The
Snapdragon AR2 is Qualcomm Technologies' first system-on-chip (SoC) solution
designed specifically for headworn AR devices. Its distributed processing
architecture enables the development of AR smart viewers that are powerful, yet
slim and energy-efficient. Combining the groundbreaking design of Snapdragon AR2
and Goertek's leading design and development capabilities coupled with its
cumulative experience and investment in the AR field, the new AR viewer
reference design is lighter and thinner, with a total weight of just under
100g. With lightning fast Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, the design can reduce the
latency between the AR glasses and the host device (smartphone) to less than 2
ms. It consumes less energy, and supports SLAM and environmental sensing, 6 DoF
(degrees of freedom) and will support the Snapdragon Spaces™ XR Developer
Platform. The compact and lightweight appearance, combined with its exceptional
performance, makes the reference design truly wearable for a variety of
applications including mobile office, teleconferencing, gaming and
entertainment, learning, and training. At this time, the reference design is
available as a companion device to Snapdragon 8-powered smartphones that are
Snapdragon Spaces ready, with additional platforms for mobile, PC and other
computing devices to be supported in the future.
