A few days ago we reported a Xiaomi patent for a future pair of AR glasses. Well, today the subsidiary "Xiaomi Mobile Software Co." seems to have obtained a patent for “Optical-mechanical waveguide components and AR glasses”.
Xiaomi patents a new technology for the production of AR glasses
The patent excerpt shows that the optomechanical waveguide assembly includes a bracket, an optomechanical assembly, a waveguide, and a dioptric adjustment assembly. The optomechanical unit and the wave guide are used to emit and transmit the image beam respectively, and the dioptric adjustment unit is used to adjust the focal length of the image.
This model optical-mechanical waveguide set allows for adjustment of the imaging focal length of the image beam, which facilitates the use of visually impaired people and improves the user experience.
But why does Xiaomi focus on AR glasses so much? Well, the fact that smartphones have become more and more monotonous, with increasingly larger screens and which differ mainly in the type of front camera, that is with hole, with horizontal notch or teardrop, certainly helps to increase interest in something different regarding the method of user interaction.
AR glasses indeed bring a very different user experience and if equipped with good positioning technology, they can provide users with multiple virtual screens at the same time, thus bringing a new experience.
As if that weren't enough, the mass production of several AR glasses that can be used with smartphones to create a virtual multiscreen and new interactive experience could prompt users to consider switching to new devices to improve their user experience. with this new product category. A bit like the release of new heavier games pushes many to upgrade their PC.
There is therefore a possibility that AR glasses could become the next growth point for many smartphone manufacturers.
What do you think of this theory? Do you agree or do you think that AR glasses will never go mainstream? Let us know below!
