Oppo announces the second concept of AR glasses

After releasing its first AR eyewear concepts a year ago, Oppo today announced its second Oppo AR Glass 2021 AR eyewear concept machine at its annual Future Technology Conference event. Compared to the previous all-in-one solution, this product needs to use an external USB-C mobile phone to perform data calculations (when connected to Snapdragon 865 based Find X2 Pro, CPU and GPU performance increases up to 40% ). However, thanks to this design, the device is 75% lighter than the previous generation. And its appearance has become closer to the traditional style of glasses, the look and feel of wearing them and the comfort have been improved.

In the display part, Oppo AR Glass 2021 has chosen the Birdbath optical solution. After the virtual image has been displayed on the double 0.71 inch OLED panel, it will be refracted by the beam splitter to the human eye and then superimposed on the real environment seen through the concave optical lens. Compared to last year’s concept machine, the new model has improved contrast and brightness uniformity by 53% and 98% respectively, and the pixel density within each degree of field of view has also increased by 40%. In addition, the device also has a full-width speaker based on a semi-open rear cavity sound design. With the display effect “like watching a 90-inch screen at a distance of 3 meters”, Oppo AR Glass 2021 claims to provide “a comparable home theater experience”.

This device has a binocular fisheye camera, built-in ToF module and RGB sensor. Such hardware base brings 6DoF function and spatial positioning accuracy within 1 degree and can also be used in every hand. There are two key points (4 points on each finger) to achieve “millisecond” hand detection and tracking. Not surprisingly, Oppo also plans to add voice interaction with its Breeno assistant to AR Glass 2021, allowing users to connect with the virtual world in a “natural and intuitive” way.

In addition to AR hardware, Oppo today also announced the CybeReal app on mobile to further enrich its AR ecosystem. This application can use “full-time high-precision scene recognition and positioning technology” based on GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, network information, AI, SLAM real-time local map building algorithm, to create a cloud service driven by Oppo “and The digital world where the real world is seamlessly integrated. Conceptually, it is quite similar to Huawei’s Hetu technology. Specific for real applications, mobile phones will be able to use CybeReal to offer users the internal navigation, the instant introduction of viewpoints or company information, and the AR visualization of products. Oppo also hopes to further expand the use of CybeReal with partners and developers.

Finally, Oppo also took the opportunity of the Future Technology Conference to announce that its AR developer co-creation plan will be officially launched in 2021. This will include developer recruitment, developer communication and developer support projects. . Oppo will also provide end-side SDKs and development tool chains to help developers create a “high-value, cross-device” AR user experience.
