'''ThirdEye X2''' is an [[augmented reality]] [[head-mounted display]] released in 2018.
The '''ThirdEye X2''' (also known as ThirdEye X2 MR) is an enterprise-focused [[augmented reality]] and [[mixed reality]] [[smart glasses]] device developed by [[ThirdEye Gen]], announced in September 2019 and released in 2020 at approximately $2,400. Described by the company as "the smallest smart glasses on the market" at launch, the X2 MR packs stereoscopic dual 720p see-through displays with a 42° field of view (equivalent to a 90-inch screen at 10 feet), inside-out 6DoF SLAM tracking, a 13MP RGB camera, built-in thermal sensor, dual depth-sensing cameras, and 64GB storage into a compact 11-ounce form factor. The device features 500 nits brightness for outdoor visibility and runs Android with access to hundreds of applications through the ThirdEye App Store. Trusted by the US Military for its robustness and reliability, the X2 MR targets enterprise applications including field service, healthcare, manufacturing, architecture, education, and insurance, with proprietary Mobile Device Management (MDM) for security and "see-what-I-see" remote collaboration capabilities.
