The specific component that drives the highest production cost in AI/AR glasses is typically the display technology. This includes:
-
Microdisplays: High-resolution micro-OLED or LCD panels that provide crisp visuals directly in the user’s field of view. These displays are often expensive to manufacture due to their complexity.
-
Optics: Advanced optics systems, including lenses and waveguides, are used to project images accurately in AR environments. High-quality optics can significantly impact overall cost.
-
Sensors: Integrated sensors (like cameras, motion sensors, and depth sensors) are crucial for tracking the environment and user interactions, increasing production costs due to their precision and complexity.
These components require advanced engineering and manufacturing processes, contributing significantly to the final cost of AI/AR glasses.
