China's AR Grass Development Company NREAL has continued to strengthen its software functions, with the general release of the "NREAL LIGHT" developed by the company.And on March 6, the company announced that it would add CLAY AIR's optical hand -tracking solution to a glass terminal and expand its mobile carrier support and apps on the platform.
In the previous NREAL LIGHT demonstration, the Android smartphone was used as a controller so that the user moved the device and touched the screen so that it could interact with the AR objects found in glasses.However, this demonstration suggests that hand -tracking interfaces can also be used, and users can gesture in front of the glass, touch buttons, or grab virtual items.
CEO's CHI XU (Sei Sei) explains:
I don't think one is the best way to interact with MR.In fact, we can combine control options at once, but we want to provide some options to developers and users.
With the selection of Clay Air in NREAL, the glass terminal supports AR object pining, pointing, zoom, glove, swiping, and has a dynamic real -time hand skeleton overlay similar to optical hand tracking recently found in Oculus Quest.It can be displayed on the actual hands of the user.
Assuming that the mobile device uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 or 865 processor, the handlender is smooth by the options that display full hands, individual fingers, or other custom skin instead of skeletons.The two companies argue that tracking and rendering functions only have a slight effect on battery life.
Furthermore, NREAL will, with EEs providing NREAL LIGHT to British customers, and providing both NREAL LIGHT and Custom 5G apps to European market users such as Germany, such as Germany.He said that it would expand the partnership.In addition, NREAL LIGHT's new 5G games and entertainment content will be added to the coordinated machine / hardware remote repair application "AR Field Advisor", which was shown at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Tech Summit last December.
I strongly believe that complex reality (MR) and spatial computing will quickly change our lives.(Omitted) German Telecom collaborates with NREAL to maximize the possibilities of MR and demonstrate infinite possibilities that can be provided to both consumers and experts.(Omar Tazi of German Telecom SVP)
German Telecom will provide content such as 5G connectivity, edge computing, concerts, sports events, and NREAL Light games, and will support NREAL to maximize the possibility of MR.
NREAL's launcher system "Nebula", which was announced in January, functions as a 3D hub of the new NREAL LIGHT -specific app executed on Android and the 2D Android app that users want to see through AR glasses.Last month, the company said that in cooperation with Spatial, Light would bring joint work and social apps.We are also investigating MR workspace options using DataMesh.
NREAL's 499 US dollar Light Consumer Makit will be released in the second quarter of this year.The developer edition is already available for $ 1,199.
