The new consumer-grade smart glasses Thunderbird Air, which was jointly incubated by TCL Electronics and TCL Industry, a cutting-edge AR enterprise, began today (April 19) on the Jingdong Mall. This new smart glasses product positioned at a thin and comfortable entertainment screen can provide users with an immersive experience equivalent to a large high-definition screen at a distance of 4 meters and 140 inches. At the same time, Thunderbird Air has also made an important breakthrough in lightweighting, with bare metal weighing only 69 grams, the lightest record in the industry in the same form.
The biggest feature of Thunderbird Air smart glasses is the use of polarized BirdBath optical technology, which can create a visual experience equivalent to watching a 140-inch high-definition large screen at a distance of 4 meters. Users only need to connect mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other devices that support DP function with Thunderbird Air, and they can easily project the content on the small screen to the glasses and enjoy a 140-inch HD wide field of view, equivalent to a 140-inch HD giant screen theater that can be carried around. In addition, even devices that do not support DP, such as iPhones, can be connected to Thunderbird Air with the help of adapters. While expanding the screen, Thunderbird Air relies on sony Micro OLED display, which can support 1920*1080 binocular full HD display, and can achieve 100,000:1 ultra-high contrast ratio, making the picture more vivid, the color more gorgeous, and achieving a better experience.
In view of the discomfort and even vertigo caused by the bulky form of traditional smart glasses, Thunderbird Air has achieved a comprehensive upgrade from material, process to structure. Thanks to the new nylon material, the spectacle temples are not only lightweight but also lightweight, the bare metal weighs only 69 grams, and the standard front lens is only 75 grams, which is the lightest in the industry in the same form.
As a consumer-level entertainment screen, Thunderbird Air can currently cover many scenes such as movie watching, games, and offices. With the help of Thunderbird Air, users can not only get a more immersive large-screen experience, but also get rid of the shortcomings of traditional large-screen display devices such as large size and inconvenience to move, so that the giant screen is more free. In addition, Thunderbird Air has also created an exclusive APP and provided 3D film and video and game resources to unlock more AR gameplay. Users can turn on global mode and shortcuts to present more information simultaneously on a wider screen. In terms of interaction, the user can control the spatial field of view by turning the head, or they can hold the mobile phone and use the ray to experience the touchless sense of control.
It is worth mentioning that for the inconvenience of wearing glasses when using smart glasses, Thunderbird Air can also provide "customized glasses service", and users only need to provide myopia degree information to purchase additional glasses service. Thunderbird Air custom lenses can not only cover most of the degree needs but also take into account the vision problems of myopia such as astigmatism, so as to adapt to more people. Thunderbird Air custom lenses are magnetically designed for easy installation.
AR/VR is considered a new track with great market potential that is expected to surpass PCs and smartphones. Especially with the advent of the 5G + AI era and the explosion of the concept of "meta-universe", the XR industry has begun to "return to the outlet" in recent years. The inflection point of China's XR industry has also arrived, and it is about to enter the stage of large-scale application, and the popularization of its technology is also the trend of the times. With the accumulation and precipitation of technology in the fields of optics, display, algorithms and other fields, as well as the technical operation advantages in user scenarios such as video and games, the development of Thunderbird Innovation on the XR track is worth looking forward to. Previously, it developed the industry's first binocular full-color MiroLED holographic optical waveguide AR glasses, which achieved industry leadership in performance indicators.
