Whether it would make sense for you to wear glasses indoors or not, TCL redesigns its TV glasses to look more like a pair you'll want to wear. The NXTWear Air aren't augmented reality glasses (but TCL also has that). These glasses are more of an accessory you can plug into any device and work as an external monitor of sorts close to your eyes. You can enjoy your content or do some work while lounging around.
Functionally, they aren't as different as the original NXTWear, but now they look more like RayBan Wayfarers than the IMAX 3D glasses look of the past. It has a black plastic frame with magnetic front plates and tinted lenses you can swap out for different styles. That black USB-C cable on the right side will give it away as a tech device, though.
The NXTWear Air has a pair of 1080p displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio typically seen on TVs and displays. These screens sit close enough to make it look like you're watching from one 140-inch screen. It has a standard 60Hz refresh rate, and it is compatible with over 100 smartphones and devices. If you're worried about its weight, it comes in at just 2.6 ounces, which is far less than the 4.6 ounces of its predecessor.
TCL plans to share pricing and availability closer to Mobile World Congress next month.
