During the Annual General Meeting of Reliance Industries Limited, Jio launched a mixed reality headset that aims to transform the virtual space.
They demonstrated how it will work when it becomes available for use.
It plans to develop features such as holographic content and three-dimensional interactions along with the usual video conferencing requirements.
It is designed by Jio Platforms’ Tesseract subsidiary and weighs just 75gms. It comes with personalized audio and a simple cable that can be attached to a smartphone.
RIL said that Jio Glass is primarily designed for teachers and students to conduct holographic classes by enabling three-dimensional virtual rooms. Besides, virtual meetings can also be conducted.
To show how one could easily perform meetings in Jio Glass, President of RIL Kiran Thomas made a call to Aakash and Isha Ambani, the board directors of Reliance Jio. In the call, Aakash Ambani was shown as a three-dimensional avatar and Isha Ambani joined using a two-dimensional video call interface. All he had to say was – “Hello Jio, please call Aakash and Isha.”
The company also stated that Jio Glass will make use of the 5G services which they are working on and will begin testing soon.
According to Reliance Industries, Jio Glass will get support from 25 apps for now.
The glasses are backed by a spatial and directional XR sound system that operates all audio formats without any wired attachments. The headset has a high-resolution display, and there are vents in the frame for heat dissipation.
The company confirmed that they are collaborating with Google for their Jio products and are partnering to develop affordable smartphones,
