Qualcomm has a new design for wireless AR glasses that connect with phones.
Most tech companies are promising AR glasses now, but few work well with phones.
Qualcomm’s design suggests how they could work together, and without plug-in wires.
Standalone AR headsets like theHololens 2orMagic Leap 2have been bulky to date, or required separate connected processors.
The glasses connect over Wi-Fi 6 and 6E connections, promising extremely low latency.
Swart confirmed that four manufacturers are already working to develop products based on Qualcomm’s reference design.
The AR visuals will have roughly a 40-degree diagonal field of view.
According to Swart, that’s still up in the air.
Qualcomm’s design has additional swappable batteries, but choices will depend on future manufacturer decisions.
