Snapdragon AR2 Gen 1 Platform: Full Features

Distributed processing architecture

Distributes processing between a host device, such as a laptop or smartphone, and AR glasses. Using an AR processor and a co-processor that can handle latency-sensitive computing, it also distributes computation within the glasses.

Power-optimized

With Main Processor and co-processor, a reproduction engine tailored for AR displays contributes to lower the processing power by 50%.

Immersive tracking and security

Supports up to nine concurrent cameras. On-glass processing of eye tracking, and iris authentication enable new interactions and levels of security.

AI capabilities

A specially developed visual analytics engine, as well as an improved Qualcomm Spectra ISP and Qualcomm Hexagon CPU, are all included in the Snapdragon AR2 processor. Together, these contribute to a 2.5x acceleration of AI-intensive operations including image recognition, reclassification, and hand tracking, ensuring rich and immersive AR experiences.

Connectivity

Features Wi-Fi 7 connectivity with the Qualcomm® FastConnect™ 7800 mobile connectivity system with <2ms sustained latency, 40% lower power2 and support for High Band Simultaneous Multi-link. Optimized for AR experiences even in congested environments.

Sleek Design

Enables OEMs to create glasses that are high performance, comfortable and much sleeker. The smaller AR processor and multi-chip architecture help to achieve a 40% smaller PCB and 45% less wires.
