Xiaomi, a leading Chinese technology company, is at the World Congress of mobile telephony in 2023 unveiled its latest prototype, wireless AR glasses. These glasses blur the line between the real and virtual worlds, offering users an immersive digital experience like never before.
The glasses have two MicroOLED displays that provide a flexible retina-level display that adapts to the lighting environment for a clear and sharp image. The Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 platform and Xiaomi's proprietary low-latency communication link ensure a wireless connection to smartphones with a latency of only 3ms1, making the glasses highly responsive and seamless to use.
Xiaomi has paid special attention to the comfort and design of the glasses, making them from a lightweight magnesium-lithium alloy, carbon fiber parts and a self-developed silicon oxygen anode battery for a total weight of only 126 grams. Sleek and stylish frames make the glasses not only functional but also fashionable.
Gesture control is one of the key features of wireless AR glasses. It allows users to quickly jump between virtual reality and real-life environments, making the glasses very versatile. Users can manipulate the digital world with hand gestures, offering a new form of user interaction. In the concept video, a user can be seen deactivating the smart light by pressing a virtual switch that hovers above the device itself.
Glasses are a part of Qualcomm's plans, to leverage its platform Snapdragon Spaces to improve XR devices. When paired with a compatible device like the new Xiaomi 13, the Xiaomi hardware promises low latency, ensuring that the lack of a wire goes unnoticed. The company also stated that it will work closely with developers to speed things up arrival of AR, making it a priority in the still emerging space.
