The first generation was revealed last year with advanced technologies
The last Oppo Future Technology Conference happened in December 2019. During the event, the company announced its investment in the AR Glasses technology and showcased its first AR glass. The first generation of OPPO AR Glasses came with four lenses. We had a ToF lens used for distance measurements and an RGB lens for shooting object shapes and two fisheye lenses used for imaging. It’s a pretty advanced setup and we are curious to see what Oppo has in tow with the second generation.
According to rumors, the new AR glass will come with depth sensors and spatial MIC arrays. It will make use of diffractive optical waveguide technology and will support voice interaction and 3D surround sound. The new wearable will also boast a microphone and physical buttons.
