At the ongoing Inno Event in Shenzhen, OPPO has unveiled its first-ever pair of augmented reality smart glasses - a move that highlights the company's plan to diversify its product portfolio.
Dubbed as OPPO AR Glass, the wearable looks similar to other augmented reality headsets like Magic Leap and HoloLens 2 and offers 3D immersive viewing and sound.
Here are more details.

Design
OPPO AR Glasses are thinner and lighter than HoloLens
-
OPPO claims that its AR Glass is slimmer and lighter than Microsoft's HoloLens. Surely, they both share a similar design but it's hard to validate the company's claim without testing the actual product.
Further, the headset features dual fisheye cameras on the front while on the side, there are two buttons that can be used for zoom in-and-out functions, volume control, or navigation.
