XREAL has rolled out a real-time 3D conversion function to its flagship AR glasses, which the corporate says converts any 2D content material to 3D.
Xreal initially launched its ‘Actual 3D’ software program on Xreal 1S AR glasses earlier this month, nonetheless now the corporate has rolled out an replace to Xreal One and One Professional that brings elective real-time 3D conversion to 2D content material.
The corporate says Actual 3D doesn’t require particular video information, apps, DRM-protected content material, or exterior software program. All the conversion is finished in real-time on machine by way of the corporate’s X1 spatial computing chipset constructed into the One sequence glasses.
“As a result of it doesn’t rely on proprietary gamers or codecs, Actual 3D works throughout linked desktops, consoles, telephones, and different units,” the corporate says, noting that content material contains motion pictures, streaming movies, regionally saved media, and video games.
Xreal tells Highway to VR it does this through the use of the X1 chip’s NPU (neural processing unit) to carry out depth estimation inference on each incoming body and to generate the corresponding left- and right-eye views with depth relationships.
The corporate says it’s nonetheless investigating Actual 3D’s latency. Notably, the corporate says that when in comparison with different show modes, its real-time 3D conversion ends in “barely larger energy consumption,” one thing Xreal says is round 300mW.
Moreover, Xreal tells Highway to VR that its Actual 3D expertise is completely developed in-house.
“We educated a extremely compact mannequin that balances efficiency and energy consumption particularly for integrating into the X1 chip. Whereas real-time 3D conversion is comparatively simple on high-end GPUs, we have now not discovered any comparable options within the business that may function successfully on low-power platforms like X1.”
The Beijing-based AR glasses maker sells a reasonably big selection of AR glasses, all of which goal conventional content material consumption, corresponding to flatscreen video games, TV and movie operating by itself Android-based working system.
Alongside the announcement it had secured a $100 million financing spherical, Xreal additionally not too long ago turned Google’s lead AR companion following a multi-year extension of an settlement initially initially began in late 2024.
In consequence, Xreal goals to carry Google’s Android XR working system to its AR glasses over the following few years, which is slated to kick off with Xreal’s Venture Aura when it launches in some unspecified time in the future this yr. Within the meantime, you possibly can try our current hands-on with Venture Aura right here.
