The ARknovv A1 and ARknovv A1 HUD are the first consumer-grade AR glasses in the world that are completely functioning. These wearable AR glasses, which contain AI technology and are designed for outdoor use, herald a new era for AR consumer goods.
The ARknovv A1 is a dual-eye AR glass with a 3840 x 1080 resolution that is slim and light, weighing only 68 grammes. It features a 55-degree field of view, a 70Hz refresh rate, and a retina-level display experience. An unequalled visual experience is offered by the glasses’ high-definition, high-brightness, and high-transparency optical display system. The electrochromic lenses also guarantee comfortable wear all day long.
The “Magic Ring,” a cleverly created interaction accessory, is a design feature that stands out. Even with the ring in their pockets, users are still able to easily move their fingers to interact with the digital world. Without the use of additional controllers or touchscreens, this offers smooth control and navigation via AR content and applications.
The ARknovv A1 is run on their in-house Aladdin OS, which has deep AI functions that change how users interact with both digital and physical worlds. Via USB-C or HDMI connections, the glasses can be connected to a variety of gadgets, such as smartphones, PCs, and game consoles.
It presents three crucial features:
Voice Recognition: “Spirit Ball,” an artificially intelligent personal assistant, uses an internal GPT model for voice recognition and object vision.
AR Photo Album: ARknovv A1 enables users to photograph and record real-world events from their point-of-view. The self-created AI algorithms used by the AR glasses allow users to study 2D photographs in 3D and apply one-click stylization to turn photos into a distinctive comic world. With the addition of 2D films to its repertoire, ARknovv A1 will eventually be able to create more robust and varied visuals.
AR navigation: ARknovv A1 eliminates the need to look down at a smartphone while walking by providing pedestrian navigation that is immediately placed on the real world. Additionally, it offers AR-HUD driving navigation for automobiles, improving road safety
The ARknovv A1 HUD is an addition to the ARknovv A1, which was created specifically for use in cars and enhances the driving experience with augmented reality features. The 3DoF SLAM technique, which displays virtual objects without impeding the driver’s view, the straightforward turn-by-turn navigation instructions, and the real-time call and message notifications are among the key features.
Additionally, ARknovv A1 HUD seeks to interact with Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) for Point of Interest (POI) information and real-time safety alerts, making driving safer and more effective by keeping crucial information in the driver’s line of sight. There is competition in the market for automotive AR glasses because Totoya is also developing a concept for AR glasses that would replace in-car displays.
Using local GPT capabilities for natural language interaction and semantic comprehension, another intriguing feature called AR Big Bang provides users with textual feedback combined with real-world scenes. To learn more about objects, users can aim the glasses towards them, resulting in an immersive experience that seamlessly combines the digital and physical worlds.
Through the combination of deep artificial intelligence with the mobile internet, ARknovv A1 intends to be a multifaceted instrument for creativity, work, and entertainment. The business intends to work with partners and developers to produce even more immersive customer experiences.
The ARknovv A1 costs 2988 yuan ($417), and a HUD version will be available alongside it at a price of 3988 yuan ($557) to meet the needs of drivers. The official pre-order channel is now up, and pre-sales will start on September 26 on websites like Tmall and JD.com.
