ARO gives the user the opportunity to create a mobile, personalized, individualized and augmented workplace regardless of his physical location or workplace. For this, the user needs at least the ARO Smart Glasses (AR glasses). The glasses serve as a medium with the help of which the physical environment is enriched with the configured virtual content of the workplace.
The frame of the ARO smart glasses is made of fiberglass, plastic or aluminum, depending on the configuration. The shape is based on the classic panto version.
Ultra Wide Camera
13 mm focal length
ƒ/2.4 aperture
5-element lens
120° field of view
18MP sensor
The ARO ring pads help you navigate through the augmented space. Both surfaces are touch-sensitive and complement the mouse and keyboard. You wear the ARO ring pads on your index fingers and operate the touch surfaces with your thumbs.

The interface surfaces are simple, straight and characterized by transparency and glass textures. The visual focus in the context of all menus is on the application iconography, which is displayed in a contrasting color from its basic areas. Certain statuses are represented by light emission. The transparency and luminosity of all interface elements adapt to the natural and artificial light sources of the environment. So show z. B. anchor surfaces in a light environment always dark blue and semi-transparent and vice versa in a dark environment light gray and luminous.
The size of a work area depends on the available spatial area. The sensors of the smart glasses recognize the individual components of a workplace such as B. the monitor and the keyboard and offer suitable anchor points for work surfaces around this area. In addition, real work surfaces such as the tabletop or cabinet surfaces are recognized, measured and offered as anchor points for work surfaces with a horizontal orientation.
When arranging, the user can choose between primary, secondary and tertiary work surfaces, depending on the estimated frequency of use of the applications and programs displayed there. The visibility and virtual haptics of the work surfaces can also be configured. In the standard setting, the work surfaces have the appearance of semi-transparent glass.
In the first step of the installation wizard you have to create a customer account. If our explanation of data backups and personalized customer service convinces you, register directly and become part of the ARO community. After receiving the confirmation email and successfully registering, the second step follows - the coupling of the hardware. Here you have to ensure that there is a Bluetooth connection. Once your rank pads are connected, familiarize yourself with the feel and the difference between the typing and pressing gestures. As soon as both ring pads have been recognized, they will appear in the installation wizard window. The AR glasses are now paired. To do this, put on your glasses and press the button on the left arm. In the third and last step, you can optionally use the wizard to search the device for compatible applications.
The range of augmented reality solutions is growing daily and the number of providers of AR glasses is increasing, but there is still a lack of solutions that are suitable for the masses and are not only reserved for innovative agencies. It seems that current products are constantly being improved in their areas, but that no new areas of application are being opened up for mass use. At the same time, the demand, triggered by opportunities in the area of VR, is increasing and barriers such as slow data transmission and other technical hurdles are decreasing in times of 5G.
The main indicator of the idea behind ARO, however, was that AR user interfaces of existing solutions compared to their two-dimensional siblings have hardly been tested and often seem poorly thought out. Virtual, multidimensional interfaces should not only be designed when there is a consumer solution in the field of AR glasses that is suitable for the masses. Rather, there should already be software that can be used at this point in time, which meets all new requirements for a user interface in virtual space and has been tried and tested.
