Browse here.The GPU, display processing, and DeWarp IPs provided by VeriSilicon work in close coordination, enabling the HX77 series SoC to perform image buffering and processing without external DDR memory. This significantly reduces system latency and energy consumption, meeting the requirements of AR glasses for a highly integrated display solution. Among them, VeriSilicon’s GCNanoUltraV GPU IP delivers high-performance graphics rendering and multi-layer composition, enabling low-latency and high-quality visual output. The DC9200Nano Display Processing IP supports multiple mainstream display interfaces and flexible display topologies, enabling dual-screen independent output at dual 1080p resolution. The DW100 DeWarp Processing IP provides high-precision image distortion correction and geometric transformation processing, supporting improved visual consistency and stable visual output for AR glasses.Suker Shu, Founder and CEO of Hexagon Semi said, “The first-pass silicon success of the HX77 series SoC validates its design goals in low power consumption, high integration, and display system flexibility, fulfilling the stringent demands of AI/AR glasses for power efficiency, performance, and compact size. VeriSilicon’s mature and proven IP solutions have provided crucial support in system architecture design, display quality, and development cycle management, accelerating our product rollout for AI/AR glasses applications.”“Our team has worked closely with Hexagon to enable full-color display in lightweight glasses with ultra-low energy consumption. Through deep optimization at the pixel processing level and collaborative pixel data transmission across multiple IPs, we have significantly reduced energy usage and eliminated the need for external DDR access. For smart glasses with integrated displays, comprehensive pixel-level optimization is essential to deliver both performance and efficiency within strict energy budgets,” said Weijin Dai, Chief Strategy Officer, Executive Vice President and General Manager of IP Division at VeriSilicon. “Our Nano IP portfolio for wearables achieves an optimal balance of power efficiency, performance, and time-to-market through subsystem-level integration and optimization. We look forward to expanding our collaboration with ecosystem partners to drive the large-scale adoption of next-generation smart glasses.”Hexagon Semiconductor is committed to becoming a leading AIoT SoC company, specializing in highly integrated, low-power image processing solutions that empower customers’ innovation and propel the evolution of intelligent terminals.
