Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition were introduced

Xiaomi introduced mixed reality glasses with the complicated name of Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition. This is a competitor to the future glasses from Cupertino.

Functions

The company showed a video in which they talked about the possibilities of accessories. Glasses can be synchronized with a smartphone by simply touching the bracket (NFC technology). Then a virtual desktop with applications appears before the user's eyes. What you can do with Wireless AR Glass:

• Flip through the feeds of social networks;
• Watch movies on a virtual screen;
• Work in a browser;
• Work with applications in window format;
• Control your smart home – the control panel will appear when you look at the device, for example, on a smart lamp;
• Display “quick” information (weather, time, navigator);
• Take pictures – there are built-in cameras;
• Change the transparency of the lenses (from transparent to sun protective);
• Switch between virtual and real worlds.

What is known about them

The glasses are made of carbon fiber and magnesium-lithium alloy. The glasses received three cameras: two on the sides and one in the middle. On the brackets of the device there are touch panels for control. Let's be more specific, control of applications inside VR takes place due to hand gestures. There are miniature OLED screens with a projection mechanism under the glass. According to the manufacturer, the brightness of the displays is 1200 nits. It is unclear whether such brightness will somehow affect human vision. According to the published photos and videos, it is clear that the glasses are not very compact and look bulky. Perhaps this will become a key disadvantage of the accessory during the start of sales.

The second disadvantage: the glasses cannot be folded. Xiaomi is still keeping the price and specifications of the Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition a secret. Maybe, they will go on sale earlier than the “apple” analogue, which is expected to be released in the summer of 2023.
