At a time when AR technology is booming, various companies are making efforts to seize a place in this market full of potential. Recently, Taiwan-based Lipro Vision announced an eye-catching news: it will soon launch a new AR glasses based on a monochrome green Micro LED display engine. This product is mainly aimed at the specific group of outdoor athletes., is expected to bring them an unprecedented outdoor experience.
The CEO of Lipro Vision is himself a veteran triathlete, and he also has a background as a former researcher at the Taiwan Industrial Research Institute. This unique experience has given him a deep understanding of the needs of outdoor athletes. When introducing the new glasses, he said that their design is based entirely on the actual needs of outdoor athletes. In outdoor environments, battery life and screen brightness are crucial. The new Micro LED glasses perform well in these two aspects. The battery life is more than 10 hours and the brightness is more than 4000 nits. They can easily cope with outdoor strong light environments, provide clear display effects for outdoor athletes, and ensure that they are exercising. Get critical information at any time.
It is worth mentioning that this pair of glasses uses the company's self-developed Metalens optical engine. The optical engine combines a metal lens array with a microled display. Unlike traditional side projection methods, the display is placed directly in front of your eyes. This design concept has certain similarities to the transparent AR display module of AR glasses company NewSight Reality, but Lipro Vision has its own unique innovations in technical realization and application scenarios.
Lipro Vision was established in April 2024. Although it is a young company, it has clear development goals and is committed to developing a new generation of optical engines for AI-integrated sports glasses. At present, the company has successfully developed the Metalens optical engine. Judging from the information disclosed on the official website, this light engine has significant advantages compared with traditional optical devices. Its power efficiency is improved by 4 - 6 times, which not only helps improve battery life, but also provides users with real-time visibility in strong outdoor light. At the same time, the product adopts a streamlined design, has excellent waterproof performance, and can be used underwater, greatly expanding its application scenarios. Whether it is water sports such as swimming and diving, or outdoor sports in humid environments such as rainy days, it will not affect its normal use.
This year, AI smart glasses have become a major consensus in industrial development, and many technology companies have deployed this field. In addition to the upcoming Lipro Vision single green Micro LED glasses, there are many important news in the industry recently. Meta announced that it will launch mass-produced AR glasses Meta Celeste(codenamed Hypernova) at the annual Connect conference. These glasses use a monocular head-up display (HUD) solution and embed a micro display in the lower right corner of the right lens, which can provide users with practical information such as time, weather, and notifications. It is equipped with a muscle induction wristband to achieve accurate Gesture Recognition by reading wrist muscle electrical signals, bringing users a unique interactive experience. In addition, Amazon also plans to launch a consumer-grade AR glasses internally codenamed Jayhawk in late 2026-early 2027. It is reported that the glasses will be equipped with a complete sensor array, including microphone array, stereo speakers, environment-aware camera and monocular full-color waveguide display system, very powerful.
With the active investment of these companies, the enthusiasm of the AR glasses market with display screens is unprecedentedly high and is accelerating its penetration into consumer-grade applications. Lipro Vision's new AR glasses are expected to stand out in this highly competitive market with their precise positioning for outdoor athletes, unique technical advantages and excellent performance, setting a new benchmark for the application of AR glasses in specific consumer fields. Promote the entire industry to develop in a more diversified and segmented direction.
