MWC 2025: Xpanceo wants to deliver AI features, supervision, and more from its smart contact lensAmid the increased clamor for AR smart glasses and headsets over the last year, it’s become easy to lose sight of the much more advanced alternative: smart contact lenses. At MWC 2025, though, I got close up with a concept lens from UAE-based, Ukrainian-founded startup Xpanceo.

There’s a sea of near-identical smart glasses on the floor here at MWC, but Xpanceo is actively rejecting the idea of having something obtrusive on your face. The state of the much more formative technology, smart glasses, plus the fact that very few (if any) others operate in this space, is reason enough to remain skeptical.
