AR — RGB Binocular
QAR-06
RGB binocular waveguide AR. Standalone, no compute puck. Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1, 76g.
01 · Position in category
QAR-06 sits in QWR's RGB binocular waveguide AR bucket alongside QAR-01, QAR-02, and QAR-03, all built on the same Snapdragon® AR1 Gen 1 platform. It is the only one of the four that runs standalone — Compute Puck is 'None (standalone)' where the other three list the puck as Supported — trading a smaller 245 mAh battery (its siblings run 600 mAh to over 1000 mAh) for full-colour MicroLED optics at 3500 nits average / 6000 nits peak, brighter than any sibling in the bucket.
