April 27, 2022: -Nreal, a Chinese augmented reality start-up, plans to bring its smart glasses to the U.K.
The Beijing-based company said it would launch its Nreal Air AR glasses in Britain this spring through an exclusive deal with local carrier E.E., owned by telecoms group B.T.
Nreal’s glasses is allowing users to watch movies or play games on large virtual displays. They’re created to look like sunglasses, similar to Snap’s Spectacles line of smart glasses. Users can connect the glasses to their smartphones through a cable.
The Nreal Air has two important modes, “Air Casting” and “M.R. Space.” Air Casting lets users view their phone screen on a 130-inch virtual display standing four meters away, while M.R. Space combines digital objects with a user’s surrounding space.
Nreal did not give a release date or price for the device. A spokesperson said more details will be revealed: “later.”
Nreal is one of the countless companies hoping to bring augmented reality, which blends three-dimensional digital objects with the natural world, to a more mainstream audience. The tech has been around for years, but, such as virtual reality, it has struggled to find commercial success.
Recently, with the tech world abuzz with talk about the so-called “metaverse,” it’s given technologies like A.R. and V.R. a new lease on life. Companies like Microsoft and Facebook, or Meta as it’s known, want to build vast digital worlds in which millions of users can interact and transact with one another.
Peng Jin, the co-founder of Nreal, said he believes A.R. “will start a revolutionary transformation just as the internet once did.”
“A.R. will transcend the current mobile experience, especially when watching videos, exercising, and playing P.C. and cloud video games,” he added.
Founded in 2017, the company has created two A.R. headsets: the Nreal Light and Nreal Air, the latter of which it debuted in the previous year. The company has raised over $230 million from investors, including Alibaba, Nio, and Sequoia Capital China.

AspenTech, a Massachusetts-based company, plays a pivotal role in the oil and gas industry by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI (artificial intelligence). Let’s delve into how AspenTech contributes to this dynamic sector
It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.
Talking to Thomas Hundertmark, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Houston office, Darren Woods is chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil made some crucial points and also gave some insights on what the conglomerate was doing in order to save the climate.
Today oil and gas producers face severe regulatory and public relations obstacles due to the concern with greenhouse gases and resource depletion. Calgary-based start-up, Advanced Upstream (“AU”), has been disrupting the oil and gas industry with simple and reliable innovative technologies. AU’s products help the oil and gas producers to enhance energy production while reducing the corresponding environmental impact. By decreasing personnel and time on site, and lowering overall HSE risks across the board, the clients can see a notable improvement in their ESG rating, contributing to their bottom line.
Jasmin Staiblin, Chief Executive Officer of ABB Switzerland, says, “Global energy consumption continues to grow and, if left unabated, will lead to an ever-greater risk of irreversibly changing our climate. To take advantage of more sustainable energy sources, the energy landscape is in a state of profound change to allow the integration of increasing amounts of renewable energy sources into the grid, to allow infrastructure to run more intelligently and efficiently, and to ensure the supply of energy is available at all times.
