On October 19, 2020, at the Nanchang VR/AR Products and Applications Exhibition, Xvisio Technology announced the full launch of its blockbuster developer kit, the SlimEdge XR Starter Kit, which integrates AR (augmented reality), AI (artificial intelligence) and CV (computer vision) functions.
This is an edge-processing AR solution based on Intel Movidius' high-performance VPU, integrating Xvisio Technology's years of R&D and mass production experience. It features a high-speed edge-processing VSLAM engine, a high-precision and high-speed depth engine, an AI inference engine, an audio and video processing engine, an eye-control and gesture interaction engine, and a high-definition AR see-through display. It boasts extensive environmental perception sensor cluster processing capabilities to support high-end AR/MR headsets. The developer SDK supports multiple SLAM modes, as well as plane detection, 3D reconstruction, 3D object recognition, and tracking, enabling rapid implementation of core AR experiences with spatial anchoring and precise virtual-real integration.
SlimEdge XR Starter Kit
The SlimEdge XR Starter Kit is compatible with Windows, Android, and Linux systems, and can be connected to PCs, mobile phones, and standalone computing units via USB Type C. To facilitate developers, Xvisio Technology and its partners have jointly created a high-performance AR computing unit with 5G capabilities.
This platform deeply integrates AI capabilities with AR spatial perception and interaction. Leveraging the Intel OpenVino toolchain, it adapts and optimizes mainstream AI models, enabling rapid utilization of a large number of offline-trained models. Furthermore, users can easily develop CV applications using OpenCV on this platform, allowing traditional CV tools to shine in AR workflows. This platform is widely applicable across industries such as industry, education, healthcare, construction, security, and entertainment, supporting customized development and significantly shortening product development cycles and costs.
The SlimEdge XR Starter Kit is compatible with Windows, Android, and Linux systems, connecting to PCs, mobile phones, and standalone computing units via USB Type-C. To facilitate developers, Xvisio Technology and its partners have created a high-performance AR computing unit with 5G capabilities. They have deeply adapted and optimized the Xvisio AR SDK with Nibiru Studio, the Nibiru 3D digital engine, providing users with a plug-and-play experience and development environment. The kit, which debuted at the Guangzhou AR Expo in August of this year, is now generally available. It includes solutions for birdbath, freeform surfaces, and optical waveguides to meet the needs of diverse application scenarios.
"Over the past three years, driven by demand from premium global customers, we've helped many renowned companies implement AR perception and interaction capabilities and deliver them. Now, we're leveraging our years of experience in VSLAM algorithm development, hardware deployment, and AR system integration into a platform. We hope to help companies looking to enter the AR/VR market quickly launch their projects, completing proof of concept and ultimately implementation at the lowest cost," said Lin Qiong, founder and CEO of Xvisio Technology. "Empowering AR companies, fulfilling AR dreams, and helping them realize applications is what we're most passionate about and are doing!"
