XR & AI Glasses ID Design Guide

Introduction

This document defines what brand partners may and may not change when customising QWR reference hardware. It is a prerequisite read before submitting an ID brief. For manufacturing tolerances and DFM constraints, refer to the QWR DFM Guide. For market certification obligations, refer to the QWR Regulatory Framework Guide. These three documents are designed to be read together.

Relationship to the DFM Guide

The DFM Guide governs how parts are engineered — tolerances, approved material families, drawing standards, and manufacturing constraints. Any change cleared in this document must still be validated against the DFM Guide before production drawings are issued.

Relationship to the Regulatory Framework Guide

Certification status is directly affected by the scope of ID changes. CMF changes within approved materials inherit existing certifications. Minor mould changes may require declaration updates. Major mould changes or new SoC selections require re-certification. Always cross-reference before committing to a change scope.

Product Catalogue

QWR's full reference catalogue across 33 SKUs, identified by their QWR Product Name. Expand any card for complete platform and specification data. SKU codes follow the scheme QVR-NN-NN (VR), QXR-NN-NN (XR / Mixed Reality), QA-NN (Audio Glasses), QAI-NN (AI Glasses), and QAR-NN (AR Display Glasses).

33 SKUs across families (VR Headsets × 13, XR / MR × 8, AI Glasses × 12). Each SKU has full spec tables — processor, display, optics, tracking, battery, I/O, ergonomics.

CMF Guide — Colour, Material, Finish

CMF customisation is the fastest path to a branded product. It requires no new tooling and inherits existing certifications within approved material families. All options have been pre-validated for thermal performance, skin-contact compliance, and regulatory requirements.

Mould Change Guide

Mould changes modify the physical geometry of a part. They are classified as Minor (insert modifications to existing steel) or Major (new steel or significant re-cut). Each classification carries structural, regulatory, and schedule implications and must be validated against the DFM Guide before drawing release.

Software & UI Skinning

QWR's unified software stack runs across all SoC tiers. Brand partners can customise the experience layer without forking the core OS or AI engine. Available scope maps to engagement tier in Section 06.

Engagement Tiers

Three engagement tiers govern customisation depth, commercial structure, and QWR engineering involvement. All engagements operate under NDA. Commercial terms including unit pricing and NRE are issued formally post-NDA.

Process & Timeline

Every QWR brand engagement follows a seven-stage process. Each gate is a quality and compliance checkpoint. Stages cannot be skipped.

Engagement Configurator

Identify your recommended engagement tier and indicative lead time before brief submission. All outputs are pre-NDA estimates only. No commercial terms are included.

Brief Submission Do's & Don'ts

The most common reasons an ID brief is returned before engineering feasibility review. Addressing these before submission avoids delays at every subsequent gate.

Certifications — Inheritance by Change Scope

QWR reference designs carry a full global certification stack. CMF changes within approved materials inherit certifications without re-filing. For the complete per-market compliance roadmap, refer to the QWR Regulatory Framework Guide.
