First-Person Perspective Interaction—The Breakthrough Point for AR Glasses


Wu Fei, CEO of Liangliang Shijie, believes that competition in the AR glasses industry has always followed two paths: international giants prioritize “comprehensive ecosystems,” while innovative enterprises emphasize “specialized expertise.”


Following continuous and in-depth requirements research, LLVision has summarized the three essential conditions that AR glasses must meet:


First, to ensure wearability, the device must be lightweight;

Second, core interactive technologies must be standardized;

Third, a comprehensive application service system must be in place to provide support.

The smart glasses consist of only a dozen components, with core parts featuring multifunctional integrated applications. On a circuit board no larger than a little finger, nearly 400 electronic components are arranged, and the trace width reaches the industry’s extreme limit of 70 micrometers—20% thinner than a human hair.


"Following on-site user testing, the GLXSS ME offers a wearing experience indistinguishable from that of ordinary eyeglasses, ensuring comfortable all-day wear throughout an eight-hour workday."

The Arduous Standardization of Core Technologies


The essence of AR lies in the integration of data with reality, and the ability to interpret reality is one of the most core technologies.


Liangliang Vision believes that as the most important visual interface among the three major sensory aids for humans—“vision, hearing, and speech”—its cognitive capabilities must be as real-time and precise as the human eye.


The value of first-person interaction lies in the cognitive interface that synchronizes with humans in real time.


Driven by this original intention, LLVision has dedicated itself to in-depth research and proactive strategic planning, becoming the first to integrate the AI-capable Movidius Myriad 2 chip into smart glasses such as the GLXSS ME.


This VPU, measuring only 9.5mm x 8mm, boasts an ultra-high performance-per-watt ratio; compared to traditional architectures, it delivers a 10-fold increase in computational performance while consuming only one-fifth of the power.


It is well known in the industry that development based on Movidius is highly challenging, as it requires comprehensive expertise in AI, computer vision, and embedded systems development.


To ensure the smooth deployment of algorithmic models, the team first developed a neural network inference framework compatible with mainstream training frameworks, thereby resolving deployment challenges and achieving an additional 2.25x speedup beyond the chip’s original computational performance.


Empowered by on-device AI, the GLXSS ME is capable of performing numerous high-precision edge data acquisition and recognition tasks, including the capture and identification of facial features and objects. Taking facial recognition as an example: face detection achieves an accuracy of 92.8% at 100 false positives on the FDDB benchmark, while face recognition attains an accuracy of 99.4% on the LFW dataset.

Building a First-Person Interactive Platform for Industry, Healthcare, and Security


Hardware companies have long faced a common challenge: customers need solutions, not just hardware.


Liangliang Vision recognized the importance and necessity of addressing the “last mile” early on. Over the past several years, it has consistently conducted frontline user research, continuously developed applications, and actively pursued ecosystem partnerships.


Liangliang Vision has developed dedicated first-person interaction platforms tailored for the industrial, medical, and security sectors, such as an integrated synthetic operations platform based on first-person perspective. These solutions ensure that first-person interaction achieves seamless integration from hardware to business applications.


Interestingly, new technological breakthroughs are often discovered in the process of exploring commercial applications.


When developing the enterprise application platform at Liangliang Vision, one of the most critical technical challenges stemmed from first-person perspective remote transmission, as there was no protocol architecture suitable for AR transmission prior to this.


To this end, LLVision has invested in the development of protocols capable of transmitting AR Streaming, upgrading the underlying streaming media platform architecture of GLXSS Live to a dual-stream architecture for AR Streaming. Building on existing video streams, and leveraging AI and Computer Vision (CV) technologies, LLVision has decoupled feature streams from video streams, establishing a new closed-loop data transmission system to enable bidirectional AR interaction.


This move redefines the relationship between streaming media, time, and space:


Traditional video data: static, frame-based.

AR Streaming Data: Object-centric, with each object being independent and interactive.


Liangliang Shijie defines it as: AR Flow.

Ultimately, streaming has been elevated to a new dimension through first-person perspective interaction, truly enabling AR interaction to become intelligent.
