LAS VEGAS, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LLVision will debut Leion Hey2, the world’s first purpose-built AI-powered AR translation glasses, at CES 2026, with demonstrations at LVCC Central Hall, Booth 15453. The unveiling marks a major milestone in LLVision‘s expansion into the U.S. consumer market, advancing its vision for real-time, AR-enabled cross-language communication.

Designed from the ground up specifically for live, real-world translation, Leion Hey2 represents a new category of AR glasses focused not on display or entertainment, but on seamless human communication across languages. The product builds on LLVision‘s more than a decade of experience delivering enterprise-grade AR solutions in demanding professional environments.

Founded in 2014, LLVision has focused on building integrated AR and AI software and hardware solutions for real-world applications. Its technology foundation is supported by full-stack capabilities spanning self-developed optical modules, array light waveguide technology, metasurface lithography, and an AI Agent platform. To date, the company has built a substantial global IP portfolio, including more than 80 invention patents and over 270 AR-related patents worldwide.

Leion Hey2 arrives following strong global momentum. The product’s international debut generated over 10,000 pre-orders within two hours, and LLVision has since completed the industry’s first 100-person live field trial, including a two-hour presentation delivered entirely through the glasses by CEO Dr. Wu Fei. The demonstration validated the product’s stability and performance in extended, high-pressure, real-world scenarios. The first-generation Leion Hey has shipped more than 30,000 units globally, with users averaging 150 minutes of daily use.

Beyond market traction, LLVision‘s work has received broad international recognition. Its products and innovations have earned more than 180 industry awards, including the iF Design Award. The first-generation Leion Hey was named one of UNESCO’s Top 10 Global Innovations, while LLVision‘s design and technology have been featured in Fortune’s Best Designs and Harvard Business Review’s The Year in Tech, highlighted alongside ChatGPT as a defining technological insight.

Most recently, in December 2025, a joint research project titled “AR Smart Glasses Empowering the Hearing-Impaired,” conducted with Professor Li Ting of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (Visiting Professor at Tsinghua SEM), received the AIS Impact Award from the Association for Information Systems (AIS), recognizing the outstanding social impact of LLVision‘s AR glasses.

CHANGZHOU, China, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, Trina Storage has successfully completed a full-container 5MWh Large-Scale Fire Test (LSFT) of its self-developed Elementa 2 Pro system under extreme conditions, achieving zero thermal propagation, full structural integrity, and validated system-level safety performance under conditions far exceeding industry standards.

The test was conducted under the full supervision of internationally recognized third-parties, TÜV Rheinland and North American fire engineering consultancy Hiller, and executed in accordance with the latest NFPA 855:2026 & UL 9540A:2025-11 safety standards, under conditions more stringent than standard industry requirements.

A real-site layout — intensified far beyond test limits

• 10 cm cabinet spacing — heat concentration intensified
  Containers were arranged side-to-side at only 10 cm, far below the 60 cm standard distance, minimizing heat dissipation and increasing thermal stress.

• Maximum energy configuration — 100% SOC full installation
  The initiation container was ignited with all modules installed and charged to 100% SOC, maximizing thermal runaway.

• Fire suppression disabled — safety design fully tested without intervention
  All automatic suppression and active extinguishing functions remained OFF throughout the test, requiring the system to rely solely on its structural isolation and engineering-level safety design.

• Explosion-vent panels and ventilation system kept open — oxygen flow boosted
  Explosion-vent panels and ventilation system remained open to intensify oxygen flow, increasing combustion strength and thermal load beyond real-world failure scenarios.

Despite these extreme conditions, Elementa 2 Pro maintained structural stability and controlled thermal behavior — demonstrating complete end-to-end safety performance from cell to system.

Elevating industry safety standards to new heights

Throughout the entire test, the initiation container maintained structural integrity without any collapse, while no thermal propagation occurred in adjacent containers.

Additionally, the UPS within the initiating container remained functional, and the electrical cabinet was preserved intact, validating spatial layout, electrical isolation and equipment protection strategy. Cell temperatures remained below 43.9°C in the back-to-back container and 23.9°C in the side-by-side container — both far beneath the cell venting point.

From field validation to grid-level operation

This large-scale fire test not only validates resilience under extreme boundary conditions, but also reflects Trina Storage’s commitment to safety-first engineering and system-level innovation.

Trina Storage will continue to push safety technology forward, working with customers, regulators and partners worldwide to build a safer, more resilient and high-quality clean energy future.
