#3I'm sure I'm not the target market - but: I don't want this. This technology has a use case, I'm sure. But it's not me. I want less distraction, less way for crappy social media companies to mine me. No thanks.

#4Impressive. The usefulness of this kind of device is probably completely distinct from what you'd get with anything coming from Apple or Meta. Purely functional sight augmentation. Looks they're going for the sight-impaired market first, but I can imagine some uses in industry or military too.

Industry I doubt. No problem having factory workers wear big AR goggles. Military for sure.

#6Call me skeptical, but looking at that photograph it looks nothing like something I want to put in my eyes.
This product is way too much of a moonshot - the product is nowhere near ready for consumers, the technology doesn't appear to be there, and I can't imagine them being able to release anything other than a tech demo for many years.
There is a reason that all the research in contact lenses to date has been to make them as light and thin as possible.
Companies can't really make a standard contact lens that lasts more than a month without compromising on comfort and it sliding around your eyeball - so how we think they are going to solve that PLUS add a battery and a load of electronics and make it something people will actually want to wear is a mystery to me.
No doubt eventually this level of technology will come, but I can't see it coming in the timelines required for Mojo to be a commercial success (unless there is some other plan to commercialise the IP).

#7Software is eating the world but the future world is made with hardware. Companies like these are the future.

They have a functioning prototype. Who are you and why does your opinion matter? (I’m just sick of skepticism automatically being associated with intelligence).

I have a pretty cut and dry rule of not putting anything that can catch fire directly on my eyeball.

I'm extremely wary of putting high energy density chemicals into or near my eyes. Not unless there's a medical need or millions of hours of testing on other people first.
