The France- and Dubai-based deep-tech company and energy-storage maker said the proof of concept safely embeds the battery inside a lens using multi-stage sealing and wireless energy harvesting.
The design aims to power demanding functions such as augmented reality displays while avoiding the leakage, swelling, overheating and bulk risks associated with conventional lithium-ion batteries.
The companies said ITEN’s ceramic-based, nanoporous solid-state technology could be manufactured at scale, potentially easing a key commercialization hurdle for everyday smart lenses.
As prototypes still need external power, can this battery breakthrough truly deliver a standalone smart lens for everyday use?
