Bose is the next company to take on augmented reality (AR) wearables, if with a twist-- the Bose AR platform claims to be "the world’s first audio augmented reality platform."
First presented at SXSW 2018, the Bose AR glasses might look like the recently revealed Intel Vaunt, but they do not involve displays or cameras of any kind. Instead the glasses act as a kind of wearable headphone, providing users with "an audible layer of information and experiences."
"Unlike other augmented reality products and platforms, Bose AR doesn't change what you see, but knows what you're looking at-- without an integrated lens or phone camera," the company adds.
The S. Korean company offers a total of 10 OLED TVs for 2018, including the W8, G8, E8, C8 and B8. Each model comes in a range of form factors, such as Picture-on-Wall (model 77/65W8), One Glass Screen (model G5G8), Picture-on-Glass (model 65/55E8) and Cinema Screen (model 77/65/55C8 and 65/55B8). Screen sizes range from 55- to 77-inch, with the 9 AI-enabled SUHD sets (model SK95, SK85 and SK80) coming in sizing ranging from 49- to 75-inch.
The top accessory according to Premier Farnell is the camera. A number of official Raspberry Pi camera modules are available, and these found uses ranging from low-light photography (NoIR Camera), drones, security cameras, school projects and even a theremin, an electronic musical instruments played without physical contact.
The Intuos upgrade comes in two sizes-- small and medium. The tablets connect to PCs via Bluetooth (or USB cable in the case of a lower-cost version of the small tablet) and customers can choose two out of three bundled software options, Corel Painter Essentials 6, Corel AfterShot 3 or Clip Studio Paint Pro.
“When I introduce the first model, I don’t want to give the impression that Samsung delivered another affordable mass model,” Koh tells the WSJ. “I want to focus on more premium.”
