 "MWC 2024: Oppo showcases new Air Glass 3 XR glasses to take on Meta Smart Glasses, powered by their own AI")
Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo has revealed a prototype of its new Air Glass 3, the latest version of its smart glasses at the ongoing Mobile World Congress. Oppo’s Air Glass series is their own take on smart glasses designed for virtual reality.
These glasses, similar to Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, show real-time information through a colourful display integrated into the lens.
Compared to its previous model, the Air Glass 2, which was lightweight at 38 grams, the new Air Glass 3 is slightly heavier at 50 grams. Oppo mentions that these glasses can be connected to a smartphone and utilize their own AndesGPT AI model.
For now, these glasses are only available in China. Oppo claims that their AI-powered voice assistant can help users with tasks like searching for information and assisting in travel planning.
Like its predecessor, the Air Glass 3 resembles regular glasses and introduces a new resin waveguide to minimize rainbow effects when light passes through. It boasts a peak brightness of 1,000 nits and automatically adjusts brightness. The glasses also feature four microphones for better noise isolation and can connect to Oppo phones running on Color OS 13 or later. Users can activate the AI voice assistant by tapping on the temple of the glasses.
Besides AI features, the smart glasses can play music, make voice calls, and display information. Oppo intends to introduce navigation, timer, translation, and fitness features in future updates. However, it’s uncertain if the Air Glass 3 will remain a prototype like its predecessors.
