XPANCEO, founded in 2021, is revolutionizing human interaction with technology by developing smart contact lenses that integrate digital information with the physical world.
At Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, XPANCEO showcased prototypes demonstrating their vision of invisible, weightless computing through smart contact lenses.
XPANCEO's innovative technology aims to create an 'eXtended Reality experience' by seamlessly blending digital information with the real world.
The company's prototypes include smart contact lenses for wireless power transfer, biosensing for health monitoring, and intraocular pressure (IOP) sensors for glaucoma management.
Their lenses feature advanced technology such as wireless powering systems, biosensors for biomarker monitoring, and nearly invisible optical patterns for IOP monitoring.
XPANCEO's technical achievements include ultra-miniaturized display components, flexible electronic conductors, compact IOP sensors, and nanoparticle-enhanced biosensors for tear fluid analysis.
The company's approach of distributed computing, with companion devices handling power delivery and data processing, ensures that the lenses remain thin and comfortable.
The smart contact lenses have the potential to reshape human-computer interaction by seamlessly integrating technology into daily life, offering ubiquitous and frictionless access to digital information.
XPANCEO envisions a future where technology recedes from conscious awareness, creating a world where digital information is available within our visual field without the need for deliberate physical interaction.
With their transformative technology, XPANCEO is paving the way for a future where computing becomes nearly imperceptible, enhancing human capabilities while fading into the background.
