In terms of eye comfort, XREAL Air 2 has also obtained three authoritative certifications from TUV Rheinland for eye comfort, low blue light and flicker-free. Monocular actual virtual image distance, binocular image fusion error and distortion correction accuracy are important indicators to measure eye comfort. XREAL Air 2 has a professional-grade VID (monocular actual virtual image distance) of 2.5 meters, and binocular convergence and average image fusion in the vertical direction The error is less than or equal to 1.83 pixels, and the distortion correction accuracy reaches <1 pixel, both of which are far beyond the relevant international standards of virtual reality and reach the world's top level, ensuring eye comfort for long-term use.
Seven ergonomic upgrades: weighing only 72g, a new benchmark for light weight and comfort
XREAL Air 2 continues the aesthetic design language of its predecessor, which has been widely praised by consumers around the world. It is comparable to the style and texture of first-line big-name sunglasses, and perfectly integrates pioneering technology into daily life. In order to further meet the individual needs of consumers, XREAL Air 2 also launched an additional red version this time, which is more avant-garde and trendy overall. At the same time, XREAL will also provide 7 sets of stickers of different colors and materials on the e-commerce platform for users to freely match.
As a long-wearing head-mounted display device, lightweight and comfort are eternal topics. The XREAL Air 2 has undergone 7 ergonomic optimization upgrades, bringing the wearing experience of AR glasses to a new level.
First of all, in terms of "weight" and "front-to-rear weight ratio" that determine the lightness of the glasses, XREAL Air 2 once again breaks through the lightweight limit by introducing a number of new materials such as magnesium alloy beams and ultra-light plastic particles for the shell, reducing the weight of the body Reduced by 10% to 72g (without nose pads), further breaking the industry record. At the same time, Air 2 transfers more of the front weight to the temples, making the front-to-back weight ratio close to 50:50, thereby reducing the load-bearing feeling of the bridge of the nose and making the pressure distribution more balanced.
At the detail level, XREAL Air 2 has newly customized "zero-pressure air cushion nose pads", increased the length and soft elasticity of the temples, reduced the thickness by 10%, redesigned the myopia frame, and reduced the surface temperature through new circuit design and new heat dissipation materials. , so that the wearing comfort has been significantly improved.
X-Spatial Sound 2.0 Hidden Spatial Sound Field: Better sound quality and stronger privacy
XREAL Air 2 is equipped with a new X-Spatial Sound 2.0 hidden space sound field solution. The hardware level adopts super-linear speakers with larger sound chambers, and introduces algorithms such as virtual bass, DRC to dynamically adjust loudness, EQ sound field widening, and nonlinear distortion noise cancellation. The module greatly improves the performance of the mid-low frequency, bringing a more immersive surround sound field.
In terms of privacy, the ultra-linear speaker adopts an open rear cavity design, and uses the principle of phase superposition to prevent sound leakage, which can effectively suppress sound spillage and greatly improve listening privacy.
XREAL Air 2 Pro released: the world's first AR glasses to realize the mass production application of electrochromic technology
All-scenario and all-weather applications are the inevitable direction for the development of AR glasses. However, at the current stage, the complex and changeable light environment in life will greatly affect the experience of using AR glasses in many scenarios. For this reason, XREAL Air 2 Pro has added electrochromic technology on the basis of XREAL Air 2. By manually adjusting the light transmittance of the lens, it can adapt to the light environment at any time and in any scene, ensuring that the picture is always bright and high-definition.
XREAL Air 2 Pro electrochromic supports three levels of adjustment:
The first "home mode" is suitable for the illuminance range of 0-300lux, suitable for home environments with moderate illuminance and simple lighting;
The second gear "travel mode" is suitable for the illuminance range of 0-1000lux, and is suitable for public places with high illuminance or complicated light, such as offices, cafes, airplanes, cars, high-speed rail, etc.;
Three levels of "outdoor mode", suitable for the range of 0-100000lux, suitable for daytime outdoor environments with very high light intensity, and compatible with all light environments.
It is worth mentioning that, based on long-term research and development accumulation, XREAL Air 2 Pro controls the thickness of the electrochromic film within 1mm this time, and the adjustment response time is less than 100ms.
