Xiaomi has a pretty big presence at this year’s MWC conference and on top of the global launch for the Xiaomi 13 series phones we also got a showcase for a pair of augmented reality (AR) glasses. The Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass as they are called are a concept pair of wireless smart glasses. They pair to your phone or any other device and offer an immersive AR experience free from any wires and dongles. Xiaomi’s AR glasses don’t have any built-in storage so they need to be connected to a host device to work.
The glasses feature two Micro OLED screens
with a free-form light-guiding prism module that outputs content to your eyes.
They boast a peak brightness of up to 1200 nits per eye. Xiaomi also
incorporated three camera modules that are used to map out the user's
surrounding world.
AR Glass boast electrochromic lenses with
immersed mode for complete immersion in the virtual space and transparent mode
for that lets the user see objects from their surroundings. The headset
features a magnesium-lithium alloy structure with carbon fiber elements and
weighs 126 grams. Just like the Meta Quest Pro, Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass
feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 1 platform and support the Snapdragon
Spaces XR developer platform. Xiaomi also developed its own AR Gesture controls
with spatial detection for precise controls and operation.
Latency on the headset is as low as 50ms
with a paired smartphone which Xiaomi claims is on par with the latency you’d
expect from a traditional AR/VR headset hooked via cable.
