OPPO shares first details on Air Glass 2 glasses and MariSilicon Y audio chip

OPPO will share the first details of the Air Glass 2 glasses and its own Bluetooth social audio under the name MariSilicon Y during Anthem Day 2022. No release date or price has been announced for either product yet.

OPPO has so far revealed few technical details about the Air Glass 2, only various functions that the assistive reality glasses would support. The glasses, according to the brand, have the “first diffractive waveguide lens SRG”, developed by OPPO to support vision correction. In addition, Air Glass 2 allows users to make phone calls, get real-time translations, navigate and convert conversations into text for the hard of hearing. Many of these features, aside from vision correction, have already been introduced in the first Air Glass implemented.

In addition, OPPO shares the specifications of the new MariSilicon Y audio chipset, the “sequel” of the MariSilicon X, although that npu served an entirely different function. With MariSilicon Y, according to the Chinese brand, lossless Bluetooth audio can be streamed with a data transfer rate of 12MB/s. This goes hand in hand with OPPO’s Ultra Resolution Lossless Codec codec technology. This would allow for a 192kHz sample rate with 24-bit audio resolution.

For the production of the chip, OPPO relies on TSMC’s N6RF technology, which reduces the energy requirements of the Bluetooth SOC and requires the overall chipset to be smaller than a 16nm chip.
