Qualcomm says the new AR1+ Gen 1 chip can deal directly with smart glasses

Qualcomm’s launched its latest processor for smart glasses, and although it is a modest upgrade on Former chipShe has a new trick. Snapdragon AR1+ Gen 1 can run AI directly on devices without the need for a smartphone or cloud connection, allowing users to go out or do only household chores with their smart glasses, as the company claims. The slide can appear in the next generation AR glasses such as Meta and Xreal.

Smart glasses often require large arms for the temple to accommodate chips and other components, but the AR1+ Gen 1 is 28 percent smaller than the AR1 Gen 1, so it is allowed to reduce the height of the temple by 20 percent. At the same time, it requires less power through the main use cases including seeing the computer, waking up with the sound, playing Bluetooth and flowing. Qualcomm also prepares the image “Premium” image through technologies such as microscopic display support, installation of images and a large multi -frame engine.

Nevertheless, the main feature is the AI ​​that works in Glass supported by NPU from Qualcomm 3G of NPU, with one small language model parameters (SLM) on the number. This allows the operation of artificial intelligence assistants who use SLMS such as Llama 1B, where users speak orders and see the results presented on glasses as a text.

“While you are on the stage, I was in the” supermarket “and I asked my Fettuccine alfredo assistance to my daughter’s birthday.” “This was the first demonstration in the world: AI’s autonomy model is fully working on a pair of smart glasses.”

Qualcomm shouted Ray Ban Glasses from Meta as well The initial model of Orion AR glasses As examples of the place where smart glass technology is heading. Then he added that technology like Snapdragon AR1+ Gen 1 will enable “the most elegant shape factors that do not waive the ability to run artificial intelligence models.” When reading between the lines, you can expect the slide to appear in independent smart glasses operating in Amnesty International in the near future.
