Microsoft AR glasses new patent: hot-swappable battery design to solve battery life anxiety

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) Microsoft is delving into the field of augmented reality (AR) and recently applied for a patent related to "hot-swappable battery".

The special benefit, released on October 5, 2023, describes the modular design of AR glasses, where hot-swappable batteries are placed on the legs of the glasses and can be replaced directly, which is a big improvement for the life of AR glasses.

Not only that, the removable battery (whether in the mirror leg or the removable handset part) provides users with the option to wear glasses without the battery, which can reduce the weight and the size of the equipment and ensure comfort during long working hours.

The patent also reveals that AR glasses can be connected to external devices such as necklaces or backpacks, which sounds like a lot of imagination, such as matching other accessories or even putting a high-performance mainframe in the backpack and then connecting to AR glasses.

Of course, this patent is only a patent at present, and it will take some time for it to be applied to the actual product. What do the CTOnews.com friends think of this design?
