On March 14th, the 2024 China Household Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo (AWE2024), themed "Smart Technology, Creative Life," officially opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As a trendsetter in the electronics industry, AWE serves as a stage for various technology brands to showcase their strengths each year. Emerging AR brand ARknovv unveiled its flagship product, the "ARknovv A1 wearable consumer-grade true AR glasses," leading the way into a new era of AI integration.
At AWE, where giants compete, the ARknovv booth is bustling with activity and popularity.
The emergence of new-generation information technologies such as AI, 5G, and big data has further accelerated the development of "smart living." As one of the world's three major exhibitions for home appliances and consumer electronics, AWE plays a crucial role in the adoption and implementation of innovative products and smart living scenarios, witnessing and driving the development of China's home appliances and consumer electronics industry. It is reported that this AWE exhibition has 14 exhibition halls with a total exhibition area of over 160,000 square meters, bringing together more than a thousand consumer electronics companies in fields such as technology, innovation, intelligence, health, and low-carbon.
ARknovv A1 was showcased at booth 4C76 in Hall W4, alongside leading suppliers in the AR/VR optical module industry like "Nedgia." With features like "AI Travel Assistant," "AR Travel Guide," "3D Portable Cinema," and "AI Object Recognition," ARknovv A1 attracted numerous eyes with its useful and entertaining product design. The booth drew a crowd of media and electronics enthusiasts eager to explore and experience the exhibition.
Visitors eagerly tried out ARknovv A1 and engaged with the staff to learn more about its features and technological highlights. A local visitor from Shanghai, after experiencing ARknovv A1, was pleasantly surprised by the "Big Bang Function" integrating AI technology, exclaiming, "The AI object recognition feature is amazing! Wearing it makes me feel like I can transform into a walking encyclopedia." Many ARknovv users also enthusiastically checked in at the exhibition, sharing their expectations and suggestions for the next generation of products with ARknovv staff.
With AI at its core, ARknovv A1 has expanded into new AR application scenarios, winning multiple awards in the industry.
The AR industry is currently experiencing rapid development but remains in an exploratory phase requiring innovative changes. Due to technological limitations, many new application scenarios, especially essential ones, have not yet been developed. Currently, consumer applications mainly focus on entertainment scenarios such as gaming and movie watching, while enterprise applications concentrate on production manufacturing, cultural tourism security, and education training. The explosion of AI technology further expands the application scenarios of AR.
ARknovv A1 deeply integrates AI technology and expands into several essential consumer scenarios. From practical scenarios like "tourist guides," "location guidance," and "AI object recognition" for everyday high-frequency needs to fun and interesting scenarios like "AI creation" and "3D movie viewing," it truly realizes augmented reality and meets people's practical needs in daily life, providing new ideas and product directions for the AR industry.
It is understood that the rising star ARknovv has won several industry awards, including the "2023 Metaverse Innovation Hardware Award," "2023 Annual Metaverse Most Valuable Investment Focus List - Industry Innovation Enterprise," "2023 World VR Industry Conference VR/AR Innovation Award," "2023 Jifeng Tech Explosive List - Annual Best Trending AR Glasses," and "2023 Annual Honor List - Metaverse Innovation Hardware List (XR Machine)," demonstrating its strong product technology and brand strength.
ARknovv leverages AR+AI as its competitive barrier, creating an AI super terminal.
As one of the most prominent startups in the AR sector, ARknovv's founder, Wu Dezhou, previously served as the president of ByteDance's New Stone Lab, a partner at Smartisan Technology, and the general manager of Huawei's Honor product line. With over 20 years of experience in the smart hardware industry, Wu Dezhou believes that AR glasses will be the ideal hardware carrier for the next golden age of smart hardware.
In multiple interviews, he has expressed that AI technology is the core driving force behind the development of AR. For devices like AR glasses, he believes that only by further integrating AI technology can we enhance a more humanized and efficient interaction between users and the real world.
Wu Dezhou believes that AI is reshaping consumer hardware products, and AR glasses will be the best hardware terminal for AI applications in the future. As the first company in the industry to achieve "AR+AI deep integration," ARknovv will continue to leverage its advantages in AI algorithms. With "wearable consumer-grade AR glasses" as its platform, ARknovv aims to create an AI super terminal and become the optimal carrier for AI Agents.
