The '''Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition''' is a prototype wireless [[augmented reality]] [[smart glasses]] device unveiled by [[Xiaomi]] at MWC 2023. The glasses feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 1 processor with industry-leading 58 PPD (pixels per degree) "retina-level" display using dual Micro-OLED panels at FHD resolution and 1200 nits brightness. Weighing 126 grams with carbon fiber and magnesium alloy construction, the device achieves wireless latency as low as 3ms through NFC-initiated smartphone pairing, electrochromic lenses for immersive blackout or transparent AR modes, and Xiaomi AI Gesture Control using three front-facing cameras for spatial detection and micro-gesture interaction.<ref name="xiaomi">{{cite web|url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Xiaomi-Wireless-AR-Glass-Discovery-Edition-revealed-in-surprise-announcement.697599.0.html|title=Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition|publisher=NotebookCheck}}</ref>
