Qualcomm is on a mission to solve a big issue with the best AR glasses we see today, and it's teaming up with Belgian deep-tech startup VoxelSensors to do it: longer-lasting smart glasses without compromise.

Using Snapdragon XR platforms, VoxelSensors is bringing its new Single Photon Active Event Sensor (SPAES) 3D sensing to achieve two key features — up to 10x power savings with lower latency using XR apps in smart glasses and advancing Physical AI.

What does this mean for next-gen AR glasses? It brings spatial computing to more lightweight, everyday specs with more realistic XR visuals. If it brings better battery life, smart glasses will be a lot more viable.

But how does it all work? Let's dive into it.

Power efficiency is key

This is a huge step forward for AR glasses, as it not
