Following the popularity of VR products, AR glasses has gradually entered the attention of consumers in recent years. As a digital enthusiast, I have also experienced several models one after another, but most of them can only be used as an expansion screen, without some creative gameplay, and the freshness will soon pass. This time, Mijia released AR glasses called Mijia Glasses Camera. As the name suggests, it adds camera function to achieve first-view shooting.
package uses a pure black cardboard box, full of technology. In addition to glasses, the packaging also comes with a leather storage bag, quick-removing frame, magnetic charging cable, USB-Type C adapter, lens wipe cloth and instruction manual.
Before use, you need to install the frame on the glasses. The lenses included in the frame are only for display. You can bring the lenses to the glasses store to match lenses that suit your own degree. The frame is fixed to the body by snapping, making it very convenient to install, disassemble and assemble.
glasses are made of polymer memory material, which can deform according to the contour of the head of different users. After removal, they can be reset to their original shape, with high durability and are not easy to break. The part on the inside that contacts the skin is made of silicone, which feels warm and delicate and skin-friendly.
Nose pad part is also made of silicone material, and the wear height can be adjusted according to different nose shapes.
The raised part in front of the right frame is connected to an AR optical display, and the display area is not large, which looks like the glasses in a science fiction movie. The display part supports pitch and front and rear biaxial adjustment, which is convenient for adapting to different pupil distances . There is also an indicator light embedded above.
There is a periscope telephoto lens and wide-angle lens embedded in the same position on the left, and there is a light sensor in the middle.
The right temple is marked with a row of small dots on the outside of the right temple. There is a built-in touch pad, which has a larger touch area and is more suitable for blind operations.
There are power buttons and metal charging contacts on the lower side of the left temple, respectively. The grille in the middle is a heat dissipation grille, not a speaker.
glasses weigh 100 grams, and after matching with the lens frame and the lenses, it is heavier than ordinary myopia glasses. However, thanks to the reasonable structural design and solid materials, it fits closely with both sides of the head and the bridge of the nose after normal wear. There is no need to worry about the problem of excessive weight of the glasses causing the wear to fall off.
For the first time, you need to download and install the "Mijia Glasses" APP on your mobile phone and complete the configuration with the glasses. Follow the steps according to the guide and follow the steps. It is relatively simple, so I won't go into details here. After completion, the connection status and remaining battery information of the glasses camera will be displayed on the APP.
At this time, the screen of the glasses displays the live viewing screen through the camera, which is exactly the same as the perspective of the wearer's eyes, which is the so-called "first-person perspective". It is worth mentioning that the Mijia Glasses camera is equipped with a Sony Micro OLED silicon-based display screen. It is equipped with a free curved AR optical machine. The maximum brightness of the eye is 1800nits. It can be clearly seen in outdoors with sufficient sunshine. There is no problem in shooting outdoor scenes.
Touch the touch area outside the right temple to trigger the shutter to take a photo. Then three small dot icons appear in the upper right corner of the screen, indicating that the shooting is being stored. Swipe down in the touch area to switch to recording mode. Touch the key to start recording. The video timer appears in the upper left corner. Touch the key again to save the recording.
Normal shooting is Quad Bayer four-in-one wide-angle main camera, with 50 megapixels, a large f/1.8 aperture, and supports EIS electronic anti-shake. Zooming to more than 5 times will switch to a periscope telephoto lens, 8 million pixels, f/3.4 aperture, and support split OIS optical anti-shake . During shooting, you can adjust the zoom by sliding after touching the area coupon, and there will be corresponding graphic prompts on the screen.
According to the official parameters, the default 1x zoom is equivalent to 8mm wide-angle , 5x optical zoom equivalent 120mm telephoto, and 15x hybrid zoom is equivalent to 360mm ultra-long focal length.The focal length coverage range is from 26-360mm, which can be said to be very wide, basically meeting the shooting needs of various daily scenes.
This is a photo taken without zooming by default. The resolution of outdoor buildings and flowers and plants on sunny days is pretty good, and the colors are also bright. The support for the lack of HDR function makes the dark details a little lost, especially the branches on both sides are basically black.
manually zooms to 5 times, switches to the telephoto lens, and the advertising text on the parking access control is still clearly visible. The overall color saturation of the picture is not as bright as that of the wide-angle lens, but the dark details are better.
switch to 15x hybrid zoom, take the advertising words in the community across the road, and enlarge and observe the smear marks, but it does not affect the text recognition. In terms of video recording, Mijia Glasses camera supports PDAF high-speed phase focus , which can achieve more sensitive focus when shooting videos and calmly deal with complex shooting scenes. In addition, it supports smart face recognition and head-assisted tracking, which can lock focus faster and more accurately.
Long press and hold the touch area to call out the system menu, select "Time Traceability" mode, and you can retain the video screen for the first 10 seconds of shooting when shooting videos to avoid missing wonderful moments. At the same time, relying on the two microphones equipped with glasses and audio optimization algorithms, purer sound can be collected when recording videos and improve the quality of the material.
In addition, the system also provides combat capability query, AI animal and plant recognition, and Xiaoai translation. Combat power query is to take photos of objects in life through the camera, and then give "combat power values" for entertainment only; AI animal and plant recognition can identify the photographed plants and animals, and give corresponding encyclopedia information introduction; Xiaoai Translation can realize real-time Chinese and English translation. In terms of performance, it is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 processor, and an independent ISP and 3+32GB storage combination are specially designed for photography. Strong hardware performance can play a positive role in image optimization synthesis algorithms and high resolution/ high frame rate video shooting. It can also provide some extended applications. The subsequent OTA upgrade will bring more creative gameplay. The photos taken by
and recorded video files will be saved in the glasses' memory chip. You can browse images and video files in the "file space" of the APP, or download them to your phone. When viewing and downloading files, glasses will be connected to the mobile phone via WiFi. The mobile phone will be connected to the WiFi hotspot emitted by glasses, and the transmission speed is much faster than Bluetooth .
also provides rich templates in the Mijia Glasses APP. After downloading the template, you can directly import the recorded video materials, and generate video works with one click, including transitions and background music, and video novices can also easily make high-quality VLOG videos. Professional users import video materials into third-party software for editing, adding some first-person clips to video works.
combined with the experience for a period of time, the various ways of playing the Mijia Glasses camera left a deep impression on me. It can help me shoot some VLOG video materials in first-person perspectives. It does not need to hold the camera or mobile phone like before, and truly free my hands. For example, I usually record some unboxing videos, or play with children, and it can be more convenient to record them. Of course, combined with its price of 2,699 yuan, I recommend digital enthusiasts and players who are professional in video shooting to choose from.
