2023 MWC Shanghai | Meta-Bounds joins hands with ZTE to create the world's first consumer-grade GPT wireless AR smart glasses.

2023.06.28

On June 28, the consumer-grade AR glasses nubia Neo Air, a collaborative product of Meta-Bounds and ZTE, made a heavy appearance at the 2023 MWC Shanghai "World Mobile Communications Conference". This cooperation is another recognition of Meta-Bounds's world-leading optical display technology in the market after breaking the industry ceiling with its near-eye display system in 2022, fully demonstrating Meta-Bounds's technological innovative strength in the AR field.

nubia Neo Air is not just a wireless AR glasses supporting voice commands, but also an intelligent glasses incorporating the AIGC algorithm similar to GPT. Users can achieve instant Q&A, chat with AI voice assistants, and voice query information through the GPT model loaded by the product, which integrates the capabilities of multiple AI large models. With the boost of AR + AIGC dual technology, nubia Neo Air has become a user's all-scenario portable intelligent assistant. In speeches, live broadcasts, hosting and other occasions, wearers can view text prompts in real-time through the glasses lens for scriptless speeches. When talking to international friends, the built-in microphone of nubia Neo Air can convert the collected voice information into the specified language text and project it inside the glasses window using instant translation function, helping users overcome cross-language communication barriers. Based on the intelligent interaction design of glasses, nubia Neo Air also supports a variety of common features such as calling, navigation, and music-playing, all of which greatly enhance the quality of the user's lifestyle experience.


Leading Optical Technology, Empowering with Strong Capabilities

As soon as nubia Neo Air made its appearance, it gained global attention and extensive acclaim. The technology behind the product was jointly developed by Meta-Bounds and ZTE, especially the globally leading innovative optical display technology plays a pivotal role.

Resin Diffractive Waveguide

Meta-Bounds has developed the world's leading resin diffractive waveguide technology, which has six significant advantages:

  1. 1.Lightweight:The density of resin material is only 1/3~1/4 of that of glass material, but there is almost no difference in optical performance between the two. Under the same appearance design, Meta-Bounds managed to reduce the weight of the resin waveguide to about 30% of the traditional glass lens.

  2. 2.Safety: The resin waveguide lenses are more resilient to impact, ensuring the safety of end-users when worn in sports and driving scenarios.

  3. 3.Drop resistance: Resin waveguide lenses have superior drop resistance, effectively prolonging the lifespan of the glasses.

  4. 4.High transmittance: Meta-Bounds has developed a waveguide technology with 90%+ transmittance, which exceeds the national standard requirements for ordinary glasses lenses, effectively alleviating the discomfort of end-users from long-term wear and ensuring a clear and bright field of view for daily wear.

  5. 5.Privacy protection: Meta-Bounds has innovatively developed anti-peeping waveguide technology, providing comprehensive protection for end-user information privacy.

  6. 6.Mass production capable: Meta-Bounds boasts a leading industry scale of high-end optical display module manufacturing bases, all of which are 100 and 1,000 level clean workshops, covering a full set of waveguide production lines, capable of mass production and deliveries, with the industry-leading product yield rate. to date, Meta-Bounds remains the only company in the industry that exclusively controls the core technology for mass production of resin diffractive waveguides.


Micro-optical engine

Meta-Bounds's micro-optical engine has four significant advantages:

  1. 1.Small size: Successfully reduce the volume of the optical engine to 0.5cc, achieving extreme miniaturization.
  2. 2.High light efficiency: Based on the MicroLED display scheme, adopt a unique optical lens design, and the effective light flux is world-leading.
  3. 3.High display quality: The picture is delicate and clear, and the image quality is top of the industry.
  4. 4.Mass production: Meta-Bounds's high-end manufacturing base not only has the ability of light waveguide mass production, but also has the ability of optical engine mass production.

    High-Precision Integrated Refractive Packaging for AR

    Meta-Bounds innovatively developed a high-precision integrated bonding technology based on resin wafers, perfectly combining the corrective lenses and waveguide plates, so that the nearsighted terminal users do not need to match the corrective clip-on lenses to achieve vision correction, to meet the corrective lens customization needs of different vision groups.

    In, Meta-Bounds innovates AR optical display technology around multiple dimensions such as portability, privacy protection, and corrective lens correction, and works with global partners to create highly personalized consumer AR products. Looking to the future, Meta-Bounds will continue to focus on innovative technologies to solve industry pain points and promote the rapid popularity of consumer AR glasses.
