Lenstore introduces iLens, is the world’s first smart contact Lens. It has worked with Richard Watson, a futurologist and author to bring to life what the future of smart contact lenses may look like.
Among the expected abilities of the iLens are:
Measuring social distance
It will enable you to stay safe against infection by keeping a 2m distance from other people in only a glance with Instant Measuring.
Ability to help you reduce screen time
The iLens will give real-time reminders to let you know when you’ve been staring at a screen for too long and to take a break. It will go as far as blocking out a screen if you continue to look.
Following the 20-20-20 rule, it can remind a user to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes, a helpful trick to reduce eye strain and prevent any long-term problems with our eyes.
Allowing you to rewatch your memories
The iLens will record your memories in a blink of an eye, so you can watch them again and again. Lenstore adds that this will work via Bluetooth connectivity, so once you’ve stopped recording your memories, they will instantly save to your phone, allowing you to re-watch as often as you want.
Air quality measurement
The iLens will include a feature that encourages an environmentally friendly future, as it will monitor and record air quality, providing the user with alerts. There will be an additional feature of measuring elements such as the pollen count – giving users a warning of when to take a hayfever tablet.
Enhance your eyesight
It will enable you to enhance your eyesight with up to 60x digital zoom.
Other features:
These include:
- Fitness alerts – reminders to keep active and moving
- Ability to see in the dark – through adjusted lighting.
The Lenstore website states that the iLens will be released in 2021.
