At the just-concluded CES in the United States, computer vision upstart Shanghai Xvisio Sensing Technology Co., Ltd. garnered widespread industry attention and recognition with its Slim Edge AI, a customizable VSLAM edge processing solution platform specifically designed for the AR/VR field.
This platform is based on Intel's Movidius high-performance AI edge processing chip, the Myriad X. In addition to meeting the high precision and low latency requirements of AR/VR glasses, its most significant feature is its integrated VSLAM engine, which integrates all the sensor interaction functions required for AR glasses, such as depth processing, audio and video interaction, gesture recognition, object recognition, and eye tracking. It is plug-and-play, easy to integrate, supports edge computing, conserves system resources, and is compatible with various optical displays and drivers, including LCOS, OLED, DLP, and Fast LCD. It also provides a rich SDK, allowing customers in the tourism, industrial, education, and healthcare sectors to directly develop products on the platform, accelerating market adoption. The platform fully demonstrates Xvisio Technology's three core competitive advantages: powerful VSLAM algorithms, highly integrated hardware deployment capabilities, and mature SDK development experience.
Slim Edge AI was first announced at the Nanchang World VR Conference in October 2019. Over the past three months, Xvisio Technology has partnered with several optical machine manufacturers to launch 6DOF solutions for AR glasses based on this platform. These include Nadejia's "Boundless" ultra-large field-of-view AR glasses and Lingxi's ultra-lightweight Slim Edge AR Glass. Also on display at the Xvisio Technology CES booth were the Dlodlo ultra-thin VR glasses V1, currently highly sought after in the VR market. Xvisio Technology is actively developing its next-generation VR glasses with 6DoF head tracking. According to Xvisio Technology, several Chinese internet giants are in discussions with the company to launch AR glasses.

Several domestic Internet giants are discussing plans to launch AR glasses with Xvisio Technology.
Xvisio Technology was founded in Silicon Valley in 2016. In 2017, it secured angel investment from Zhongke Chuangxing and established its Shanghai headquarters. The company now has offices in the US and Europe. The company has completed two rounds of financing exceeding 10 million yuan, achieved full mass production in September 2019, and saw a five-fold increase in revenue in 2019.

"At the beginning of 2019, we decisively adjusted our strategic direction and placed our focus on the more fragmented AR B-end market. We launched the Slim Edge system and Slim Edge AI platform for the AR market, which quickly opened up the AR market."
Lin Qiong
Founder, Chairman and CEO of Xvisio Technology
"In fact, we have been gradually locking in our current model and development direction through continuous strategic adjustments," said Lin Qiong, founder of Xvisio Technology. "For the ARVR market, our several key technical indicators, as well as the flexibility of high customization, the role of imported solutions in replacing each other, and the relatively low entry threshold have become a rigid demand in the rapidly growing ARVR market. Therefore, we decisively adjusted our strategic direction at the beginning of 2019, focusing our strategy on the more fragmented AR B-end market, and successively launched the Slim Edge system and Slim Edge AI platform for the AR market, which quickly opened up the AR market. Currently, many industry-leading companies in China are discussing with us about launching AR glasses." However, Lin Qiong said that if we look at it from the perspective of large-scale growth, he believes that the VR market will be faster. For example, as an accessory for mobile phone peripherals with a huge inventory, lightweight 6DOF VR glasses will be a new incremental market, which is also one of our current areas of focus and effort.
