    CINNO Research Industry News, August 3, 2020, Ricoh (Richo) announced that the company uses unique optical technology to develop a thin and light binocular vision smart glasses
    .
    "? According to the Japanese media Fabcross report, smart glasses can superimpose electronic information in the real field of vision and are expected to be effectively used in work instructions in places such as medical treatment, construction and factories, and in daily life support areas such as walking guides
    .
    However, traditional The weight of the binocular vision smart glasses is more than three times that of ordinary glasses, which is not suitable for long-term use
    .
    ? The weight of the smart glasses developed this time is 49 grams.
    According to the company, this is the lightest binocular vision in the world.
    Type of smart glasses
    .
    The lens part uses an independently developed thin and light plastic light guide plate to reduce weight
    .
    In addition, while reducing weight, the company has also successfully ensured a wide viewing angle effect.
    About 30 inches can be seen from 1 meter away.

    .
    And because the product is manufactured by injection molding plastic microstructure, it can be mass-produced at low cost, which is also a major feature
    .
    ? Traditional smart glasses have a problem, because the display unit and the lens are integrated , So the pressure on the nose is particularly heavy
    .
    However, this time, the company developed a special optical system that uses a transfer lens to configure the display unit at the temple
    .
    In this way, the display image at the temple will be intact through the transfer lens.
    It is reproduced motionlessly near the light guide plate
    .
    This configuration makes the weight balance between the front and rear of the smart glasses uniform, so that the weight on the nose is controlled to the same level as ordinary glasses
    .
    ? "? The smart glasses are compatible with the smart phone.
    , PC connection, you can display images in front of your eyes
    .
    In addition to existing applications, new applications developed and connected device platforms can also be displayed as they are
    .
    In addition, a 9-axis sensor (acceleration, angular velocity and geomagnetism) is also equipped as standard: it can detect the walking direction to guide the road; it can be equipped with optional cameras and depth sensors to support AR (augmented reality) functions, etc.

    .
    ? The smart glasses developed this time are planned to be released at the SID Display Week 2020 Symposium online on August 3-7, 2020 (Publication date: August 5)
    .
    In the future, the company will seek partners and further develop to achieve its commercialization
