New Smart Glasses from Acer
Alongside new computers, tablets, and handhelds, Acer has also announced two new smart glasses. The glasses are the Acer AR Vision GR0 which are AR glasses, and the Acer GI0 AI Glasses, which are smart glasses like the Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses.
Features of the AR Vision GR0
The Acer AR Vision GR0 connects to a smartphone, laptop, or a device with display output support via a wired connection. When linked to a compatible device, the dual micro-OLED displays combine to project a virtual screen that’s up to 172 inches in size. This makes them suitable for gaming, watching movies, or even productive work. The AR Vision GR0 also has support for displaying 2D and 3D content.
The two micro OLED displays have a resolution of 1920 × 1080 in 2D mode and a 3840 × 1080 resolution in 3D mode. They also have a 60Hz refresh rate, DCI-P3 color gamut, 24-bit color, a 50,000:1 contrast ratio, and 200 nits of brightness.
Controls and Compatibility
The Acer AR Vision GR0 features touch controls for adjusting the brightness and volume, built-in stereo speakers, a detachable light shield, and optional myopia magnetic lens. The glasses have an interpupillary distance of 64mm and weigh 69 grams. The Acer AR Vision GR0 glasses are compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows.
Introducing the Acer GI0 AI Glasses
The Acer GI0, on the other hand, are smart AI glasses powered by Gemini. Users can ask questions, request directions, and analyse images using the glasses. They also have support for instant translation and have a voice recording function, which can be useful when having a meeting.
The Acer GI0 AI glasses have a 12MP camera that has an image resolution of 3024 × 4032 and can record in 1080p at 30fps. They also have 32GB of eMMC storage, stereo speakers, three microphones, Bluetooth 5.0, and Wi-Fi 5. There’s a 217mAh battery inside, but Acer doesn’t say how many hours of battery life users can expect. The glasses have a power input of 5W (5V 1A).
Software and Companion App
However, Acer states that the GI0 AI glasses have a companion app called the AspireSync and they can be connected to an Android smartphone (Android 12 and above) or iPhone (iOS 15 and above). They weigh just 46 grams (frames only).
