LAS VEGAS (PRNewswire) – TCL, a pioneer in display technology and affordable, premium smart experiences, announces at CES 2023 the launch of TCL RayNeo X2 augmented reality (AR) smart glasses. The revolutionary glasses harness binocular full-color Micro-LED optical waveguide displays alongside an array of new interactive features.
“TCL RayNeo has created the world’s first binocular full-color Micro-LED optical waveguide AR glasses,” said Howie Li, CEO of TCL RayNeo. “The technology RayNeo has developed will set the bar for future innovations in wearable AR as there is no compromise in top technology, style or ease of use. RayNeo X2 is the new frontier of AR glasses, and we’re just getting started.”
Tackling the industry challenge of making AR glasses look like conventional eyeglasses without compromising on tech specs, TCL RayNeo X2 maintains a subtle and lightweight body for everyday wear while serving all-in-one assistant features, from smart navigation and auto-translation to photography and music play. Significant display upgrades, including a high contrast ratio (CR) of up to 100,000:1 and an image brightness of up to 1,000 nits, generate enhanced visual effects and make the AR glasses ideal for both indoor and outdoor usage.
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® XR2 platform, TCL RayNeo X2 harnesses AR technologies that allow users to see the world in new ways. Its smart GPS navigation system uses simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) together with gesture recognition. Its mapping showcases nearby landmarks as the wearer moves, turning leisurely strolls and bike rides into joyful city explorations. Moreover, while navigating and on the move, glasses’ Bluetooth-enabled on-screen message and call notifications keep wearers updated wherever they go.
AI translation interprets multiple languages in real time. When speaking face-to-face, the AR glasses automatically detect and translate in-person conversations with subtitles displaying on the screen. The translation features create immersive language learning experiences for the wearer. The hands-free integrated camera allows wearers to create stills, videos and time-lapse from a distinctive first-person view, helping them produce new styles of content. Smart features like image stabilization reduce shakes and movement, and auto night mode lets wearers snap vivid moments even in the dark.
Content captured on the glasses can be easily transferred to smartphones, handy when sharing new discoveries with friends on social media. Meanwhile, wearers can enjoy “me time” by listening to their music in unique “whisper mode”, preventing sound leakage while also protecting their privacy.
TCLRayNeo will kick off a developer project in Q1 2023 calling for innovative developers to join and build creative, user-driven features for the AR glasses.
“With the rollout of TCL RayNeo X2, we seek to build a vibrant, comprehensive AR ecosystem to provide our users with rich content and compelling services. Those would include a series of original AR games developed by our team.” Howie Li noted.
TCL NXTWEAR S wearable display glasses also made its debut to the U.S. market. The stylish consumer XR glasses come with display and audio quality upgrades. An equivalent 130-inch, high-definition screen at four meters away, new-generation dual 1080p Micro OLED displays and a unique acoustic phase cancellation mode deliver private, cinema-like audiovisual experience to the wearer at all times.
