I believe that many friends often hear vocabulary such as VR and AR in a considerable period, and even have more or less exposed to VR devices in the past five years. I believe everyone is very unpromising with the prospects of such so-called glasses equipment, because these products that seem to represent the future do not bring a revolutionary experience, but are repeatedly using low-intelligence products to harvest the wallets of users who try out the new users.

But if you understand it carefully, you will find that in recent years, the sound of AR has gradually overwhelmed the momentum of VR. To understand the reason, we must naturally start with the principles and concepts:

VR: Virtual reality mainly refers to building a new space completely different from the real world. Putting aside interaction and experience, virtual reality is to take people to escape from the real world for a short time and enter a brand new environment built by people freely. Because it can immediately open a gap with the real world and be easy to understand, it was quickly recognized by everyone in the past few years.

AR: Augmented reality , as the name implies, it enhances the real world. By annotating, interacting, and constructing in the real world, it can assist in the normal life of human beings. Due to the relatively complex concept, the universality of VR will be lower.

It is not difficult to understand why the top technology companies have been creating AR devices in recent years, and many people even mentioned that mobile phones will be replaced by AR glasses and other sounds. Because the main senses of a person are touch, vision, and hearing, glasses can satisfy three conditions at the same time, which can give people greater stimulation. In the visual dimension, the dimension can be expanded relative to mobile devices and perform three-dimensional visual impact. Therefore, the replacement of mobile phones in the future by smart glasses is indeed not groundless.

Speaking of this, it seems that everything is reasonable. When it comes to smart eyes, it must be blown up. This is the future! But the problem lies here. Since ancient times, the development of technological products has been mainly divided into: technology-driven user experience (for example, it broke through users' imagination when the iPhone was released), and user needs-driven technological development (for example, fast charging is needed if it needs faster charging). Today in 2022, if we want to make a truly perfect AR device, we need to solve at least three problems: 1. The screen effect needs to be clear enough; 2. The battery life can be used for one day; 3. It has spatial sensing and interactive perception. In order to meet our basic viewing, use and operation.

OK, we have now clarified the concept and answered the first question in the title first: Is Nreal Air calculated as an AR device?

Let me tell you the conclusion first. For my personal understanding of AR devices: independently complete viewing, use, and spatial interaction. Then I don't think the Nreal Air is considered a real AR glasses. Because it currently has two main usage forms, namely screen projection display and AR space. Basically, they cannot be used and interact independently.

The second question: What is it for?

Before answering this question, I will first describe this product in one sentence: This is the digital product I think is the most worth buying in 2022! This is amazing brothers, it is not a real AR glasses to me, but I think it is the most worth buying product, why?

This is the first smart glasses I am willing to carry with me since I experienced similar products.

We continue to return to the main usage form of this product. The body body is the shape of an ordinary glasses, slightly larger and heavier, but this volume still subverts my size of this type of product, and it can be worn normally. During use, you can complete all link steps by inserting the attached C-C data cable into the device (complete power supply and data transmission). In use, it can be divided into screen projection display and AR space.

. Screen projection mode

Whether it is a computer or tablet, whether it is a mobile phone or a host (some devices require the adapter ), plug in the official C-port data cable to activate the screen projection mode. Simply put, in the projection mode, Nreal Air is like the logic of a normal external monitor, which you can use directly as a monitor. Whether it is direct mirroring or expanding the screen, its usage logic is exactly the same as our daily monitors. But it has no battery itself and will power it through the access device.

This mode ushers in the biggest highlight of the entire glasses, displaying the effect! In fact, when I received this glasses, my expectations for the display are very low, because the similar devices I have experienced in the past, even if they are very large and very large, the display effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory. This is still a glasses product with light transmission on the front, and it is difficult to have too high expectations for its display effect. When this also created a strong contrast for me.

In the screen projection mode, Nreal Air can project a 130-inch large screen with an equivalent distance of 4 meters. The eye-entry resolution is 3840x1080, the eye-entry brightness is 400 nits, and 100,000:1 contrast ratio. These numbers are difficult to show everyone intuitively, but in a summary of my personal experience: its display and visual impression exceeds that of most projector within 10,000 yuan. There are two near-field speakers on both sides of the glasses, and there is also a normal sound to play without disturbing others.

The good appearance and compact body can be easily carried with you. Take it out during the journey and escape the boring journey. Nreal makes everything possible!

.AR space mode

This mode is mainly aimed at Android phones that support DP interfaces. Plug in the data cable, download the official APP, enter AR mode, and a window as shown in the figure will appear in front of you. Here are windows corresponding to the various software of your mobile phone, such as time, date, weather, settings, picture albums, etc., and some of them are Nreal's applications, such as pets, games, etc. The mobile phone screen will become a trackpad for interactive control, etc.

In this space, you can have simple spatial interactions and browse daily information, but the most important thing is that you can open more windows and adjust them freely. With some software that Nreal cooperates with, you can achieve a completely different experience from mobile browsing. Larger display area and viewing method will make people shine.

However, compared with screen projection mode, most connected devices are computers, hosts, tablets and other devices. The mobile phone cannot charge in AR mode, and the mobile phone also needs to power glasses. The overall cost of use is relatively high, and the usage time will slightly affect the use.

OK, here is my sharing of this product. It is not an AR device that can replace mobile phones, but it is still shocking to be able to get such an excellent visual experience in such a small size. Thinking of the future, you can put it in your backpack and have a large screen with delicate displays to watch movies anytime and anywhere. Life is really beautiful!
