Xiaodu AI Glasses Pro is equipped with a Sony sensor of about 12 million pixels and an ultra-wide-angle lens, supports 4K photos and video shooting up to 1440p 30 frames, and has electronic image stabilization, and the picture will be more stable than handheld on a mobile phone in scenarios such as running and cycling. The five-microphone array is responsible for sound reception and voice recognition, while the open-air leak-proof dual speakers are used to broadcast music, navigation, and AI answers, minimizing leakage of sound while ensuring that you can hear clearly, making it more suitable for public occasions than ordinary external speakers.
4. AI capabilities and typical scenarios
Relying on Baidu Wenxin and the "Super Xiaodu" assistant, this pair of glasses can do first-view Q&A, AI translation, object recognition, memos, recording transcription, etc. When traveling abroad, you can ask for street signs and menus while walking; when reading and learning, mark the key points with your finger or voice and automatically generate memos; Daily commuting can be to listen to songs, listen to podcasts, check the weather and itinerary. All interactions revolve around voice and vision pictures, and the biggest significance is to reduce the frequency of taking out mobile phones and looking down.
5. Applicable people and purchase suggestions
If you often shoot first-view videos, like to record your life while walking or cycling, and want to have a Chinese AI assistant to answer questions at any time, the comprehensive experience of Xiaodu AI Glasses Pro will be more appropriate; If you only take photos occasionally and mainly use them indoors, in fact, ordinary mobile phones and headphones can cover most of the needs. Two points need to be accepted before purchasing: one is highly dependent on mobile phone networks and Xiaodu ecology; Second, photographers and recordings should be notified in advance in public to avoid privacy disputes.
Q&A
Q1: Is there a big difference between Xiaodu AI glasses and the Pro version?
A: The Pro version is more complete in weight, sensor specifications, image stabilization and multi-modal AI, and is also equipped with a stronger charging case and battery life, making it a more noteworthy main version at present.
Q2: Can it be used as a complete replacement for daily headphones and cameras?
A: Light use can replace some of the needs of headphones and action cameras, but the sound quality and sound pickup are more practical than audiophile, and the shooting is mainly based on first-view recording, which is not as good as the control of mobile phones and professional cameras in terms of composition and image quality.
Q3: What should I pay attention to in terms of privacy and security?
A: There is a shooting indicator light on the frame, but others may not understand the meaning, and it is not recommended to start recording in offices, classrooms, conference rooms and other scenes; When photographing people in public, explain your purpose in advance, avoid recording sensitive conversations, and turn off unnecessary automatic backup and sharing options in the app.
Q4: Is it suitable for students or ordinary workers to start now?
A: If your scene is mainly indoor learning and office, and you only travel occasionally, it is more "fun and early adopter" in the short term; If you travel frequently, create short videos, give roadshow speeches, or commute across cities, Xiaodu AI glasses can provide continuous value in recording and assisting in information acquisition.
