On October 13, Thunderbird Innovation held a new product launch conference called "The Future Is Really As Seen". At the meeting, they proposed for the first time the "3 1" key elements of consumer-grade true AR glasses, including glasses form, spatial display, spatial perception interaction and scene ecology. In addition, Thunderbird Innovation also released consumer-grade real AR glasses Thunderbird X2 and new XR glasses Thunderbird Air 2, as well as Switch gaming partner JoyDock. At the same time, they also announced the important news of recently receiving tens of millions of Series A financing
Currently, some augmented reality (AR) glasses products on the market perform well in terms of display effects, but are not wirelessly integrated; or although they have space-aware interaction functions, the overall size is large and cannot be realized in the form of glasses; Some products can only serve as reminders or music players and cannot provide a true virtual-real integration experience. The vast majority of practitioners and users believe that these products do not meet the standards of consumer-grade real AR glasses
At this conference, Thunderbird X2 is the first consumer-grade true AR glasses that also have the key elements of "3 1", taking the lead in meeting the more complex needs of users.
It is understood that Thunderbird X2 adopts the industry-recognized AR optical display solution-MicroLED optical waveguide. MicroLED has the huge advantages of high brightness and low power consumption, while optical waveguides can achieve high light transmittance. Among them, diffraction optical waveguide has many advantages such as larger eyebox and better mass production efficiency. However, due to the problem of three-color combination, the industry has not launched binocular full-color MicroLED optical waveguide AR glasses
Thunderbird X2 is the industry’s first announced and mass-produced binocular full-color MicroLED AR glasses. It has a high light transmittance of more than 85% and a peak eye brightness of 1500nits. It adopts a wireless integrated glasses form to achieve high transparency and brightness in different scenes, ensuring clear display and eye contact. The glasses are equipped with a self-developed ultra-small full-color light engine, which is the first to solve the MicroLED three-color color combination problem and achieve full-color display effects. By simulating the left and right parallax of the human eye, binocular stereoscopic display is achieved. In addition, the production yield of Thunderbird's self-developed optical engine has reached 92%, far exceeding the industry average
Thunderbird Compared with the SLAM algorithm, the accuracy is equivalent. In addition, Thunderbird X2 also uses the ATW asynchronous time-space shuttle algorithm and is supported by the powerful computing power of Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chip, thereby achieving accurate virtual and real fusion and stable images, providing users with a variety of innovative virtual and real fusion AR experiences.
With the leap in product capabilities of Thunderbird X2, Thunderbird Innovation has promoted the upgrading of AR ecological construction and proposed the concept of AR Ecology 2.0 for the first time in the industry. Products in the AR ecosystem 1.0 stage mainly focus on scenes such as large-screen movie viewing and large-screen games. In the AR ecosystem 2.0 stage, Thunderbird Innovation believes that true AR glasses will be used in functional scenarios such as AR games, social networking, and large model empowerment. There is much to be done. Thunderbird Innovation further enriches the content ecology of Thunderbird X2 by cooperating with WebXR, Android native applications, and Unity several major ecological platforms, and continues to empower developers through Morpheus Plan developer activities and other means.
Thunderbird X2 is hailed as a "milestone for consumer AR glasses". Its many breakthroughs in core technology, engineering, product design and other aspects have set a new standard for the consumer AR field.

In addition, Sony’s latest generation Thunderbird Air 2 with MicroOLED screen was also released at the conference. Thunderbird Air 2 brings a high-definition giant screen equivalent to 201 inches at a distance of 6 meters, with a maximum eye brightness of 600nits and supports two refresh rates of 60/120Hz. Compared with the previous generation product, the weight of the whole machine is reduced by 12.6%, the picture is clearer, and it is more comfortable to wear. JoyDock, released together with Thunderbird Air 2, is the industry’s first Switch-exclusive XR glasses accessory. It does not require cumbersome wiring, is plug-and-play, can power the Switch, supports charging and playing at the same time, and provides the Switch with a more shocking and immersive portable game giant screen experience
The price of Thunderbird X2 is 4,999 yuan, and the initial reservation price is 4,499 yuan. Pre-sale has started on JD.com, Tmall official flagship store and Thunderbird official website
Thunderbird Air 2 is priced at 2,499 yuan, and the first-time early adopter price is 2,299 yuan; JoyDock is priced at 599 yuan, and the JoyDock and Thunderbird Air 2 set is available at a first-time discount price of 2,699 yuan. Pre-orders have been opened on JD.com and Tmall. The three new products released this time will be officially launched on October 31st.
