It packs two 90Hz FHD micro-OLED displays, three cameras, and head-tracking software to \u201cenable immersive experiences that unlock the metaverse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But more importantly, the new reference product is completely wireless. It uses Wi-Fi 6E and the FastConnect 6900 system to pair with a phone, which handles some processing and rendering for the glasses. (The drawback, of course, is that only newer flagship phones support FastConnect 6900 hardware.)<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118642\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/05\/c924d239.png\" alt=\"A graph showing the reference AR headset's features.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qualcomm.com\/news\/releases\/2022\/05\/20\/qualcomm-cuts-cord-new-wireless-ar-smart-viewer-reference-design-powered\">Qualcomm<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It may not sound like a big deal, but Qualcomm is trying to prove that ergonomic, lightweight AR glasses are right around the corner.

If manufacturers opt for Snapdragon chips, they can go wireless with minimal consequence.<\/p>\n<p>At least, that\u2019s the theory.
