(Web Desk) – Oppo has introduced the Air Glass, an augmented reality gadget that will be available early next year.

Oppo refers to the Air Glass as an "assisted reality" product rather than an "augmented reality" one, implying that it projects 2D information into your field of view rather than superimposing 3D items onto the real environment. (Yes, similar to Google Glass.)

The Air Glass is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100 processor and weighs under 30g (approximately 1oz).

According to Oppo, it should last 3 hours of active use and 40 hours on standby. There are two frame styles available: a silver half-frame and a black full-frame, both in two sizes. The frame contains a magnetic port on the inside that allows it to be linked to more traditional glasses.

The glasses work alongside the Oppo Watch 2 or any Oppo smartphone running ColorOS 11 or beyond, using the Smart Glass App. The user can use touch, voice, hand motions or head movements to control it, with hand movements allowing you to confirm, cancel and move between application cards, a nod of the head able to open notifications and a shake telling the glasses you want to close them.

The glasses support a range of apps, including weather, calendar, health, teleprompter and navigation apps. You can even pair the glasses with a second set to see real-time translations in front of your eyes when holding conversations in English and Chinese.
