discreet that it is practically invisible, and where people can access information that is visible only to them and invisible to everyone else. The technology overlays images and text on the wearer’s natural field of vision without obstructing their view of the world and without the need for bulky goggles or headsets that are awkward, interfere with normal vision, and get in the way of productivity. The solution can be worn all day, is inconspicuous, and display as much or as little information as needed. The solution performs basic HUD-like functions such as displaying text messages, maps, diagrams, and status information, as well as producing geo-located AR imagery such as markers, labels, and 3D virtual objects that appear aligned with objects and locations in the real world. The solution is a breakthrough eyes-up augmented reality system that gives people instant access to information about the world around them; providing them unprecedented levels of productivity, connectivity, and mobility; while being an invisible extension of the user.
