Immo Air 3: New AR glasses come with micro-OLED display from Sony

The manufacturer Immo is currently offering a new AR headset called the Air 3 at a discounted price as part of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Backers can reserve a unit for $899. However, this is not a straight purchase. Backers should be aware of the financial risk of potentially ending up with an inferior product or nothing at all. Delivery is planned for December 2025.

The Immo Air 3 is an AR headset that can overlay image content into the user's field of view. Unlike VR headsets or even Apple's Vision Pro, the surrounding environment remains visible. A field of view of 36 degrees and Sony micro-OLED display are advertised. This screen has a 1080p resolution and a brightness of 600 nits. Users must be aware that visibility will be significantly affected by ambient brightness and is likely to be better in darker environments. According to the manufacturer, the sRGB color space is fully covered and the refresh rate is 120Hz.

Furthermore, these AR glasses are powered by the Snapdragon XR SoC with eight cores. Up to three virtual screens can be positioned and might allow users to replicate the productivity of a multi-monitor setup on the go. For example, users could write text and watch a video at the same time. A 16MP camera is built in and can be used to record POV videos.

The included smart ring can be used to control the AR headset. Additionally, there are touch surfaces on the headset itself, while a microphone and speakers can be used for voice commands and AI assistants. Last but not least, the manufacturer advertises a battery life of up to 1.5 hours with video playback, which means that the 660mAh battery probably has to be charged quite often with productive use cases, although power banks should be an option in those cases.
