At MWC 2023, Xiaomi unveiled augmented reality glasses that work wirelessly. With their Micro Oled screens and their latency of 3 to 50 ms, the Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glasses Discovery Edition are only a concept for the time being.
And if the trend of this MWC 2023 was on the side of AR glasses? After a conference organized on the sidelines of the event to present its Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi unveiled glasses soberly titled Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glasses Discovery Edition during the night. The goal is simple: to highlight the different possibilities of augmented reality devices, all wirelessly.
This is the first time that the brand has launched this type of product, capable of offering an adaptive display at the level of the retina, which adjusts to the light environment. If that sounds a bit fuzzy in terms of functionality at the moment, Xiaomi promises a “hand tracking”a “support for a full range of applications for larger screens” and of course, “leading innovations in cross-device compatibility”.
Wireless connection to a smartphone
From what we understand, the device only works if it is connected to a smartphone using a “broadband connection developed by Xiaomi”. The brand promises low latency (under 3ms) and a “full link” latency of 50ms.
At the technical level, they are based on the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 chip and a 1200 nit Micro Oled screen. Small particularity, the brand promises a high-end display “at the level of the retina”. Clearly, the ideal angular resolution or PPD (pixels per degree) so that the human eye can no longer be bothered is supposed to approach 60. That of Xiaomi’s glasses is 58, which on paper looks good.
Weighing 126g, these glasses are said to have been calibrated using “thousands of head tracking data samples”. XIaomi also integrates a solution called Xiaomi AR Gesture Control. Clearly, we should be able to navigate through the interface of the glasses using our hands, or even “the joints”.
For now, it’s just a concept. No price and no release date have been revealed.
