Thunderbird innovatively launches a new generation of binocular full-color Micro LED optical waveguide AR glasses

On January 5, local time, the 2023 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2023) officially opened in Las Vegas, USA. Thunderbird Innovation, a cutting-edge AR brand, launched a new generation of binocular full-color Micro LED light waveguide AR glasses Thunderbird X2 at the exhibition.

It is reported that Thunderbird X2 adopts the industry's best Micro LED + diffractive optical waveguide solution and has made significant breakthroughs in key technologies such as Micro LED full-color display, optical waveguide brightness, fully self-developed optical engine precision and miniaturization, and has received great attention and praise from the industry, media, and the majority of technology product enthusiasts.

According to reports, Thunderbird X2 was released overseas as RayNeo X2. It uses Micro LED + diffractive light 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. Based on the powerful terminal computing power, Thunderbird X2's perception, interaction, and virtual and real integration functions have been significantly improved. 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 a structural perspective, Thunderbird X2 adopts a simple wireless all-in-one design. 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 Micro LED full-color light engine can present 1677Ten thousand colors and a contrast ratio of 100,000:1, the image brightness coupled by the optical waveguide lens is as high as 1,000 nits, which can take into account the use needs of different indoor and outdoor scenes.

In terms of application scenarios, the fully upgraded Thunderbird X2 can combine information with real scenes in daily life, entertainment, office and other scenarios, turning 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 entire world in front of you becomes deducible, computable, and deeply transformable. Take the translation function as an example. When talking face to face, the Thunderbird X2's directional radio MIC will accurately capture the words of the target and automatically detect and translate the conversation. The entire process first realizes the visual perception, positioning and sound filtering collection of the conversation object, then performs speech recognition and calculation, and then converts the calculation results into visible visual information and adds it to the three-dimensional space at the specified location.

Perception, calculation, and then virtual and real fusion, a complete AR process. When reading foreign language books, Thunderbird X2 can quickly recognize and translate the text at the fingertips, breaking key barriers to language learning. Similarly, it can also open up more efficient and convenient communication methods in business communication, travel shopping, digital social networking and other situations.

Thanks to Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2’s professional and powerful computing platform integrated locally on the device, Thunderbird X2’s visual SLAM (real-time positioning and map construction) and gesturesThe recognition realizes the intelligent GPS navigation function. During the movement, the screen information of Thunderbird X2 can be updated in real time following the user's itinerary, which facilitates quick positioning and interaction, making travel more worry-free. In addition, Thunderbird X2 is equipped with a 16-megapixel high-definition camera, which supports functions such as still photos, videos, and time-lapse photography, and can record wonderful moments in life.

For a long time, AR glasses for the consumer market have been difficult to achieve the four key characteristics of lightweight size, natural display, all-weather scenes and virtual and real integration at the same time. As a groundbreaking consumer-grade true AR glasses, Thunderbird X2 has truly achieved key technology leadership over well-known manufacturers and innovative brands in the field.

In the field of optical display, the combination of Micro LED 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 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 AR glasses that should match the natural vision of the human eye.

In the face of industry problems, the Thunderbird innovation R&D team persisted in years of continuous investment and focused on technical research. On the ThunderbirdBright display and suitable for use in multiple scenarios.

Regarding the more critical issue of mass production, Thunderbird Innovation started from the bottom of the technology, designed its own process flow, developed its own fully automated equipment and systems, and finally achieved ultra-precision and high-yield mass production of full-color optical engines. The key obstacle to product launch has been overcome.

Thunderbird's innovative R&D team has deep roots and strong capabilities. It has accumulated deep technology accumulation through many years of cutting-edge exploration. In October 2021, Thunderbird innovatively released the industry's first binocular full-color Micro LED optical waveguide glasses. During this year's CES, the new generation of Thunderbird X2 was unveiled, demonstrating more possibilities in the form, function, and scene of consumer-grade AR glasses, and 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 in 2023.

As the fastest growing glasses brand in the consumer AR field, Thunderbird’s innovative product capabilities have been widely recognized by the industry and consumers. While optical waveguide glasses continue to launch new results, in 2022, Thunderbird Innovation successively released Thunderbird Air and Thunderbird Air 1S, two consumer-grade XR glasses based on the MicroOLED+Birdbath solution, achieving excellent results in the domestic market.

Analysys analysis data from the third-party research organization shows that in Q3 of 2022, Thunderbird Innovation has the highest market share in the consumer AR category on domestic mainstream e-commerce platforms.Reaching 28.6%, ranking second. During the Double Eleven period in 2022, Thunderbird Innovation achieved the first place in AR category sales and sales on Tmall + JD.com dual platforms. During this exhibition, Thunderbird Air 1S also debuted in the US market for the first time, bringing a 130-inch high-definition giant screen and a comprehensively upgraded audio-visual and interactive experience.
