The Chinese tech giant OPPO kicked off the OPPO INNO Day 2021 event earlier today (14th December 2021). OPPO unveiled several new technologies and products through this event, including the OPPO Air Glass.
OPPO unveiled the first assisted reality (AR) smart glass offering from the company, the OPPO Air Glass. The glass features futuristic styling with a single lens design and weighs less than 30 grams. Additionally, the Air Glass is designed to snap onto custom frames offered by OPPO using magnetic components housed inside the Air Glass frame.
Specs and features of the OPPO Air Glass
The OPPO Air assisted reality glass has a single glass design with a proprietary Spark Micro Projector and cutting-edge micro-LED. OPPO Air Glass adopts a custom optical diffraction waveguide, supporting two display modes – 16-level grayscale and 256-level grayscale – and can deliver up to 1400 nits in average brightness while projecting, ensuring a vivid and sharp visual display in different lighting conditions. The waveguide on both sides is encased in two layers of scratch-resistant Sapphire glass.
The device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 4100 SoC. It features functionalities like weather reminders, schedule reminders, a Health app, and a teleprompter which will benefit users with speeches, presentations, and many more scenarios.
In addition to that, the smart-glass also features real-time translation with support for Chinese-English two-way translation while Chinese-Japanese and Chinese-Korean translations are slated to be offered in the future. Another important feature baked into the smart-glass is the real-time on-display navigation which provides directions via visual queues to guide you to your destination.
The smart glass is also capable of seamlessly syncing with OPPO smartphones enabled with ColorOS 11 and above version via the Smart Glass App and even the OPPO Watch 2.
With the OPPO Air Glass, the company brings you four intuitive methods of interaction – touch, voice, hand motions, and head movements. The touch functionality can be accessed on the side frame of the glass that houses a capacitive touchpad. While hand gestures can only be accessed when wearing the OPPO Watch 2. The voice and head movement interaction functionality are built into the Air Glasses and can be accessed by voice commands and slight movements of the head like a nod or a shake.
Price and Availability
OPPO Air Glass is due to launch in Q1 2022 in the Chinese Mainland market. The device will be available in two colors Black or White, along with two custom frame options. The price of the device has not been revealed yet but we expect more information on it as we get closer to its market release date.
