Qualcomm unveils new reference AR glasses

Qualcomm has a new version of its augmented reality glasses. It hopes they can help hardware partners build their immersive eyewear. The Wireless AR Smart Viewer Reference Design can now tether wirelessly to a host PC, phone, or puck. It's also 40% thinner than the previous generation and should have a better-balanced weight distribution.

It runs on a slightly older Snapdragon XR2 platform. Each eye features a 1080p, 90Hz micro-OLED display that prevents motion blur. You get an entire six-degrees-of-freedom movement with the help of three cameras (two monochrome, one colour) and hand tracking and gesture recognition. It has both Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth to keep lag under 3ms between the glasses and host device. Many manufacturers already have access to them, and more should get their turn within the "coming months."
