[Gearbest News]Recently, the 2023 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2023) officially opened in Las Vegas, USA. The cutting-edge AR brand Thunderbird Innovation launched a new generation of binocular full-color MicroLED light waveguide AR glasses Thunderbird at the exhibition. X2. It is reported that Thunderbird X2 adopts the industry's best MicroLED + diffractive optical waveguide solution and has achieved significant breakthroughs in key technologies such as MicroLED full-color display, optical waveguide brightness, and fully self-developed light engine precision and miniaturization.
Thunderbird X2 was released overseas as RayNeo X2. It uses MicroLED + diffractive optical waveguide full-color binocular display solution, is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 professional computing chip platform, and is equipped with a 16-megapixel high-definition camera. Thunderbird X2's perception, interaction, and virtual-real integration functions have been significantly improved, and it can provide users with immersive English learning, intelligent translation, real-time navigation, information reminders, quick photography and other scene services, creating a convenient and efficient AR experience.
From the structural form, Thunderbird X2 adopts a simple wireless integrated design, and the overall shape is similar to ordinary glasses, which can meet the needs of daily wear. In terms of display optics, Thunderbird X2's 8-bit MicroLED full-color light engine can present 16.77 million colors and 100,000:1 contrast. The image brightness coupled by the optical waveguide lens is as high as 1000 nits, which can meet the needs of different indoor and outdoor scenes.
The fully upgraded Thunderbird X2 can combine information with real and virtual scenes in daily life, entertainment, office and other scenarios, transforming into a smart assistant to create a new perspective and lifestyle for users.
AR glasses allow information to be presented instantly in three-dimensional space, and the whole world in front of you becomes deducible, calculable, and deeply transformable. Take the translation function as an example. When talking face to face, the directional sound-receiving MIC of Thunderbird X2 will accurately obtain the words of the target of gaze, and automatically detect and translate the conversation. The whole process first realizes the visual perception, positioning and sound filtering and collection of the conversation object, then performs voice recognition and calculation, and then converts the calculation results into visible visual information and adds them to the three-dimensional space of the specified position. Perception, calculation, and then virtual and real fusion, a complete AR process. When reading foreign books, Thunderbird X2 can quickly identify and translate the text at the fingertips, breaking the key barriers to language learning. Similarly, it can also open up a more efficient and convenient way of communication in business exchanges, travel shopping, digital social networking and other situations.
Thanks to the local integration of Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2's professional and powerful computing platform, Thunderbird X2's visual SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) and gesture recognition realize intelligent GPS navigation. During the movement, Thunderbird X2's screen information can be updated in real time with the user's itinerary, facilitating quick positioning and interaction, making travel more worry-free. In addition, Thunderbird X2 is equipped with a 16-megapixel high-definition camera that supports static photos, videos, and time-lapse photography, which can record wonderful moments in life.
For a long time, AR glasses for the consumer market have been difficult to achieve four key features at the same time: lightweight, natural display, all-weather scenes, and virtual-real integration. As a breakthrough consumer-grade true AR glasses, Thunderbird X2 truly leads the key technologies of well-known manufacturers and innovative brands in the field.
In the field of optical display, the combination of MicroLED and optical waveguide technology is currently recognized by the industry as the optimal solution for the ultimate form of consumer-grade AR glasses. However, due to the high overall technical difficulty of this solution, some manufacturers have chosen a monocular single green or binocular single green solution, which cannot provide full-color binocular display and other display effects that AR glasses should match the natural vision of the human eye. Faced with industry challenges, the Thunderbird innovation and R&D team has persisted in continuous investment for many years and focused on technical research. On the Thunderbird X2, a 0.7cc ultra-small full-color MicroLED light engine component, a diffraction optical waveguide with a 3-fold increase in high-efficiency brightness, and a micron-level binocular fusion natural display effect were developed. This is the first to achieve binocular full-color high-brightness display under the lightweight volume required by consumer-grade AR glasses, and meet the needs of multiple scenarios.
On the more critical issue of mass production, Thunderbird Innovation started from the bottom of the technology, designed the process by itself, developed its own fully automated equipment and system, and finally achieved the mass production of full-color light engines with ultra-precision and high yield. The key obstacle to product implementation was thus removed.
In October 2021, Thunderbird Innovations released the industry's first binocular full-color MicroLED waveguide glasses. During this year's CES, the new generation of Thunderbird X2 was unveiled, showing more possibilities for the form, function, and scene of consumer-grade AR glasses, taking a key step towards further expansion of AR glasses in the consumer market. It is reported that Thunderbird X2 will be mass-produced and launched in H1 2023.
