'''INMO Air2''' is an [[augmented reality]] [[head-mounted display]] released in 2023.
The '''INMO Air2''' is a standalone [[augmented reality]] glasses device developed by [[INMO Technology]], released in 2023 at $899. Distinguished as one of the few truly wireless standalone AR glasses, the Air2 operates independently without requiring a smartphone or PC connection, powered by its own IMOS 2.0 operating system (a customized Android variant), Ziguang Zhanrui AI Chip with quad-core 1.8GHz processor, 2GB RAM, and 32GB storage. The glasses feature dual full-color Micro-OLED displays with vertical array waveguide technology delivering 640 × 400 resolution per eye at 60Hz with a 26° binocular field of view—a notable improvement over monocular competitors. Key hardware includes 6DoF spatial tracking via lightweight SLAM using dual cameras for scene recognition, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and GPS connectivity, and 5.5 hours of continuous battery life. The Air2 supports INMO GPT (integrated with OpenAI's GPT model) for intelligent assistance, precision translation features, teleprompter functionality, and screen mirroring from iOS/Android devices. Weighing 99 grams with 8-degree adjustable temples for varied head shapes, the INMO Air2 includes the INMO Ring controller accessory for gesture-free navigation and supports magnetic prescription lens attachments, positioning itself as a comprehensive standalone AR platform for content creators, professionals, and early adopters.
