Releasing chipsets and unveiling SOCs is not the only thing Qualcomm, one of the leading processor makers, are good at doing. The company has revealed that a Wireless AR Smart Viewer is soon going to be released after it had debuted the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus and highlighted the specifications of the mid-range Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.
A reference design to the Wireless AR Smart Viewer is the next generation premium lightweight AR glasses, powered by the Snapdragon XR2 platform. The hardware seems to be very impressive by providing virtually a lag-free augmented reality experience using the fully integrated Qualcomm Fastconnect 6900 system plus the new Fastconnect XR software suite.
Apart from software improvements, the company boasts of some hardware enhancements on the Wireless AR Smart Viewer reference design which are a 40 percent thinner profile and a more balanced weight distribution. How impressive from Qualcomm.
Some other feats are the reference design having a dual Micro Oled binocular display with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 Pixel per eye as well as frame rates of up to 90Hz. Adding to these, Qualcomm adds dual monochrome cameras and one RGB camera to enable six degrees of freedom(6dgoF) and also head and hand tracking with gesture recognition.
Wireless AR Smart Viewer design, is not the only recent project Qualcomm’s worked on
As said earlier, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus has been released and it packs impressive feats among which are a 10 percent increase in CPU performance, 30 percent increase in power efficiency, improved GPU and a 20 percent better performance per watt compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
We’ve also had the specifications of the mid-range Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 which is a 4-nanometer impressive processor with amazing specs for an affordable price. The company is sampling the Wireless AR Smart Viewer reference design to select OEMs which we are yet to discover.
