Thundercomm Technologies has revealed its new VR headset and AR glasses at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Yesterday, Thundercomm announced the XR2 VR HMD and 5100 AR glasses, both of which feature Qualcomm Snapdragon technology.
The XR2 and 5100 also feature improved comfort, low-power consumption, higher resolution, and voice recognition.
Thundercomm CEO Hiro Cai says the company is excited about the XR industry’s development and growth of users and applications.
“The metaverse reshapes our imagination of the future in virtual spaces, and XR technologies laid a solid foundation for the development of (the) metaverse,” says Cai. “XR2 VR HMD and 5100 AR glasses are another flagship products to Thundercomm XR solution (sic). Thundercomm will continually work with Qualcomm Technologies and many other partners to boost the XR ecosystem development.”
Thundercomm says the XR2’s ergonomic design is lightweight and provides a comfortable wearing experience.
The device has four cameras for 6DoF head tracking and supports 6DoF controllers.
The headset also has two RGB cameras for its passthrough function, allowing users to view the outside world.
Thundercomm built the XR2 as a standalone headset but implemented USB and Wi-Fi 6 tethering functionality for PC connectivity.
The company says the XR2 also works as a development kit, and clients can use it to develop their products.
Among the 5100 AR glasses features are low power consumption, low memory usage, fast boot, and OS optimization.
As a compliment to the 5100’s voice recognition, the glasses also feature a translation function.
The glasses support a wireless connection, RGB camera, speakers, microphone, and stereo wavetable optical module.
For people and companies interested in developing AR technology, the 5100 can serve as a base product design.
Thundercomm says customers can develop AR glasses based on the 5100 design or utilize its board for faster development and production.
