OPPO, a Chinese firm and one of the world’s biggest smartphone makers unveiled prototype AR glasses with voice assistant at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
OPPO said the AR glasses are equipped with a voice assistant powered by its large language model (LLM) called AndesGPT. LLMs are AI models trained on massive data and underpin many chatbots.
“The Air Glass 3 prototype from Oppo aims to explore the possibilities of AI technology based on cross-device collaboration between XR devices and smartphones,” OPPO said.
OPPO said in a press release that the voice assistant is only available in China.
The chatbot can “perform information searches and conduct conversations to assist users in tasks like planning travel,” Oppo said.
Weighing just 50 grams, the Oppo Air Glass 3 features a self-developed resin waveguide with a refractive index of 1.70, a display brightness uniformity of more than 50%, and a peak eye brightness of more than 1,000 nits.
Together, these ensure the Oppo Air Glass 3 provides a wearing experience close to a regular pair of glasses while also providing the best full-colour display.
Thanks to the access to Oppo AndesGPT provided by the Air Glass APP on the smartphone, users only need to lightly press the Oppo Air Glass 3 temple to activate the AI voice assistant and begin performing a range of tasks.
The XR Glass 3 also supports touch interaction, which allows users to easily control functions such as music playback, voice calls, information display, colour image browsing, and more.
The glasses also feature reverse sound field technology, an open acoustic design with four microphones, and other innovations that improve noise isolation to deliver high audio quality and enhanced privacy protection.
