NIO Launches Augmented Reality Glasses NIO Air AR for in-Car Entertainment
Seeking Alpha2022-09-05
- NIO (NYSE:NIO) launched NIO Air AR Glasses, which were developed with augmented reality (AR) company Nreal, CnEVPostreported.
- Nreal had released its own equivalent Nreal Air in China last month. The NIO Air can project a 130-inch screen from an equivalent distance of four meters and supports 3D display.
- NIO Air will be sold at RMB 2,299, equivalent to Nreal Air's price.
- The electric car maker said the AR glasses were available for pre-order in limited capacity on the NIO Life online store and the deliveries will begin later in September.
- The glasses can be used with in-car audio systems, but only in vehicles based on NIO's latest NT 2.0 platform. Car models based on the NT 1.0 platform — NIO ES8, ES6 and EC6 — cannot connect the in-car system to the glasses, but the company noted that it was evaluating solutions for such models with the latest Alder smart system.
- The glasses are one of the cores of NIO's PanoCinema and it was the first time Nreal developed such a product for a car company, the report added.
- NIO currently provides 260 Dolby Atmos-enabled movies and about 200 3D movies.
