PRODUCT FIT & DEVELOPMENT SCOPE
AR99-MY: from user need to product scope
Solution
AR99-MY is the separately listed Mimosa frame product on the AR99 platform. Its camera-free monocular VHG configuration weighs approximately 29 g as a bare device, excluding prescription lenses.
Target User
Optical and fashion-led eyewear brands seeking the AR99-MY frame and display configuration.
Application
Phone-assisted prompts, translation and navigation using the selected companion or partner application. AR99-MY is a display product; it does not establish specifications for a separate Mimosa audio-eyewear platform.
Customization
Review frame finish, branding, packaging, lens configuration and software integration. Logo-branded pilots on existing frames start at 200 units; final configuration, pricing and deeper development are agreed per project.
AI smart glasses, everyday sunglasses
AR99 MY supports detachable sunglass lenses with clip-on or magnetic attachment, depending on the model and configuration. With the sunglass lenses fitted, the AI smart glasses also serve as sunglasses for everyday outdoor wear.

Cat-eye frame engineering for Mimosa AR99-MY
AR99-MY has its own industrial design. It shares the AR99 display platform while defining a different frame, bridge, nose-pad and hinge configuration.
Women-first cat-eye geometry
The cat-eye silhouette and narrower, lower bridge geometry distinguish AR99-MY from the unisex AR99 frame. Evaluate the shape against representative facial profiles in your optical or retail channel.
Nose-pad system
A memory-metal frame with air-cushion nose pads provides a specific fitting approach. Nose-pad contact and pressure distribution should be checked with the selected lenses during sample evaluation.
Elastic hinge construction
The hinge combines titanium and liquid-metal elastic elements. Temple fit, retention and everyday handling belong in the product validation plan; comfort is assessed with intended users.
Materials and dimensions
The TR90 and magnesium-lithium body references approximately 29g bare-device weight, excluding prescription lenses. Reference dimensions are approximately 151 × 156 × 47.8 mm.
Fashion-led CMF
Frame colour, surface finish and branding can be discussed for fashion, lifestyle and optical-retail projects. CMF and frame changes are subject to engineering evaluation and agreed scope.
Prescription-lens projects
Integrated and snap-in lens paths support optical-chain customization. Confirm lens power, thickness, alignment, fitting and final configured weight with an approved optical partner.
Micro-LED and volume holographic grating optics
AR99-MY shares AR99 optics, electronics, firmware and software. Its physical key and temple touch area provide the reference controls; gesture mappings depend on the selected firmware and application.
Why this platform uses a VHG waveguide
AR99-MY pairs a 0.12cc Micro-LED light engine with a volume holographic grating (VHG) waveguide. The single-wavelength display and waveguide form one optical design. Brightness, optical alignment and the intended viewing conditions should be evaluated together using the reference sample.
A single green channel, by design
AR99-MY renders a single green channel at 640 × 480 and 30 Hz across a 30° field of view. It is designed to present short text, captions, navigation cues and notifications. It does not provide a full-colour image. In-eye brightness is up to 2,000 nits under reference conditions.

For AR99 MY OEM / ODM projects, ring selection, finish and package inclusion are agreed in the project quotation.
Software Support
Mentra OS support for AR99-MY channel projects
AR99 MY supports Mentra OS through its shared AR99 platform, giving fashion-led optical and retail channel partners a software route without building a companion app from zero.
AR99 and AR99 MY support Mentra OS. The supplied screenshots show Xingyi AR99 in the model selector and connected app screen.
- Retail-ready positioningUseful for optical chains, fashion eyewear brands and regional distributors that want to move faster from sample validation to channel rollout.
- No full app team requiredSupports partners that need an app-ready smart eyewear project without staffing a dedicated mobile software team.
- OEM / ODM handoffSmartXY can align hardware, documentation, localization scope and Mentra OS support discussion during the RFQ stage.
The supplied AR99 app menu shows Captions, Mentra AI, Mentra Maps, Mentra Notes, Recorder, Teleprompter and Translation. Review app version, language, permissions and target-market service availability for your project.
Camera and Livestreamer appear greyed out in this AR99 screen. AR99 and AR99 MY remain camera-free, phone-tethered display glasses.

Camera-free information display
AR99-MY contains no camera or image sensor. Information is displayed through the glasses; AI, translation and navigation run on the paired smartphone, partner application or connected service. This is a phone-tethered display architecture.
For daily-wear and enterprise projects, evaluate both the hardware and the software data flow: microphone source, permissions, storage, consent and connected-service behavior depend on the selected integration. Venue and workplace policies still apply to camera-free eyewear.
If your project requires visual capture, compare the K900 camera-equipped AI glasses platform and C100 standalone Android live AI platform.
Build your product on the AR99-MY platform
Choose a starting scope for hardware, software, branding and market validation. Each project has an agreed specification and delivery boundary.
Logo-branded pilot — from 200 units
Use existing frames with your branding, custom retail packaging and app boot branding. Confirm the reference configuration, lens path, required software support and destination markets before quotation.
Semi-custom OEM / ODM
Evaluate frame geometry and CMF, lens configuration, firmware behavior, interaction mapping, localization, accessories, SDK and companion-app integration. The agreed scope determines engineering work and validation.
Full ODM / JDM
Define new industrial design, tooling, hardware configuration and software integration against a project specification. Engineering feasibility, certification scope, development stages and acceptance criteria are agreed for the project.
A clear platform boundary
The reference optical engine, waveguide architecture, camera-free architecture, core compute platform, display resolution and colour channel define the baseline. Changes to these are assessed as new development rather than assumed to be standard options.
Commercial scope. AR99-MY supports OEM, ODM, JDM and white-label branding. Pricing, NRE and tiered volume terms are quoted on specification freeze. Certification scope and included deliverables are confirmed for the selected configuration and target markets.
