The Xreal One series offers native next-generation three degrees-of-freedom (3DoF) spatial computing using a spatial co-processing chip built into the glasses. Additionally, the Xreal One series features improved support for various interpupillary distance ranges, multiple TUV Rheinland eye health certifications and even offers Sound by Bose for audio.
“The Xreal One Series represents the most advanced consumer AR glasses on the market today,” said Chi Xu, CEO and co-founder of Xreal, which rebranded from nReal last year. “With the X1 chip, we’re introducing our most significant innovation since pioneering lightweight, portable, tethered AR glasses. X1 results from over three years of cutting-edge research and development, culminating in the world’s first customized silicon explicitly designed for OST [optical see-through] AR glasses.
“This is a transformative moment for Xreal customers – X1 powers the kind of spatial computing we’ve always envisioned and that customers have eagerly awaited. Everyone will experience the Xreal One Series and see the X1 chip in action. It’s a true game-changer.”
The Xreal One works with iPhones, Androids, Steam Deck, Windows PCs, MacBooks, or anything that can provide video output over USB-C. It allows users to get a stable virtual screen and anchor it anywhere they choose in a 3D space.
The device’s built-in X1 coprocessor also delivers a low motion-to-photon (M2P) latency of 3ms at 120Hz, ensuring a smooth, stable, anchored, floating spatial screen without visual blur or image lag. It can also provide 1080p output for each eye at any angle with a 50-degree field of view.
With a nod to eye safety, the One Series AR glasses are said to be the first to be granted two new TÜV Rheinland certifications—one for high visibility in strong sunlight and the other for eye comfort. They’re also certified flicker-free and for low blue light.
On its website, Xreal is currently taking pre-orders for the Xreal One for $499 (€549) and One Pro glasses for $599 (€649). Shipping begins mid-December for the Xreal One and early next year for the Xreal One Pro.
