Today, Chinese smartphone manufacturer OPPO officially released its Air Glass and independently designed imaging NPU-MariSilicon X on OPPO INNO DAY 2021.

MariSilicon X is built with 6nm process technology, combined with advanced NPU, ISP and multi-layer memory architecture, provides incredible performance with higher energy efficiency, makes real-time RAW processing possible, and captures stunning 4K with real-time preview AI night video.

MariSilicon X's NPU can provide 18 trillion operations per second (TOPS), and the computing power is sufficient to support OPPO's AI algorithm. The power efficiency of the NPU is 11.6 TOPS per watt, which provides excellent performance without draining the battery.

NPU also has a dedicated tera-bps memory subsystem, which allows the chip to make full use of the computing power of the NPU without being limited by memory throughput. This feature significantly reduces the time required to copy data back and forth between storage and processing units.

MariSilicon X has dedicated DDR with additional bandwidth up to 8.5 GB/s. Its multi-layer memory architecture greatly reduces the delay caused by unnecessary read and write cycles and reduces power consumption.

When running OPPO's AI noise reduction algorithm, the performance of MariSilicon X is 20 times faster than OPPO Find X3 Pro. The new chip can also capture 4K AI night video by applying sophisticated enhancements to each frame in real time.

MariSilicon X has a powerful ISP that can capture images with an incredible 20-bit 120db dynamic range-4 times that of Find X3 Pro. It makes the contrast between the brightest and darkest areas of the image 1,000,000:1, which translates into a more realistic image.

Thanks to powerful computing power and high data throughput, MariSilicon X has completely changed the imaging pipeline, directly performing real-time 4K AI processing and 20bit HDR fusion in the pixel-level RAW domain. The chip can achieve an image signal-to-noise ratio of 8dB by processing raw imaging data, opening up a whole new world for computational photography.

MariSilicon X uses the Dual Image Pipeline design and dual original super sampling, and also releases the full potential of the OPPO RGBW sensor. It supports the separation and fusion of RGB and White signals, the signal-to-noise ratio is increased by 8.6dB, and the texture quality is increased by 1.7 times, making photos and videos More expressive.

MariSilicon X will make its commercial debut on the Find X series in the first quarter of 2022, bringing the most powerful imaging experience to smartphones.

The aR (Assisted Reality) device equipped with OPPO’s own Spark micro-projector, Micro LED and custom diffractive light guide display supports four different user interactions through touch, voice, head movement and hand movement, allowing users to have faster and better Easily access the information they need.

OPPO Air Glass has a smooth curve, creating its lightweight and simple appearance. The total weight of OPPO Air Glass is about 30g, and it can be worn like ordinary glasses.

The design of the main body draws inspiration from feathers-light, stylish and curved, with touch strips similar to elegant feather shafts. On the other hand, the design of monocular waveguide lenses is inspired by the wings of cicadas, breaking the traditional limitations of round or rounded rectangular lenses on glasses. The lens is fixed on a thin and light frame, which contains all the components, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 platform.

The self-developed Spark micro-projector uses cutting-edge Micro LED and five high-transmittance glass lenses to provide an avant-garde aR experience. The device integrates OPPO's own micro projector, advanced micro LED and custom waveguide technology to provide a bright and clear screen indoors or outdoors.

The core of the OPPO Air Glass display system is the Spark micro-projector independently developed by OPPO-one of the most compact projection systems in the industry-with a size of only 0.5cc, which is about the size of a coffee bean. The projector uses CNC metal casing and glass lens module to provide better heat dissipation and stability. The projector is powered by a new Micro LED with a brightness of up to 3 million nits.

OPPO Air Glass adopts a customized optical diffraction waveguide and supports two display modes of 16-level grayscale and 256-level grayscale. The average brightness of the glass can reach 1400 nits, which can provide the audience with a vivid and clear visual display under various lighting conditions. In addition, two layers of sapphire glass are used to wrap the waveguides on both sides to provide protection while increasing transparency.

OPPO Air Glass can be operated with OPPO Watch 2 and the Smart Glass application on any OPPO smartphone with ColorOS 11 or higher. When Air Glass is paired with OPPO Watch 2, users can also confirm, cancel and switch applications through gestures. In addition, for a new way of interaction, Air Glass can recognize head movement, for example, a light nod or shake of the head can turn on and off notifications.

OPPO Air Glass is bundled with a variety of applications, including those developed by OPPO, such as weather, calendar, health, teleprompter, translation, and navigation.

OPPO also worked closely with Baidu to customize applications such as Baidu walking and bicycle navigation and exploring nearby for OPPO Air Glass. Through the navigation function, users can receive instructions to travel on foot or by bicycle, and to explore the vicinity can display information about nearby shops and other attractions based on the user's location and direction.

OPPO Air Glass will be launched in the Chinese mainland market in the first quarter of 2022. It will be available in two colors, black or white, and two custom frame accessories.
