Huawei could be planning to make AR glasses
Can Huawei compete with Apple on the next big thing?
This year, Huawei surpassed Apple to be the world’s second biggest smartphone vendor. Now it reportedly wants to compete with Apple in a brand new area: AR glasses.
Meanwhile, Microsoft’s HoloLens costs a whopping US$3,000 and is still only for enterprise customers and developers. Intel, which showed off an impressive pair of AR glasses that actually look like something you’d wear in daily life, gave up on their product -- casting doubt on how feasible it really was.
But the smartphone vendor sounds serious about bringing AR to consumers: Richard Yu said to CNBC that they’ll put more AR experiences into smartphones first so that users can get used to them, and claim that they will then “take the experience to the next level.”
Rokid promises to mass produce AR glasses
