The smallest near-eye display solution tackles the pain points in the AR/VR industry-News-Arcension

Arcension was invited to attend the '2023 Shanghai International VR/AR Industry Expo' and delivered a speech at the industry technical forum in the afternoon of the 29th. The company also showcased the smallest near-eye display system and a new fashionable eyeglass solution incorporating this system on the 29th and 30th. It received acclaim from numerous professionals and attracted attention from various institutions.

The Shanghai 2023 International VR/AR Industry Expo's related technical forums and exhibitions took place at the Shanghai Star River Bay Hotel. Arcension, as an enabler of smart capabilities for regular eyeglasses, garnered significant attention in the AR/VR industry due to a breakthrough in the core near-eye display system in terms of size and power consumption. As one of the important VR/AR industry expos in China, the organizers cordially invited Arcension to share relevant technical topics and participate in interviews during this forum.

”At the event, Arcesnion's Co-founder & COO, Deng Xudong, emphasized Arcension's role as an enabler for the smartification of regular eyeglasses. He stated, 'What we aim to do is, with our unique DigiWindow technology, turn every pair of regular eyeglasses into smart glasses. We have engaged with numerous eyeglass manufacturers, and they believe that the DigiWindow technology solution is currently the best display solution that seamlessly integrates with conventional eyeglasses in the market.'

Traditional optical solutions often require optical devices with dimensions of several centimeters to achieve retinal projection. However, Arcension's DigiWindow technology can shrink the volume to the scale of 2x2x2 millimeters, with even better optical performance. Crucially, it does not rely on lens projection and light conduction, which means it can improve light utilization and reduce power consumption, allowing seamless integration with regular eyeglasses.

According to data, in 2022, the global production of eyeglass frames approached 1.1 billion pairs, and China's domestically produced eyeglass frames were close to 1 billion pairs. 'The collision between the trillion-dollar global eyewear industry and the hundred-billion-dollar smart wearable industry creates an industry scale of at least tens of billions for smart eyewear that can be taken to the streets. We are not entangled in the red ocean or blue ocean markets; we have landed on a new continent, upgrading intelligence based on conventional eyeglasses,' explained Deng Xudong.

In terms of functionality, the currently promoted features like information prompts, schedule reminders, navigation, prompters, music, smart assistants, health monitoring, etc., are all excellent. Many AR eyewear companies demonstrated these features today. The advantage of our DigiWindow technology is that it allows consumers to use these features effortlessly. When using information prompts, navigation, and other functions, it can be done naturally, instantly, and without a sense of burden. You don't need to take it out of your bag and put it on because this pair of smart glasses is your first pair of glasses. This nearly 'invisible' solution is like an unknown 'second brain,' gaining 'asymmetric technological advantages' in daily life. Just like a calculator on the table, it has simple functionality, but when integrated into a pair of glasses, everyone can become a prodigy.

In 2024, the Apple Vision Pro will be launched. In the future, the Apple Vision Pro will continue to reduce weight, decrease in size, and increase battery life. Meanwhile, our solution needs to continue improving display quality, computing power, and interaction capabilities. Different paths leading to the same destination, both will become part of the next generation display and computing platforms, making glasses an ideal and widely adopted smart terminal. This is a common dream that everyone is working towards, a shared aspiration within the entire industry.

Based on our nearly invisible DigiWindow technology, near-eye displays can appear in various applications in the field of visual perception. In addition to AR/VR, collaborations and explorations are also underway in various interdisciplinary areas such as sports, vision health, training, myopia, and other related visual health domains.

After the speech, Xundong Technology's COO, Deng Xudong, took off his stylishly designed glasses and unveiled the mystery to the audience. He said, 'The glasses I'm wearing are a trendy pair of regular glasses. We've integrated smart display functionality into them, allowing for annotations. During my presentation, my colleague could send me messages in real-time, helping me stay informed and make adjustments. Without anyone noticing, I now have a second brain.'
