Appotronics Sets New Standards for AR Glasses at CES 2026

In a bold demonstration of innovation at CES 2026, Appotronics has unveiled its groundbreaking optical engines designed to revolutionize augmented reality (AR) glasses. With a focus on compactness and advanced technology, the company aims to redefine the user experience in wearable devices.

Leading the Charge with New Optical Designs

At the forefront of Appotronics' presentation are two state-of-the-art optical engines: the ultra-compact "Dragonfly G1 Mini" and the world's first full-color binocular display engine, the "Dragonfly C1". These engines feature a singular-engine binocular design that effectively replaces the traditional dual-engine setup widely used in the industry.

The ultra-miniaturized Dragonfly G1 Mini boasts a size of only 0.2cc, outperforming its predecessor, the Dragonfly G1, which measures 0.35cc. This small size is coupled with an impressive contrast ratio of 10001, cementing its status as the benchmark for compact AR technology. On the other hand, the Dragonfly C1 leverages pioneering technology as it establishes itself as the first RGB dual-split LCoS optical engine, delivering vibrant, full-color AR displays from a single module.

Reducing Complexity and Costs

This innovative design approach not only minimizes size but also cuts down on system volume, weight, and complexity. Manufacturers stand to benefit from reduced production costs and lower energy consumption, while gaining the freedom to design sleeker and smarter AR glasses. According to Chen Menghao, General Manager at the Appotronics Innovation Center, this transition marks a significant move towards glasses that people can wear all day long without discomfort.

"The Dragonfly C1 ushers in a new chromatic era for the industry," Chen stated. He emphasized the importance of creating a lightweight AR solution, aiming for glasses that weigh under 30 grams, comparable to standard eyewear. This goal is already being achieved with the newest Sharge Loomos AI Display Glasses S1, which weighs just 29 grams, a remarkable feat when compared to other smart glasses like the Meta Ray-Ban, which weighs in at 69 grams.

A Vision Towards Every Day Wearability

Chen pointed out that for AR glasses to become a staple of everyday life, they must seamlessly integrate into a person’s routine without becoming cumbersome. The introduction of optic customization further supports this vision, offering clients tailored lens curvature to meet specific needs and enhance user comfort.
