At present, there are various ar glasses on the market. They try to achieve more functions through one device, but the cost and price have become the biggest problem. Shixiang technology has found this pain point and launched a variety of AR devices, which are mainly used in film viewing, education, industry, culture and tourism and other fields. What we got from Sina VR this time is the newly listed visual enjoyment G330, and the official price is 2999 yuan.

At present, many ar enterprises have entered the C-end market. In this context, Guangzhou Shixiang, which is mainly oriented to the C-end market, also made a heavy blow. It is understood that Shixiang was founded in April 2020. The company is committed to creating XR smart glasses with light weight, rich functions and natural interaction. Through near eye display and interaction, more people can enjoy the beautiful life brought by technology.

G330 is mainly for movie viewing. The product slogan is very simple: your portable theater. From the outside world, the product highlights its remarkable characteristics from slogan to the product itself: light and thin, easy to carry, viewing, fashion and so on. In the view of professionals, G330, as the latest product of visual technology, integrates many advantages and brings a more comfortable viewing experience.

1. Product appearance
2. The appearance of G330 is different from that of ordinary glasses, because optical modules are needed to achieve large screen effect. The thickness will be thicker than traditional glasses. At the same time, it also increases the sense of space and gives more creative space for structure and appearance design. The appearance design of G330 highlights the sense of digital technology. After taking it, there will be a visual sense of matrix. More importantly, visualine has reduced its weight to only 69g, which is lighter than similar products.
3. The brightness can be adjusted on the left leg of the glasses, and the volume key can be adjusted on the right leg. It is unprecedented on the equipment experienced by Sina VR before. In the interior of the glasses legs, visualine technology has placed two speakers to achieve the effect of three-dimensional surround sound. G330 is equipped with a fixed nose support. A distance sensor can be seen on the upper part of the nose support to sense whether you are using glasses at any time.
4. In terms of appearance, G330 is a very fashionable ar glasses, which is more mellow than Shixiang g350. It has a sense of technology and a gentle charm at the same time. At present, G330 has been fitted with the appearance of daily glasses. Even if it is worn out, it is also an online piece of “appearance value”.
5. 2. Optical and display scheme
6. At present, the market is mainly divided into prism scheme, birdbath scheme, free-form surface scheme, off-axis holographic lens scheme and optical waveguide scheme. G330 adopts the mature BB (birdbath) optical solution, which has been developed for a long time. At present, goer, crystal optoelectronics and other enterprises have mature BB optical solutions.
7. The BB scheme is called birdbath because it looks like a spherical mirror / combiner of a typical bird basin. The basin combines two main optical components, a spherical mirror / combiner (partial mirror) and a spectroscope.
8. Source: ODG
9. Birdbath projects the light from the OLED into the spectroscope, which maintains a 45 degree angle with the light source plane of the organic light emitting diode. The spectroscope has the characteristics of reflection (R) and transmission (T), which allows the light to be partially reflected in the percentage of R, and the light returned by the spectroscope is redirected to the eye by the concave mirror.
10. The cost of BB scheme is usually relatively low and relatively small, which can realize lightweight and good display effect. In addition, the design fundamentally supports a very wide FOV (field of view angle). At present, birdbath optical modules are generally slightly thicker, but visual enjoyment makes the G330 look more natural through design.
11. At present, birdbath ar glasses will block at least part of the ambient light. Especially from the front, you can see the reflection of the glasses. Normal wearing is similar to sunglasses. The G330 has a certain optimization in the use experience. It does not affect the viewing due to light transmission. In addition, it also comes with two mirror covers that can be replaced to realize the random switching of natural light environment.
12. In addition to the mature BB optical scheme, G330 also adopts the industry’s promising microoled screen. At present, many electronic device screens are LCD, OLED, minioled, microoled, etc. many people are easy to confuse microoled and microled. In fact, they are different products.
13. Microoled mainly uses luminescent materials between two layers of electrodes. After the current passes through, it will emit monochromatic light, and then generate the required color through the color filter. The microoled light source module is generated by depositing OLED onto the substrate using vapor deposition. In addition to the advantages of OLED self illumination, the panel thickness and volume are thinner, smaller (the diagonal of the display is usually less than two inches) and lower energy consumption than before. In addition, it is easier to achieve high PPI (pixel density) due to its short response time and high luminous efficiency.
14. With compact size and high pixel density, microoled is very suitable for VR / AR devices. Previously, it was reported that the apple glasses display uses micro OLED, and the display scheme seems to have been recognized by apple. According to a report, the OLED micro display market will be worth US $123.94 million in 2020 and is expected to reach US $5183.8 million by 2026.
15. Because of the use of micro OLED, the visual G330 also achieves smaller volume and better display effect. Every point is very important for an AR glasses focusing on viewing.
16. 3. Use experience
17. So, how about the visual G330 experience with the dual blessing of BB scheme and micro OLED?
18. G330 adopts wired connection, which is suitable for most mobile phones on the market. Some Android phones need to download app for use, and iPhone users need to use it with the help of T10 screen transmitter.
19. Plug and play for viewing, it can be quickly connected and used without complex operation. And the connecting socket is located behind the mirror leg, which will not affect the experience. Even users who have not used ar glasses should use G
