Xiaomi Wireless AR Smartglasses Features

Xiaomi Wireless AR Smartglasses are officially known as the Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glass Explorer Edition. We can describe the look as “an oversized pair of Terminator sunglasses”! However, it has a silver finish instead of an all-black one. 

The glasses include a pair of micro-OLED screens, with which you can get full HD visuals with a brightness of 1,200 nits. Two cameras are attached in the front that help to map the environment for the wearer. 

Although Xiaomi Wireless AR Smartglasses is a full pack of technologies, it is not heavy at all!

The prototype is created with carbon fiber and magnesium alloy that make the structure superlight yet sturdy. 

Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glass comes with a self-developed “silicon-oxygen anode battery”. This battery is smaller than a typical lithium-ion battery! The glasses are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 chip.

However, this pair of smart AR glasses does not come with board storage; hence, it has to be connected to another host device to use. 

The Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glasses can be used for 5 hours [180mAh battery], which is more than both Apple Vision Pro [Battery life 2 hours] and Meta Smart Glasses [Battery life 4 hours].    

What Can You Do With Xiaomi Smart Glasses?

Justifying its name Xiaomi Wireless AR Smartglasses is truly wireless. Xiaomi has developed its own “proprietary low-latency communication link”, which is a combination of WiFi and Bluetooth and has a latency of just 50ms. Users who had the opportunity to try the prototype mentioned on the blog “I wore the glasses for over 20 minutes scrolling through TikTok, Instagram, and watching YouTube videos, and I couldn’t detect lag nor any image quality drop off.” 

It means you can wear Xiaomi Wireless AR Smartglasses on the go and for a long time while connected with your devices [wireless] and scroll social media, check messages, or receive a call anytime! When most AR glasses require a cable connection, which is inconvenient sometimes, Xiaomi Wireless Smartglasses are truly ‘hands-free’! 

With Xiaomi Wireless Smartglasses you cannot only watch high-quality videos but enjoy true Augmented Reality. You can project your screen [multiple windows] on the real environment. You can control windows or resize them, just by stretching your hands [hands gesture]! You can also try ‘finger pinch motion’ to grab and move any windows. 

With these pairs of smart glasses, you can also play video games, while you can shoot using machine guns or fight using hand gestures. 

Moreover, you can use virtual switches to turn it on or off the Xiaomi lamp with a hand gesture! Pretty awesome, right?

Another amazing feature of the Xiaomi smart glasses is electrochromic lenses that can be turned black just by tapping on a switch. The thought behind this amazing feature is that when you are watching AR content, you will need the lens to be transparent to project the AR content in the real world. However, when you are watching a video or movie, it is preferable to have a dark screen behind the scenes for better immersion. As Xiaomi smart glasses have electrochromic lenses, it does not need any physical cover like other AR glasses.
