The '''OPPO Air Glass 3''' is a prototype [[augmented reality]] [[smart glasses]] device unveiled by [[OPPO]] at MWC 2024. Marketed as the world's lightest binocular AR glasses at just 50 grams, the Air Glass 3 features dual full-color MicroLED displays using custom 0.88mm resin waveguides with 1.70 refractive index and over 1000 nits peak brightness. The glasses integrate OPPO's AndesGPT AI assistant activated by temple touch, reverse sound field technology for audio privacy, and four microphones for voice interaction. Currently requiring pairing with OPPO phones running ColorOS 13 or above, the prototype has approximately 30 minutes of battery life with commercial availability and pricing not yet announced.<ref name="oppo">{{cite web|url=https://www.oppo.com/en/newsroom/press/oppo-unveils-new-oppo-air-glass-3/|title=OPPO Unveils New OPPO Air Glass 3 at MWC 2024|publisher=OPPO}}</ref>
The '''OPPO Air Glass 3''' is a prototype [[augmented reality]] smart glasses device developed by [[OPPO]], unveiled at MWC 2024 on February 26, 2024. Representing OPPO's most advanced assisted reality glasses concept, the Air Glass 3 integrates generative AI capabilities through OPPO's AndesGPT model accessed via smartphone, enabling multimodal AI interactions that understand images, text, video, and audio. The glasses feature a self-developed resin waveguide (only 0.88mm thick with a 1.70 refractive index) paired with MicroLED projectors delivering over 1,000 nits peak eye brightness, weighing just 50 grams while maintaining a conventional eyewear appearance. Key features include an open acoustic design with four microphones for voice calls and AI voice activation (triggered by pressing the temple), reverse sound field technology for enhanced privacy, and touch controls for music playback and information display. Current functionality covers voice calls, music playback, and color image browsing, with planned features including teleprompter, navigation, translation, and health information. Unlike standalone AR glasses, the Air Glass 3 requires constant connection to an OPPO phone running ColorOS 13+ and has no built-in processor, with AndesGPT currently limited to China due to regulations. As of 2024, the Air Glass 3 remains a prototype like its predecessors and has not been announced for global commercial release.
