OPPO showcased its latest breakthrough in the XR field, the OPPO MR Glass Developer Edition, during the Augmented World Expo (AWE) 2023.
This cutting-edge mixed reality (MR) device is designed to offer an optimal environment for advanced developers to create and present exciting MR experiences.
With the expectation of a surge in XR technology adoption, OPPO believes that MR is one of the most promising modalities. To foster innovation in MR applications, OPPO plans to release the OPPO MR Glass as an official Snapdragon Spaces developer kit in China. This move aims to attract more developers to the field and push the boundaries of XR technology.
During the keynote speech at AWE 2023, Yi Xu, Director of XR Technology at OPPO, expressed the company’s commitment to exploring XR technologies and revolutionizing interaction and information accessibility.
Xu highlighted the OPPO MR Glass as a breakthrough product, equipped with the advanced capabilities of Snapdragon Spaces, which empower developers to unlock boundless possibilities for XR innovation.
OPPO and Qualcomm Technologies share a long-standing relationship and a common vision to establish an open ecosystem that empowers developers and unlocks the potential for XR innovation. Said Bakadir, Senior Director, XR Product Management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., acknowledged OPPO’s efforts in exploring technologies, products, content, and services for XR.
Bakadir expressed optimism about the potential solutions that improve productivity, creativity, and gaming experiences on OPPO MR Glass. The collaboration between OPPO and Qualcomm aims to stimulate more innovations in the MR ecosystem.
OPPO MR Glass is built to provide developers with the best platform to create and test the latest MR experiences. Powered by the Snapdragon XR2+ platform, the MR Glass features OPPO’s proprietary SUPERVOOC fast charging and heart rate detection function, enabling a wide range of new applications.
The device is crafted with skin-friendly material and incorporates Binocular VPT (Video Pass Through) technologies, dual front RGB cameras, pancake lenses, and a 120Hz high refresh rate.
In recent years, OPPO has been actively working on advanced XR technology-related concept products, empowering developers to innovate together. From the release of the first AR concept product, OPPO AR Glass, in 2019, to the subsequent launches of OPPO AR Glass 2021, OPPO Air Glass, and OPPO Air Glass 2, OPPO has explored numerous possibilities in algorithms, optical solutions, interactions, and ecosystems.
The recognition received by OPPO’s XR efforts includes winning the silver award in the AR category of the Edison Product Awards 2023 for OPPO Air Glass. Furthermore, OPPO has developed the AR application CybeReal and other innovations that seamlessly connect the physical and digital worlds.
The OPPO MR Glass will be available as a Snapdragon Spaces developer kit in China, distributed through EnlightXR in the second half of 2023. This will provide developers with top-of-the-line hardware and contribute to the expansion of the Snapdragon Spaces content ecosystem in China.
