AR will have some minor achievements in 2023, with new products coming one after another.

The rise of each generation of smart terminals is a process of long-term struggle and active evolution of the industry chain. For those who choose to take this path, "look up to the stars but keep your feet on the ground" - you must have ideals and grasp the most important part of the business.

The "most important part" means that how to bring "good products" to the market is the most critical. At the end of 2022, Lao Zhang, the founder of Singularity is Near, once circulated an article widely in the circle. He believed that the explosion of consumer electronics categories that can become "interaction centers" and "computing platforms" must be driven by hardware. Only when the hardware experience is good enough will consumers be willing to use it

Starting from the standard of making "good products", Singularity has been dormant for more than two years. At the 6th China International Import Expo (hereinafter referred to as the "CIIE") held in Shanghai on November 5, it launched It launched its first product, the INFINITY EDITION (developer version) of the all-weather smart glasses QIDI ONE, and officially launched pre-sale on the official public account.

QIDI ONE debuts at CIIE: the whole machine only weighs 80 grams

Binocular high-definition full color, brightness up to 3000 nits

The Artificial Intelligence Experience Zone of the CIIE with the theme of "Intelligent Competition for the Future" displays various innovative technologies (such as AI/AR/VR, etc.), allowing visitors to personally experience the uniqueness brought about by the collision of technology and life scenes. charm. QIDI ONE also brings a new way of viewing exhibitions to the artificial intelligence experience area. The wearer can not only obtain booth information in real time, watch exhibit videos and booth introductions on the 85-inch virtual large screen, but also learn the names and introductions of various interactive characters in the exhibition area through facial recognition

It is worth mentioning that the QIDI ONE INFINITY EDITION (developer version) released during the CIIE is aimed at developers from all walks of life and can also satisfy consumers who love to try new things.

Founder Lao Zhang once said, "AR glasses must be in the form of glasses, comfortable and lightweight, suitable for all-weather wear, and serve all scenarios of daily work and life. This is the first step for Singularity to make good products." Obviously this It is a "right and difficult" thing. What Singularity wants to do is to "solve at least 1-2 key underlying issues that users are most concerned about in each generation of products." At present, Singularity has achieved initial success in being worn around the clock and serving all scenarios.

Smart glasses are different from head-mounted displays. They need to consider the outdoor use environment under sunlight and have high requirements for brightness, which need to be above 2,000 nits. QIDI ONE adopts LCoS array optical waveguide full-color solution, with eye brightness up to 3000 nits, light transmittance higher than 85%, resolution 1280*720, refresh rate 120 Hz, and can present high-definition effects indoors or outdoors

At the same time, QIDI ONE comes with its own processor chip, battery, storage, and sensors. It is an all-in-one smart glasses that weighs only 80 grams. Its balance between lightness, portability and performance is impressive. From a structural perspective, the overall shape design is similar to ordinary glasses. The results of the Singularity Near Laboratory human factors test and B-end user on-site test results show that even if worn for 8 consecutive hours, users will not feel obvious pressure or discomfort.

For a long time, it has been difficult for AR glasses for the consumer market to achieve multiple features such as portability, full-color display, all-day wear, and fusion of reality and reality. The breakthrough of QIDI ONE is helping AR glasses take a further step

The scene is broadened and the space is extended

Create AR glasses "Hexagonal Warrior"

QIDI ONE excels in important performances such as light transmittance, brightness, perception recognition, compatibility, weight, and recording. It is a hexagonal warrior with balanced capabilities. It also has rich application capabilities, covering smart devices. Perceptual recognition, AI translation, AI business cards, binocular naked-eye 3D, speech prompting, etc., use powerful tools to open up different scenarios.

