This technology is unique to Google and cannot be achieved by Chinese supply chain manufacturers.

Pichai expressed his hope to collaborate with TechFuture to create a groundbreaking AR glasses.

Zheng Li responded, "We need to discuss this internally, because in our previous communication with Mr. Gates, Microsoft also expressed its desire to cooperate with us in the field of AR glasses."

Compared to Microsoft, your advantages seem rather limited, don't they?

When Microsoft was mentioned, Pichai's expression immediately changed. The two companies are direct competitors in the AR field, and he knows that compared to Microsoft, Google's advantage is not limited, but nonexistent.

Looking at 2021, Microsoft's total patent value in the AR field is higher than Google's, with a total value of $168 million, more than three times that of Google.

In 2026, this gap did not narrow; in fact, it widened.

Pichai explained, "Microsoft's investment and patents in the AR field are relatively dispersed."

Microsoft's investment in AR is focused on industrial AR and data processing.

Our AR patents are primarily focused on Google Glass, which better aligns with the needs of future technological innovation.

Pichai's statement is also correct.

Microsoft's patents in the AR field mainly focus on: input devices that convert data into a form that a computer can process, and output devices that transmit data from a processor to an output device.

Interface devices are Microsoft’s largest augmented reality (AR) technology sub-segment, with over two hundred patent applications.

However, such patents have no value for the future of science and technology innovation.

Because the future of science and technology uses brain-computer interface technology, it does not require the use of other interfaces.

You can operate it directly with your brain; there's no need to convert your hands and eyes into computer signals.

Google's AR technology is what the future of science and technology innovation needs, and it mainly focuses on the field of 3D models or images.

Image quality is crucial for a hardware product in this era.

In the AR field, Microsoft and Google are a level ahead of Apple.

After his meeting with Zheng Li, Pichai told reporters:

"Zheng Li truly deserves to be called a top genius of this era; he has unique insights into many things."

Google will collaborate with TechFuture on AR augmented reality glasses.

This will be a product that changes the AR ecosystem.

After the news broke, stocks related to the A-share and AR fields experienced a surge.

It's worth noting that compared to the booming VR field, AR is somewhat stagnant.

"I've said it before: the most important area for future scientific and technological innovation is AR glasses."

Kechuang Bio has a super lithium battery in hand, which surpasses the previous AR glasses in terms of battery life alone.

Furthermore, controlling AR glasses via brain-computer interface is far more convenient than using Google Glass.

Back when I bought Google's second-generation Shadowsocks, I felt like an idiot when I was out and about using voice control to operate it.

A digital product enthusiast commented on Weibo.

In reality, Zheng Li only reached an agreement with Pichai, and there is still a long way to go before a formal cooperation agreement is signed.

But regardless of whether anything has been done or not, they just spread the word first—that's typical of the Indians.
