Recently, it was learned from insiders that Ideal Auto may release its first AI glasses as early as next month, which will appear together with Ideal's new car. As part of Ideal Auto's transformation from an automotive manufacturer to an artificial intelligence enterprise, the company attaches great importance to the AI glasses project internally. Although it currently focuses on AI shooting glasses, it also considers full-color AR glasses in the future.
Ideal Auto has been laying out AI glasses for a long time, and many related HC have been released in the first half of the year. In addition, Ideal Auto established two new secondary departments, "Space Robots" and "Wearable Robots," in the first half of the year, both of which are under the product department led by Senior Vice President Fan Haoyu. Among them, AI glasses belong to the wearable robot department.
It is reported that Ideal AI Glasses will focus on AI voice interaction, and the product may rely on the "Ideal Classmate" app. Ideal Student is a multimodal AI application launched by Ideal Auto in December last year, which supports voice knowledge Q&A, real-time video stream visual understanding, podcast listening, and other functions. It has built-in Ideal's self-developed large model MindGPT and open-source large model DeepSeek.
Among them, the visual understanding of real-time video streams is different from the traditional process of taking photos, uploading, and AI visual understanding. Users only need to point the camera at the object they want to know and ask questions through voice, and the app can quickly recognize and provide relevant information. As far as the current ideal student's functions are concerned, it can almost be said that it is tailor-made for multimodal AI glasses, and through relevant protocol docking, it can be fully migrated to the glasses end for use.
In terms of product form, the ideal first AI glasses or glasses for AI photography. According to a previous report by XR Vision, Ideal Auto's first shooting AI glasses may debut the solution of Hengxuan BES 2800+Research Extreme Micro ISP, jointly designed by Ideal Auto and GoerTek.
In terms of scenario applications, considering the platform advantages of Ideal Auto itself, the true value of Ideal AI glasses may lie in its deep integration with the intelligent automotive ecosystem. Although the AI glasses released by Xiaomi earlier did not have much linkage with cars, the only "end" that Ideal can rely on is "cars".
At present, through the Ideal Car App's mobile remote car control, functions such as remote unlocking, remote air conditioning, viewing vehicle status, location, and straight-line summoning can be achieved. Based on protocols such as Bluetooth on mobile phones, AI glasses can cleverly inherit these remote control logics, and even use AI voice interaction and underlying interconnection systems as "car keys" to expand more scenarios.
Compared to smartphones, the advantage of AI glasses is that they free up hands, are closer to natural interaction, and do not require frequent retrieval operations. In addition, car users often have a need to wear sunglasses for sun protection while driving or riding; Coincidentally, AI glasses can also perform this function through sunglasses patches/sunglasses shapes, meeting users' practical needs in shading.
