At the 2023 Mobile World Congress (MWC), Xiaomi unveiled its new prototype Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition, which weighs 126 grams and has a “retina-level” display.
The new AR Glasses are pair of MicroLED screens with a peak brightness of 1,200 nits.
The company said that when PPD (pixels per degree) reaches 60, humans can’t perceive individual pixels. The Xiaomi AR glass display is said to have 58 PPD.
The company says the device uses electrochromic lenses to adjust viewing in different light conditions as well as having a “blackout mode” for a fully immersive experience.
The AR glasses can connect wirelessly to any Snapdragon Spaces-ready smartphone device like the OnePlus 11 and Xiaomi 13 phone series.
Xiaomi’s latest AR device uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR 2 Gen 1 platform with support for the Snapdragon Spaces XR development platform to run different applications.
