Grand Interview
Your innovative integration of BirdBath optical technology in Inair AR Spatial Computer represents a significant advancement in AR display solutions - could you elaborate on how this technology enhances the user experience while maintaining the remarkably lightweight 77g design?
Traditional AR headsets often rely on free-form waveguides or complex prism assemblies, resulting in bulky size, intricate assembly, and limited everyday usability.Inair adopts a BirdBath optical architecture that folds the light path into an ultra-short trajectory, reducing the display module’s structural thickness by approximately 40% and achieving an overall weight reduction of about 85% compared to mainstream headsets.This design maintains a wide field of view and high visual clarity while keeping the total device weight under 77 grams. Its key advantages—compact size, lightweight balance, stable assembly, and minimal facial occlusion—enable true eyewear-level portability, allowing users to engage in spatial computing as naturally as wearing a pair of glasses.
The multimodal AI recognition technology in Inair AR Spatial Computer appears to be a cornerstone of its intelligent interaction system - how does this technology adapt to individual user behaviors and optimize information processing in real-time?
Inair’s multimodal AI recognition system is built upon a multi-sensor architecture that integrates microphone arrays, eye-tracking modules, gyroscopes, and motion sensors to continuously capture diverse signals such as voice, gaze, gestures, and spatial orientation.These inputs are processed locally through encrypted edge computing, then fused and analyzed by cloud-based AI models to interpret user intent, attention, and situational context with precision.Based on this architecture, the system delivers four essential capabilities: • Voice understanding: natural-language recognition and contextual reasoning for semantic-level dialogue and command control; • Environmental sensing: adaptive brightness and electrochromic lens transparency adjustment in response to both virtual content and real-world lighting; • Content recognition: intelligent detection of documents or videos being viewed, proactively providing summaries, translations, or supplementary materials; • Visual enhancement: AI-driven depth reconstruction that transforms 2D imagery into immersive, real-time 3D presentation.Unlike conventional devices that merely respond to inputs, Inair’s AI actively learns and adapts to each user’s rhythm and cognitive pattern—optimizing focus and information flow across multitasking, reading, and conferencing scenarios.It transforms spatial computing from a complex tool into a natural companion—reducing cognitive friction, extending perception and imagination, and allowing technology to harmonize with human attention and creativity.
Given the growing demands of remote work across finance and IT sectors, how does Inair AR Spatial Computer's systematic application arrangement and dynamic management capabilities address the specific challenges faced by professionals in these fields?
In industries such as finance and IT, where information density and multitasking demands are exceptionally high, traditional dual-monitor setups often restrict workspace efficiency and focus—particularly in remote environments.The Inair AR Spatial Computer redefines this experience through a systematic spatial layout and adaptive workspace management, delivering three key advantages: • Efficiency (Portable Multiscreen): Within a 9-meter spatial depth, users can open up to six virtual screens simultaneously—controlled via gesture, voice, or gaze—creating a fully portable multi-display workstation for analysis, conferencing, and development. • Connectivity (Cross-Platform Ecosystem): Seamlessly connects with PCs, Macs, Android phones, and iPhones, enabling cloud-synchronized app states and file continuity for uninterrupted workflow across locations. • Privacy & Security: Equipped with fingerprint authentication and visual privacy protection, ensuring sensitive content remains visible only to the user while maintaining enterprise-grade data isolation in multitasking environments.AI algorithms continuously adapt to individual working patterns, dynamically optimizing focus and spatial arrangement so that critical information remains within the user’s natural field of view.This design elevates remote work from a constrained desktop experience to a personal spatial workspace—merging efficiency, security, and seamless connectivity into a single, human-centered computing environment.

- Production Technology
- Inair glasses utilize the BirdBath optical solution to deliver high-definition large-screen projection. Ergonomic enhancements, such as flexible composite material temples and directional noise cancellation, improve comfort and privacy. The Pod host innovatively integrates spatial ray and touch interaction, complemented by linear motor feedback for a more natural and intuitive operation. Paired with the spatial touch keyboard, it further enhances the efficiency of spatial interaction.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge of this project was integrating complex functionalities and numerous components into a sleek, compact, and lightweight design. To enable an efficient multi-screen workspace, the device needed to support high-performance computing, high-definition displays, and intelligent interactions—features that typically require bulky hardware. The team conducted in-depth research on hardware stacking, thermal management, and power optimization. Through material innovations and structural design, they ensured that the device remained lightweight while delivering exceptional performance and user experience.
- Research
- This study explores the application of spatial computing and AI productivity tools in office scenarios, balancing portability with an efficient multi-screen experience while meeting the demands of intelligent work. Through user interviews, usability testing, and data analysis, over 200 professionals were tested in multi-screen collaboration, remote meetings, and AI assistant applications. Findings reveal that screen size impacts work efficiency, large screens and portability are difficult to reconcile, and the potential of AI assistants remains underutilized. Inair leverages BirdBath optical technology for an immersive large-screen experience, integrating spatial ray + touch interaction and AI buttons to enhance workflow and drive the evolution of AI productivity tools.
- Inspiration
- As digitalization accelerates, traditional work remains limited by hardware, fragmented interactions, and inefficiency. Remote work is expanding, but its adoption varies. More than 50% of jobs in finance and IT can be done remotely, while roles that require collaboration or specialized tools face challenges. People seek freedom from spatial and device constraints, aiming for seamless productivity and a better work-life balance.
- Project Duration
- The project was launched in Beijing and Hong Kong in August 2024 and has received multiple prestigious awards, including 36Kr’s “Future Business King of the Year,” GeekPark’s “Favorite Product of the Year,” and the Golden Gyro Award for “Best Emerging VR/AR Enterprise.”
In terms of sales, Inair ranked first in the AR category in sales revenue during China’s Double 11 and Double 12 shopping festivals in 2024 and secured the top spot in the AR device industry multiple times on single-day rankings.
In 2025, Inair made its debut at CES, gaining coverage from international tech media such as Tom’s Guide and receiving attention from major media outlets, including CCTV. - Operation Flow
