JAKARTA - Xiaomi has just challenged Facebook in the wearables market by launching its own smart glasses. These Xiaomi Smart Glasses weigh 51 grams.
The device is not only capable of taking photos, but also displaying messages and notifications, making calls, providing navigation and translating text in real time in front of the user's eyes, as quoted from Engadget, Wednesday, September 15.
Like Facebook, Xiaomi also emphasizes the lightness of the device regardless of its features. However, at 51 grams, it is slightly heavier than Facebook's Ray-Ban Stories. In addition, these glasses also have an indicator light that shows when the 5 megapixel camera is in use.
Using MicroLED technology on the screen, like OLED, the MicroLED pixels light up individually, resulting in a brighter display with deep blacks. With a simpler structure, MicroLED has a high pixel density and a longer life. This advantage makes Xiaomi Smart Glasses have a compact appearance, as well as easier integration with eyeglass lenses.
Xiaomi Smart Glasses have a display chip measuring 2.4 x 2.02 millimeters, to ensure users get a maximum brightness level of up to 2 million nits, even when used during the hot day but the user's vision is still bright enough.
In fact, Xiaomi Smart Glasses are equipped with a quad-core ARM SoC which is quite capable. There is also optical waveguide technology, which significantly reduces the size and weight of Xiaomi Smart Glasses, so that these smart glasses can approach the shape of glasses in general.
According to Xiaomi, these smart glasses integrate 497 components including sensors and communication modules in a small size, which makes this device not just a second screen of the user's smartphone.
The smart glasses are capable of many things, such as selecting the most important notifications to show to, including smart home alarms and messages from important contacts.
The device's navigation capabilities can also display maps and directions in front of the user's eyes, can display the phone number that is currently dialing the user and can receive calls using the microphone as well as the built-in speaker of the smart glasses.
The microphone can also capture speech, which can be translated by Xiaomi's proprietary translation algorithm in real time. The glasses' translation feature also works with written captions and captions on photos taken through the camera. Unfortunately, the company has yet to announce an official price or launch date for the glasses.
