Another industry leader enters AI glasses, Qualcomm + domestic dual-core solution, "XR box" helps glasses "raise shrimp"

Smart Things Author | Yunpeng Editor | Xin Yuan Smart Things reported live in Shenzhen on July 9. Quectel Communications, the world's leading IoT communications manufacturer, just held a major press conference focusing on the XR field, showing off multiple XR glasses reference designs, XR computing units and self-developed XR OS frameworks. ▲Integrated optical waveguide lightweight AI+AR glasses reference design Hawk series includes integrated optical waveguide lightweight AI+AR glasses and split BirdBath AR glasses. The AI+AR glasses have dual solutions of Qualcomm and domestic chips. The Dolphin series is a self-developed AI+AR computing unit that supports device-side deployment of OpenClaw to realize "shrimp farming" of glasses. The Dolphin series also has a 5G device-cloud integration version that supports 5G network connections. Quectel COO Zhang Dong was the first to take the stage to give a speech. He believed that AI is still only a pair of glasses away from entering the physical world. More than ten years ago, Quectel solved the problem of device connection and connected devices to the Internet; then Quectel made devices intelligent based on connectivity; today, Quectel has entered the 3.0 era, and its three key words in the 3.0 era are AI, robots and XR. ▲ Quectel COO Zhang Dong Why does Quectel do XR and why can it do well in XR? This is one of the core questions Quectel wants to answer today. Zhang Dong mentioned that the XR track is very hot, but scenario implementation is very complicated. Each link of R&D, design, mass production, and testing is time-consuming and labor-intensive. There is a lack of a role to connect these fragmented processes, and the one-stop XR solution provided by Quectel can fill this gap. Overall, its XR solutions include from software and hardware reference design and definition to precision manufacturing assembly and foundry. In short, it includes EMS foundry, software and hardware customization, and ODM cooperation. Zhang Dong mentioned that behind Quectel's provision of such solutions is the support of its global layout, including the global layout of R&D, intelligent manufacturing, marketing and service systems. At the press conference, Zhixixi experienced a variety of glasses reference designs released this time. Overall, many glasses are comfortable to wear.
