BEIJING, December 14 (TMTPOST) -Chinese smartphone maker OPPO has launched its new generation of OPPO Air Glass at its OPPO INNO DAY 2021.
Smart glasses are elegant, light, useful and of universal use, according to OPPO. The company believes that smart glasses will become the third display that users will carry around after smartphones and smartwatches. OPPO describes Air Glass as an “assisted reality” product.
OPPO Air Glass adopts specially-designed frames and uses a micro projector to overlay information directly in front of users’ eyes. The inside of the customized frame has a magnetic port that allows it to be attached to more conventional glasses.
The Air Glass weighs just 30g and its lens is 1.3mm thin. Its in-house Spark micro projector is among the most compact in the industry at just 0.5cc, about the size of a coffee bean. The product uses a customized optical diffraction waveguide, which can effectively increase transmittance and reduce glare, capable of up to 3 million nits peak brightness.
The Air Glass has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100 processor and could last for 3 hours of active usage and 40 hours on standby, according to OPPO.
The product can be operated through touch, voice command, hand tracking and head tracking.
OPPO introduced several use cases for the OPPO Air Glass at the launch conference, including message notification and real-time translation. OPPO has worked with Baidu Map to provide Air Glass users with a more immersive and smooth navigation experience by projecting 2D information before users for guidance. OPPO Air Glass can also work as a teleprompter. Users only need to sync their scripts to their smartphone and adjust font and font size accordingly to use the teleprompter function.
OPPO Air Glass is scheduled to start sales in spring next year. Some OPPO fans will be selected to try out the product in Q1 next year. However, OPPO Air Glass will be sold only in mainland China as it"s a " limited release" in Q1.
