MWC 2024: Oppo Unveils the Air Glass 3 XR Smart Glasses Powered by AndesGPT AI Assistant

Anubhav — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 02:57:54 +0000

MWC 2024 brought some exciting news from Oppo as they unveiled the Air Glass 3 XR, setting a new standard for their AI-integrated products. This product is the successor to the Air Glass 2. Oppo’s latest prototype aims to simplify how we use AI, bridging the gap between technology and everyday ease. And these light glasses might be the perfect answer to that problem!

The glasses’ display has a brightness level of up to 1000 nits.

The Air Glass 3 XR, a featherlight device at just 50 grams, is designed for comfort. Its high-quality resin waveguide has a refractive index of 1.70, ensuring a clear view. With a brightness level up to 1000 nits, these glasses are built to perform in any light. These glasses aren’t just about seeing the world with clarity; they’re about interacting with it effortlessly. The standout feature is the vibrant full-color display, which rivals others in its class for visual quality.

Oppo has integrated its AndesGPT AI assistant into the Air Glass 3, allowing for voice commands and touch interactions. Users can control music, take calls, get information, and scroll through photos with a simple command or swipe. The addition of four strategically placed microphones demonstrates Oppo’s focus on delivering clear audio, even in noisy environments.

With devices like Apple’s Vision Pro paving the way for future AR/VR eyewear to make dents in the market, it’s a great chance for other companies to present their own takes on the technology, such as this. Remember when Google Glass came out and wasn’t exactly a hit? Well, maybe it wasn’t the right time for the technology to hit the markets, but times are changing. As more refined iterations of products such as Oppo’s Glasses keep hitting the market, more customer input can help these devices get better. Until then, let’s see how Oppo’s Air Glass 3 XR fares in a somewhat competitive market.

Keep up with Gizmochina’s coverage of MWC 2024 here.

Oppo has unveiled the Oppo Air Glass 2 at its annual technology event, Oppo Inno Day 2022. The Air Glass 2 is a lightweight and durable augmented reality (AR) product, weighing approximately 38 grams. The glasses support image correction and personalisation features, and are almost indistinguishable from regular glasses.

The Air Glass 2 allows users to make phone calls and perform real-time translations, and can also be used with location-based navigation services. It can also be used by those with hearing impairments to convert sounds into text.

The Air Glass 2 follows the launch of the Oppo Air Glass in December last year. The first generation of the Air Glass adopted a monocular split solution, with a customisable frame that can be adapted to various optical lenses. The main body weighs less than 30 grams and the lens thickness is only 1.3 mm.

The lens uses thin and light diffractive waveguide technology, achieving an average eye-catching brightness of 1,400 nits. It also uses a silicon-based Micro LED display with a single pixel of only 4 microns, with a maximum brightness of 3 million nits.

The Air Glass is equipped with the Snapdragon 4100 wearable device platform, and with the portable charging base, the battery life can reach 10.5 hours. In terms of specific functions, the Air Glass supports weather reminders, schedule reminders, speech inscriptions, real-time translation, and walking and cycling navigation.

A couple of months ago, OPPO had unveiled its first wearable smart glasses, dubbed as OPPO Air Glass, making the company’s entry in the assisted reality (AR) category.

Now, the company has confirmed that the OPPO Air Glass will be available for purchase in its home country China from 3rd March for the price of 4,999 yuan (~$791). The OPPO Air Glass will be available for purchase in two color options — Silver Wing and Black Mirror, along with two custom frame kits.

OPPO says that the Air Glass has four main characteristics — Beauty, Lightness, Universality, and Utility. The product aims to become the “third screen” for the users apart from smartphones and smartwatches.

It has a single glass design with a proprietary Spark Micro Projector and cutting-edge micro-LED. It 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. It supports four methods of interaction — touch, voice, hand motions, and head movements.

Under the hood, the product is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 chipset and supports functionalities like weather reminders, schedule reminders, a Health app, and a teleprompter which will benefit users with speeches, presentations, and more.

It also comes with a real-time translation feature 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.

As technology becomes more advanced, gadgets become more compact, because we are able to fit more circuits, more transistors into the device than ever before. Humans started with the giant server, then the computer, then the smartphone, then the smartwatch. And now we can make a smart ring that can fit onto your finger?

Well, the concept of the smart ring is exactly new since the current known player in the smart ring business is Motiv with its Motiv Ring, released back in 2017.

But Oppo is looking to revive the industry as the latest reports from China show that Oppo has been granted patents to develop its own Smart Ring.

An insider from China reports that from the QCC Database, they found that Oppo submitted a patent for its own smart ring, and it was approved by Chinese authorities.

The listing in the database notes that the Oppo Smart Ring is an accessory, not an electronic product, and it is supposed to be a fashion addition to smart glasses. Coincidentally, Oppo just released its first-ever smart glass, the Oppo Air Glass last week.

The Oppo Air Glass are a pair of AR(assisted reality) smart eyeglasses released by Oppo. The glass features futuristic styling with a single lens design and weighs less than 30 grams. 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.

As for other details such as the specs, battery or design of the Oppo Smart Ring, it was not listed within the database. Hopefully, the development of the Oppo Smart Ring is already underway as the concept sounds interesting.

There’s a wide range of use cases for this new AR product from OPPO as it comes with support for functionalities like weather reminders, schedule reminders, a Health app, and a teleprompter for speeches, presentations, and many more scenarios.
