As a part of its Inno Day 2022 bulletins, smartphone model Oppo has unveiled the 2nd technology of its sensible glasses: the Air Glass 2.

Regardless of solely asserting the primary technology Air Glass system a 12 months in the past at Inno Day 2021 (and launching it at first of 2022) Oppo already has plans to launch a brand new and improved model of the specs. The obvious change is that the unique’s monocle design has been morphed right into a pair of full-frame glasses, however Oppo guarantees that the enhancements are greater than pores and skin deep.

For a begin, the Air Glass 2 glasses may be outfitted with vision-correcting lenses – permitting them to carry out as not solely a sensible system however a pair of normal specs too. The glasses are additionally super-lightweight at simply 38g, so that you shouldn’t really feel too fatigued sporting them in your face all day.

As for his or her performance, newly added microphones and audio system enable the system to play music, make cellphone calls, translate international languages and supply real-time voice-to-text transcription. Better of all, the Oppo Air Glass 2 maintains the unique’s wi-fi design; in contrast to the Nreal Air and VITURE One glasses, you will not want a cable to pair these specs to your Oppo smartwatch or smartphone. 

As spectacular as these glasses sound, we hope they don’t endure from the identical points as their predecessor.

Whereas attempting out the unique Air Glass, The Verge’s Adi Robertson (opens in new tab) discovered the expertise to be fairly uncomfortable. The almost certainly causes for this irritation are the system’s low display contemporary price – simply as in VR, noticeable display flicker at shut vary may be nauseating – and that the one lens is forcing every of the wearer’s eyes to focus at totally different distances on the identical time.

Oppo has reportedly improved the Air Glass 2’s lenses and its Micro-LED projectors, and with the transition to a dual-lens setup these new specs ought to have a design that alleviates each of those points. Nevertheless, we’ll must strive them out to know for positive.

Our different concern is that the wi-fi and feature-packed but light-weight design will end in these sensible specs having a really brief battery life. We’ve seen how sensible glasses have guzzled the cost of smartphones they’re plugged into, so if the Air Hyperlink 2 specs aren’t packing a big sufficient battery you is perhaps unable to make use of them for prolonged intervals of time.

That’s, in case you can really pay money for them. Proper now there’s no phrase on a launch date, worth, and even whether or not the Oppo Air Glass 2 will likely be obtainable in areas exterior of China and Asia. On condition that the unique Oppo Air Glass didn’t get a worldwide launch, we would not suggest holding your breath for a US, UK, or Australia launch.

That stated, with AR glasses turning into more and more mainstream, we would not be too shocked if Oppo determined to make use of the Air Glass 2 to muscle in on this rising market globally in 2023.
