Oppo Air Glass 3 XR Unveiled: A AR Glasses With AI Voice Assistant
Oppo Air Glass 3 comes with a built-in speaker in the frame, used for both calls and app interaction. To improve privacy and user experience quality, Oppo uses "reverse sound field" technology - people around you cannot hear the sound coming from the Air Glass 3's speakers, only you can hear it. However, Oppo claims the sound quality for listeners is still vivid.
Currently, the Air Glass 3 prototype needs to be paired with an Oppo phone running ColorOS 13 or higher to work. Control of the glasses is done through the trackpads on the frame.
The main novelty of the product is the all-new AI voice assistant, which works on Oppo's own AndesGPT large language model. This AI does not reside on the glasses but requires pairing with a smartphone app for interaction (currently only available in China). AndesGPT is said to be effective at finding information and stringing queries for more complex tasks, such as travel planning.
In terms of functionality, Oppo Air Glass 3 currently supports basic tasks such as calling, playing music and viewing photos. Oppo plans to add teleprompter, navigation, timer, translation and health information features in future versions.
Oppo is expected to test a few more prototypes before launching the official product. The Air Glass 2 prototype was introduced two years ago and to this day, development is still ongoing. Recently, Oppo also established an AI center, aiming to find ways to integrate AI with AR and XR in the future. Currently, Oppo Air Glass 3 does not have a specific launch date. It is still just a concept introduction and technical demonstration of Oppo.
