Our specialists continuously study international experience and monitor the release of new AR glasses. We then acquire samples of the relevant equipment and develop technical solutions to ensure compatibility between new devices and the IKSAR platform. After that, we conduct long-term testing, analyzing how the device performs in various conditions.
In today’s review, we will discuss the DigiLens ARGO device, which has been tested in our laboratory throughout 2024.
It is important to note that the selection of models for adaptation to IKSAR is determined by the possibility of using AR glasses in industrial environments across various sectors. This imposes a number of specific requirements on the devices, such as: the ability to function well both outdoors and indoors, in different weather and temperature conditions, in noisy environments, in both dark and bright lighting conditions, the ability to operate for several hours without recharging, and more.
A key criterion for us is the presence of development tools in the AR glasses' software for connecting third-party software, particularly the IKSAR platform and peripheral equipment.
From our perspective, there are no inherently good or bad AR glasses. The choice of a device is determined by the intended use case and the necessary technical specifications.
Device Overview
DigiLens ARGO glasses are a so-called stand-alone device, meaning they are self-sufficient. They do not require connection to a phone or any other external unit. The glasses have an onboard processor, memory, battery, displays, cameras, microphones, sensors, and everything else we are accustomed to seeing in a standard smartphone.
DigiLens ARGO is a binocular device with two displays, allowing users to see content with both eyes. Our tests showed high image quality both indoors and in daylight outdoor conditions. It is well-suited for displaying classic 3D AR content. The screen field of view is 30 degrees, which is smaller than, for example, HoloLens 2, but it also obstructs less of the real-world view. This is sufficient to clearly and effectively display the necessary content for the user.
The manufacturer has installed the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon® XR2 Gen 1 Platform and 12GB of RAM. These specifications should ensure high data processing speed, but in practice, we observed a rather long initial boot time and certain user complaints regarding device performance during active use. This may be due to the fact that our unit comes from an early production batch, meaning the manufacturer may not have yet fine-tuned the mechanics of the DigiOS mobile operating system, built on Android 12 AOSP, and the integrated hardware.

The device weighs 200 grams, and after prolonged use, some users noted discomfort, specifically the glasses slipping down the nose and the risk of them falling off the head. We believe the manufacturer should further refine the weight balance between the side arms and the front section with displays and cameras. However, we acknowledge the advantage of the device’s compactness—it is convenient to carry, for example, in workwear pockets.
The 48-megapixel camera with autofocus allows for high-quality photos and videos, while the 128GB of built-in memory enables storing a significant amount of media files, making it possible to work with the device even in areas without connectivity.

DigiLens ARGO can be controlled via voice control (the most common method for all types of AR glasses) and via special scroll wheel with a button, which allows users to select items from dropdown lists, navigate menus, or zoom in AR content.

However, the available language models currently support only a small number of languages, so we had to install our own custom voice engine with Russian language support. This approach introduced a slight delay of fractions of a second, which can cause discomfort during intensive work.
One of the device’s weaknesses, in our opinion, is the battery and response to frequent power cycles. During our tests, the battery took at least 2 hours to fully charge, but a full charge lasted no more than 30 minutes of use. It is possible that the manufacturer has resolved this issue in later batches. Additionally, we observed system crashes and complete shutdowns when frequently turning the screen on and off, which also causes inconvenience for users.

We believe that the high price of DigiLens ARGO and a number of technical shortcomings currently hinder the widespread adoption of this model. However, we see great potential if the manufacturer can address some of the issues listed in this review in a future model and lower the cost through mass production.
