On December 14, OPPO officially launched a new generation of smart glasses Air Glass (referred to as "OPPO Air Glass") at INNO DAY 2021.
Groundbreaking exterior design, as thin as a cicada wing, as light as a feather
OPPO Air Glass pioneered the monocular split design, bringing the ultimate light design to the use of curves. The overall weight of the glasses is less than 30 grams, the lens thickness is only 1.3 mm, is currently the industry's lightest monocular waveguide glasses, the user feels the same as wearing sunglasses, greatly reducing the "foreign body feeling" when using.
OPPO Air Glass appearance is integrated, the fuselage part adopts feather image design, the overall shape is light, just like the feather root in the feather; the lens part breaks through the traditional round or round rectangular design, the whole into the shape of the cicada wing, and then with a gradient silk screen printing, so that the appearance adds a sense of lightness; the mirror body part is slender, and the exquisite structure is stacked with devices including optical machines, PCB motherboards, touch, batteries, dual microphones, speakers and so on.
Self-developed miniature optical machine, cutting-edge Micro LED and 5 high-lens glass lenses
OPPO Air Glass is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100 wearable device platform, which integrates the self-developed Spark micro optical machine, Micro LED and custom optical waveguide technology.
Among them, the Spark micro optical machine is currently the industry's smallest optical machine, only about equal to the volume size of a coffee bean; the optical machine body uses CNC integrated molded metal, integrated 5 pieces of high-lens glass lenses, bringing better heat dissipation and stability, without fear of the use of the environment on the impact of the optical machine display performance.
At the same time, Micro LED display technology can provide up to 3 million nits of display brightness when used, whether in indoor and outdoor complex lighting conditions, it can provide clear and bright display content, greatly improving the user's experience.
OPPO Air Glass uses customized diffractive optical waveguide technology, which supports two display modes of 16 grayscale and 256 gray scale, providing an average eye brightness of 1400 nits, allowing users to see clearer and brighter images. In addition, OPPO selected two pieces of sapphire glass with better permeability and durability to cover the protective waveguide display area with a "sandwich" structure, making the entire display area more robust and durable.
Oppo Air Glass was designed to take into account the needs of refractive error people at the beginning, and specially designed two frames to facilitate the use of people with normal vision and refractive error. In the future, more styles and functions can be selected to meet the needs of more occasions.
Four ways to interact for freer control
OPPO Air Glass provides four interaction methods, including touch, voice, gesture and head control, allowing users to freely choose their favorite interaction method according to their usage habits:
After waking up the intelligent assistant, the user can use the voice to set the basic settings of the glasses and use the basic functions; when pairing oppo Watch, the user can confirm, cancel and switch the application card through the rotation of the palm, fist shaking, etc.; the highly innovative head movement control allows the user to open the notification information by simply bowing his head; gently looking up, the notification can be put away, realizing the new possibility of efficiently obtaining information.
Through a dedicated app, OPPO Air Glass can be used with mobile phones and OPPO Watches that support ColorOS 11 or more. Simply select a different app card in the app and OPPO Air Glass will be able to provide informational notifications from that app.
Rich and diverse innovative applications, two strategic partners
OPPO Air Glass provides users with a rich variety of application cards, including OPPO's own applications and third-party applications, enabling a breakthrough transition from toys to tools for smart glasses. Its own applications include common functions such as weather inquiry, schedule management, and health management.
In its own innovative applications, intelligent translation solves the problem of communication efficiency between different languages. Users only need to pair each other's mobile phones, or turn on the function to have a conversation, the dialogue content will be automatically translated and displayed in the glasses window, and bilingual translation is supported.
The teleprompter function is one of the highlight functions of OPPO Air Glass, which can prompt the user with important information in the glasses window in the scenes of speeches, conferences and other scenarios, providing great convenience for the speaker.
OPPO Air Glass supports teleprompter functionality
Based on the strategic cooperation with Baidu Map, OPPO Air Glass supports baidu map walking and cycling navigation, and can also explore the surrounding environment information through Baidu map.
OPPO has also cooperated with the Key Laboratory of Human Factors and Ergonomics of the China Institute of Standardization, oppo Air Glass has verified the visual comfort and safety under long-term wear through full-featured tests based on practical application scenarios. The two sides also jointly launched the "Near Eye Display Visual Comfort" group standard development project to promote the development of the industry.
In order to promote the development of the XR industry, OPPO Air Glass's SDK will be fully open, including baidu map customization will also be concentrated in the SDK.
It is equipped with OPPO's self-developed micro optical machine and cutting-edge Micro LED, as well as custom diffracted optical waveguide technology, supporting touch, voice, gesture and head control four interactive modes. As the third generation of smart glasses launched by OPPO in the past three years, the birth of OPPO Air Glass marks the true evolution of smart glasses from toys to tools.
Liu Chang, president of OPPO Research Institute, said, "In the future, smart glasses will become the most important 'third screen' in personal life after mobile phones and watches. We are very excited to launch OPPO Air Glass, a smart glasses that is truly accessible to consumers." ”
