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.

Mimosa cat-eye colour collection
Four reference colours: confirm sample colour, configuration, availability and delivery in the project quotation.
The cat-eye frame has memory-metal air-cushion nose pads, a titanium and liquid-metal elastic hinge, and magnesium-lithium alloy with TR90. Reference dimensions are approximately 151 × 156 × 47.8 mm. Bare-device weight is approximately 29g, excluding prescription lenses; fitting and final configured weight are assessed per optical project.
Reference styling images. Colour appearance varies with lighting and screen settings; final finish and fit are confirmed on the selected sample.
Seven phone-connected AI workflows
The glasses present concise information; a paired phone, supported application or connected service performs the AI processing. Features below describe integration workflows, with application availability, languages, service accounts, connectivity, permissions and release versions confirmed for your project.
Real-time Translation
A supported application on the paired phone or a connected service prepares translated captions for the glasses. Languages, accuracy, response time and availability depend on the selected integration, service and network.
Teleprompter
A supported phone application supplies scripts or presentation cues to the display. Scrolling, pacing and control mappings follow the selected application and firmware.
Live Navigation
A paired phone application supplies glanceable route instructions. Map coverage, positioning, network access and supported routes depend on the selected service; the wearer must remain attentive to the surroundings.
AI Trip Planning
The paired phone application or connected AI service prepares trip suggestions and concise itinerary information for display. This is a host-processed workflow, not an on-glasses model or a guarantee of current travel information.
Voice-to-Text
The agreed microphone and phone/service workflow converts speech into displayable text. Review language support, permissions, consent, storage and transcription behavior for the selected application.
Lyrics Display
A supported phone application supplies available lyrics for display. Music-service support, lyric availability and display timing are determined by the agreed software integration.
Ask AI
Requests are processed by the paired phone application or a connected AI service, with concise responses returned to the glasses. Model access, account requirements, output behavior and service availability depend on the project configuration.
