Welcome To The World’s First Wide Field of view AR/VR Smart Contact Lens with peripheral and focused vision
Our Technology speaks to the Following Ideas:
“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
~ Henry David Thoreau
“Everyone takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.”
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
"The eyes are the gateway to the soul.”
~ Herman Melville
At Smart Contact Lens Inc., in partnership with RaayonNova, we are developing a unique, futuristic, and revolutionary AR & VR-enabled smart contact lens (SCL) system with an embedded display. Our SCL technology plugs into the sense of sight to deliver information in an enabling and enriching fashion.
Our Mission: the great philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer once said, “Everyone takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.”
Thus, our mission is to expand the limits of the world by expanding what we see.
Industries we target:
The industries we target include: healthcare, financial services, consumer electronics, transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, military, science, space, construction, technology, telecom, education, hospitality, and many other industries.

Patents Pending
SCL WITH TERP DETERMINATION AND TRACKING CAPABILITY
An SCL capable of determining and tracking TERP (task-evoked pupillary response). This unprecedented feature enables adaptive, predictive, reactive, and behavior-tracking systems and applications.
SCL WITH EMBEDDED DISPLAY AND ACCOMMODATION AND REFOCUS CAPABILITY
Enabling a smart contact lens with an embedded display to accommodate and refocus, displaying imagery on an embedded display which comes into focus at the center of the display, right in front of the retina. The image on the display shifts according to the accommodation and refocus efforts of the user’s eyes.
SCL WITH EMBEDDED DISPLAY AND 2D OR 3D ORIENTATION SENSORS.
A smart contact lens with 2D or 3D orientation sensors. Such an SCL is capable of determining and tracking gaze vectors.
