Introduced the most stupid “smart” glasses Sol Reader for $ 350 – they can only read
Today it is difficult to surprise someone with a virtual or augmented reality headset, smart glasses and the like. However, a new product called Sol Reader succeeded. The fact is that this is, in fact, an e-book reader with an E ink screen, only in the format of glasses. The novelty went on sale in the fall of 2023, but the company has already begun production of prototypes.
Technically, the headset is a device with two backlit E Ink displays, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support, a USB-C port for charging, and autonomy of up to 30 hours. The idea is that a regular eReader can be uncomfortable to hold when reading while lying down. Sol Reader fixes this problem. You can connect a wireless controller to turn pages.
The novelty is equipped with adjustable lenses, which allows you to adjust the interpupillary distance and sharpness. It is noted that the resolution of the screens is not too high, although there are no exact parameters yet.
The headset is expected to sell for $350, although so far the device looks very niche and is unlikely to become too popular in the market.
Lenovo previously showed a convertible laptop with two screens, one of which is a color E ink.
BOE showcased its latest developments at the ISE 2023 European Professional Audiovisual Show, including a large monitor for viewing 3D content without glasses.
This 110″ 8K 3D monitor supports 120Hz refresh rate. The manufacturer claims that the three-dimensional image on the TV screen can be seen by several users from different angles.
The TV uses innovative lens array technology combined with MiniLED and quantum dot backlight technology. So far, users can see stereoscopic images at a distance of no more than 1.5 m from the screen. However, the manufacturer states that work is ongoing, so the distance will be significantly increased in the future. Such TVs are planned to be widely used in advertising, exhibitions and many other scenarios.
BOE also showcased the first 162-inch MiniLED TV with a peak brightness of 1000 cd/m2new 65″ ultra-slim 8K TVs with 3024 local dimming zones, an 86″ interactive touch screen panel and more.

Audi Activesphere unveiled with adjustable suspension, 600 km range, AR glasses and pickup capability
Audi has unveiled the Audi Activesphere concept car, which is designed for off-road driving.
He received a protected bottom, height-adjustable suspension and convenient ways to transport sports equipment. The rear part can turn into a loading area, where you can place, for example, bicycles. That is, the crossover can be used as a pickup truck.
It will get a spacious interior where you can relax when the car is in self-driving mode. The interior fully reflects Audi’s confidence in augmented reality. Passengers will be able to wear augmented reality glasses, which will provide access to the controls of the infotainment system and the virtual assistant. There will be no usual screens, while the glasses will be able to track the indicators of your body.
If the driver wants to take control, the instrument panel and steering wheel will rise into place. Audi clearly expects to take control only at the exit from the road.
Audi claims a range of around 600 km and 270 kW fast charging using an 800 V architecture. According to the developers, the 100 kWh battery will be able to charge from 5 to 80% in 25 minutes.
It is the fourth model in Audi’s electric concept lineup. In August 2021, the company launched this initiative with the Skysphere roadster, and a month later introduced the Grandsphere sedan. Last year’s Urbansphere was called the SUV for the cities of the future, where your car will be not only a means of transportation, but also an office (or a refuge from the outside world).
