Smart Video Glasses OEM/ODM Solutions

Smart video glasses, also known as head-up display glasses/AR glasses/VR glasses/FPV glasses, are a new type of wearable technology that have the potential to revolutionize the way we consume media. These glasses have become increasingly popular due to their ability to provide an immersive and interactive experience to users. The glasses use micro-displays panels and optic engines that are mounted in front of the user’s eyes to create a virtual screen that appears to be much larger than it actually is, allow users to work, watch movies, play games, talk with LLM, offer a first person view (FPV) of what the camera on your drone sees and even browse the internet without the need for a traditional screen. This technology has a wide range of applications including entertainment, office, education and even medical training.

There are two main types of video glasses, based on different optic engines, which are augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR).

Smart video glasses with AR optics are designed to blend digital information with the physical world, creating a seamless user experience. Following the global trend set by Meta Ray-Ban, the market has shifted toward ultra-lightweight "AI+AR" glasses suitable for all-day wear. While birdbath optics remain the most popular choice for immersive entertainment—providing a wide field of view for movies and gaming in products like Xreal Air 2 and Huawei Vision Glass—the industry is rapidly adopting Waveguide technology for AI-integrated eyewear. Waveguide optics allow for a much slimmer, transparent, and more socially acceptable form factor, enabling AI-powered glasses to become an essential daily tool for a growing number of users.

On the other hand, smart video glasses with VR optics are designed to completely immerse users in a digital world. While consumer-grade headsets like the Meta Quest have achieved global popularity, VR glasses play a vital role in professional B2B sectors, including education, medical training, and drone piloting. The most advanced VR optic engine for these applications is pancake optics, which offers a high level of immersion in a significantly more compact form factor. At VISGLASS, we specialize in meeting the diverse requirements of our clients, providing standard and tailored AR/VR hardware solutions that cater to B2B and B2C needs.

So, how do you find the smart video glasses you want from so many options? Here are some tips.

Field of view

When choosing smart video glasses, the field of view (FOV) is a critical factor that defines your visual boundaries and immersion level. To meet the diverse needs of the global market, we offer a comprehensive range of optic solutions from high-immersion modules to cost-effective modules.

For top-tier professional VR applications, we provide the cutting-edge pancake optics with a massive 100-degree FOV, integrated with a 1.35-inch 4K Micro-OLED display panel. For clients seeking the best balance between performance and cost, we also offer a wide selection of Pancake solutions based on 1.8, 2.1, 2.24, 2.48, and 2.56-inch LCD panels. Most of these are mass-produced standard products with existing lens molds, ensuring high cost-efficiency and rapid delivery.

Meanwhile, for the popular entertainment segment, our Birdbath series remains a top choice: BB46-S068 optic engine provides a 46-degree FOV for a cinematic experience, while the BB41-S049 offers a 41-degree FOV at a highly competitive price.

Resolution and color of the screen

Another factor to consider when choosing smart video glasses is the resolution and color of the screen.  A higher resolution will provide a clearer and more detailed image, while a micro-OLED screen can provide more vivid colors and higher contrast images compared to an LCD screen, VISGLASS recommend that smart video glasses for movie watching should have a resolution of at least 1920*1080 with a micro-OLED screen, all our birdbath optics support FHD(1920*1080).

Weight

It's important to consider the weight and comfort of the glasses. Look for glasses that are lightweight and well-balanced, so they won't put too much strain on your nose or ears, our lightest optic module can reach 8.1 grams for a single eye, and the eyeglasses using this module, as adopted by our customers, can achieve around 70 grams.

Additional features

Consider any additional features that the glasses may have, such as adjustable diopters which is supported by our BB41-S049, BB46-S068 and most pancake optics, built-in eye-tracking, or 3-DoF/6-DoF support. The adjustable diopter function can allow nearsighted users to see clear images without the need for additional glasses or contact lenses.  Eye-tracking and 3-DoF/6-Dof can support various spefic applications.

We are professional manufacturers since 2016. Below is a paritial list of our smart video glasses that have already been launched.