QIDI ONE can open a variety of scenarios in the consumer market. For example, the "AR translation function" can translate conversations into the target language in real time and present them in front of users in the form of subtitles, helping users easily overcome language barriers and achieve smooth communication. This function is suitable for scenarios such as traveling abroad or communicating with overseas people. In addition, the "AI business card function" is a powerful assistant for business people, as it only needs to enter other people's photos and information. When meeting again, smart glasses can directly display the other party's information through face recognition technology. For face-blind people, this function is also very considerate

The "intelligent assistant function" allows users to ask questions to the large model through voice, and displays the answers in real time, providing convenience for users to answer questions; the "binocular display function" can achieve a 3D display effect, bringing users a lifelike three-dimensional experience; the "Small Step Function" allows users to exercise while listening to music, with the number of steps and calorie consumption displayed in real time and continuously motivating users to take one more step to be healthier; the "Zero Parallax First-person Perspective Shooting Function" realizes A convenient experience where you can take photos of whatever you see.

In addition to self-developed applications, QIDI ONE can also support third-party applications such as Bilibili, and can be connected to various devices such as Switch game consoles, drones, laptops, and mobile phones to bring more fun to users . Developers can use QIDI SDK development tools, such as voice translation, voice transcription, business card recognition and other functions, to develop applications suitable for different scenarios, whether for professional or daily use. It is worth mentioning that QIDI ONE is also compatible with Unity App and Android ARCore

What is the product path for XR terminal development? This is a question that every practitioner is constantly thinking about. Singularity is Near said that devices like VR that emphasize high performance, high computing power, and high immersion are more like the future form of PCs, TVs, game consoles and other devices, and are suitable for those who have the ultimate pursuit of performance, display, and immersion. Scenarios where the use environment is relatively fixed and safe, such as industrial design, large-scale games, audio-visual experience, etc.; at the same time, there is another path, whose future direction is the next generation of smart glasses, aiming to cover daily life and work in a lightweight and portable way The entire scene can therefore greatly improve information density and processing efficiency.

Alibaba Investment, what you want to do as the singularity approaches

Singularity Nearby recently announced that it has received tens of millions of RMB investment from Alibaba Group. It is reported that the two parties plan to cooperate in multiple fields such as navigation, office, cloud computing, e-commerce and local life, and actively promote AR-related business cooperation, joint research and development and ecological construction

This news increased the attention on Singularity, and many industry professionals and technology enthusiasts even came to look for Singularity’s products. In fact, this is not the first financing near the Singularity. As early as September last year, it completed an angel round of financing worth 100 million yuan, led by Joy Capital, followed by Matrix Partners and Huaying Capital.

In the past two years, Singularity is Near has been developing products in a low-key manner, and as early as 2011, Lao Zhang planted the seeds of making smart glasses. Until 2021, Singularity is Near was officially established in Shanghai. During these ten years, Lao Zhang has been constantly thinking about the product paradigm of smart glasses, dismantling its lowest-level technology, tracking, understanding, experiencing, and judging the development trend, rhythm, commercialization maturity, and industry cycle of smart glasses.

Lao Zhang was the first chief scientist and first chief architect of Huawei mobile phones. He was also one of the core founders of Huawei P series and Mate series flagship phones. He later served as the general manager of Xiaomi mobile phone brand and co-founder of Black Shark. Human and CTO. Most of the core members of Singularity Approaching come from top companies in the technology field such as Huawei Terminal, HiSilicon, and DJI.

Lao Zhang, who came from a flagship manufacturer of mobile phone products, has a certain degree of "herbiphobia" for products. In Lao Zhang's opinion, the smart glasses they will make in the future must be:

  • The shape of the glasses should be comfortable and light, suitable for long-term wear, and adaptable to various scenes of daily work and life;
  • Perception and recognition from the first perspective, with built-in computing power and battery power;
  • Real-time holographic display, integrating the digital world and the real world;
  • Bare hand interaction is in line with natural intuition.

It can be said that every function is the pain point of current AR glasses. This year is unanimously considered by the industry to be the year of development of AR glasses. New products have been launched in turn. In terms of product applications and functions, each company has delivered its best record. But for consumers, the underlying technology is not the focus of their attention. The product experience is the focus. A good experience determines the long-term lifeline of AR glasses and is also the direction for each company to upgrade their products. As Lao Zhang said, "In terms of the definition of smart glasses product paradigm, Chinese technology has great potential."
