Oppo Air Glass – glasses that translate now launched

At Oppo’s Inno Day event this year, a gadget was presented that can be compared to a pair of AR glasses called Oppo Air Glass, but Oppo themselves believe that it is an aR product, with a little a. Somewhat confusing, but we will explain. AR stands for Augmented Reality, meaning that 3D objects are projected onto reality via a screen, aR on the other hand is so-called Assisted Reality. This means that it can only project information in 2D.

Air Glass consists of two different parts, a pair of spectacle frames, either with corrective glass, or without glass, and a part that snaps on the frame and contains the projector and a lens on which the information is projected.

The projector should be as big as a coffee bean and can project information in brightnesses up to 1400 nits to be able to present things in even very bright environments.

Air Glass can be controlled via hand movements (if you have a watch), a touch panel or through main movements. Via Air Glass, you should be able to get information about, for example, weather, calendar, health measurement, navigation and a teleprompter. It should also be able to help you with translations, that is, it listens to what is being said and projects the translation on the glass so that you can read. To be able to use the product, you need an Oppo phone with ColorOS11 or later, if you want to pair a watch, you need an Oppo Watch 2.

As it stands now, Oppo Air Glass will be launched in China during the first quarter of next year. There is as yet no information on launch in other countries.
