The Utrack AR glasses have a thermal camera and several expansion options (Image source: Utech)
The Utrack is a new AR headset that supports thermal imaging and several AI features. For instance, it is supposedly able to recognize people and vehicles over long distances, which could be useful in various situations.
The Utrack is a new AR headset that comes with a twist, as it’s essentially a thermal imaging camera. Accordingly, these glasses can probably identify objects with a temperature that differs from their surroundings with relative ease. This could be relevant for searching missing persons or potentially unauthorized intruders, but also for hunters or for detecting thermal bridges on buildings.
According to the manufacturer, the infrared sensor has a resolution of 384 x 288 pixels and can detect temperature differences of 25 mK, which is significantly less than one Kelvin. A range of up to 1,640 yards is advertised, as are other AI features.
Moreover, the new Utrack AR headset can project an 80-inch AR image and has a smooth refresh rate of 60Hz. The gadget can also be used with prescription glasses. The 3,500mAh battery should sport a battery life of up to 3 hours, and thanks to a buffer memory, the main battery can be swapped out on the fly without any downtime.
Additionally, these AR glasses can be used with sonar or an endoscope for fishing or repairs, such as in pipelines. It could also be useful as a vlogging camera. As part of the crowdfunding campaign, backers can reserve one unit of the Utrack AR glasses in return for a pledge of $1,498. The aforementioned sonar and endoscope will cost extra. Deliveries are expected to start in September, but the usual financial risks of crowdfunding campaigns also apply in this case.
I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
