Augmented Reality (AR) products developer and electronics manufacturer, TCL Electronics has released the first binocular full-color MicroLED AR glasses with a few impressive features. The Thunderbird Smart Glasses Pioneer Edition is a holographic, light waveguide pair of AR glasses developed wholly in-house by the company. The design takes into consideration the thin, light, and high bright color display as the first model in the industry to offer a binocular full-color MicroLED holographic waveguide.
The development of the Thunderbird Smart Glasses has taken much of three years as noted by the company. The team developed light wave coupling analysis and optimization algorithms that are at play with the innovative new AR glasses. The development reflects a balance in efficiency, dispersion, and producibility for commercial purposes.
The high refractive index glass wafers helped to significantly reduce the critical angle of total reflection for enhanced viewing in AR. The lightweight nature of the new AR glasses could be linked to the development of optimal single-layer waveguide architecture.
The array of the functionality of the Thunderbird Smart Glasses Pioneer Edition includes basic information prompt, photo sharing, intelligent control, translation, linkage functions, and potential real-world navigation as well as some other exciting functions. These functions imply that the new AR glasses will be a worthy addition to a user’s connected tech ecosystem, with several possibilities.
The product is however not expected to be out within the next year and there is no information yet about the pricing of the product. We expect more details about the potential release date, price, and global availability information for the Thunderbird Smart Glasses Pioneer Edition.
