A VR Tuoluo article notes that the Qwen AI Glasses N1 Pro, unveiled on September 22, adds high-precision eye tracking for visual question answering, object recognition and iris payment. The Wigain Flow full-color AI glasses from Qiuguo, planned for release later, also place an iris camera in the nose pads for identity verification. Eye data is emerging as a new data source for AI glasses to understand users.
Wuhan Yuanxi Photonics has completed an angel funding round worth tens of millions of yuan, with investors including CASSTAR and Hongshan Capital. Founded in late 2025, the company will focus on metasurface optical chip R&D and product introduction, targeting the two major markets of intelligent 3D sensing and data center optical interconnects.
An article by VR Tuoluo uses Apple's iPhone Duo and its trade-offs in a foldable form factor as an example to analyze how AI glasses are shifting from adding features to subtraction: for hardware worn close to the body for long periods, removing cameras can deliver lighter weight and fewer privacy concerns.
The article argues that optical technology is the core breakthrough for the XR industry, with wafer-level optics reaching million-unit volumes and major players entering the market simultaneously.
