Xreal One expands AR glasses features with modular camera | review

XrealA leader in consumer augmented reality glasses (AR), will start selling his Xreal A proThe most advanced AR glasses in the company, from July 1.

XREAL finishes deliveries for its more than 10,000 pre -orders of Xreal One Pro and offers special pre -order prices until June. I tried it and I had new experiences by using it.

Designed for power users, creators and productivity seekers, Xreal One Pro has the largest field of vision (FOV) in the consumer AR at 57 degrees, ultra-thin objectives and a re-insufficient optical system which considerably reduces the overall size and the interference of ambient light.

Compared to Xreal One, the One Pro model offers a brighter, clearer and more immersive visualization experience, while maintaining a more elegant factor in shape and the Plug-And-Play convenience which made the series a category series. XREAL ONE PRO has new flat prism lenses which are 44% thinner than the triangular lenses of previous triangular birds and produce a FOV of almost 15% larger.

“Xreal directs the market in XR display glasses, and the new pro takes everything that the company has learned and puts a huge wide screen with a wide screen in a light and highly portable package,” said Avi Greengart, president of the Techsponential research and advice company, in a press release. “Custom silicon X1 allows the One Pro virtual screen to stay anchored in space – or it can follow you gently – and the wider field of vision means that you can see a complete productivity -free presentation, but for entertainment, technology moves you a little for your favorite film.”

XREAL offers its latest cycles of pro pre -order to customers throughout June before starting sales of general availability from July 1. The price of general availability for a pro is $ 649, € 689 (euros), £ 579 GBP from Xreal.comAmazon and Bestbuy.com (with Amazon and Bestbuy.com Availability starting later in July). XREAL extends a pre -order price limited offer offer only from XREAL.COM of 599 USD, € 649 Euro, £ 549 GBP until the end of June.

To raise the AR experience even more, Xreal has unveiled a new modular camera sensor called Xreal Eye, which provides native anchoring capacities of six degrees of freedom (6dof) both to the first and a pro, as well as to take photos and videos of the first person.

“With Xreal Eye, the only series moves beyond the 3dof of the head to offer a real anchoring experience of 6do,” said Ralph Jodice, Director General of North America in Xreal, in a press release. “You can now anchor a virtual screen anywhere in your environment and move it just like a physical screen, pass in front, see it from behind, or get closer to the size. It’s not just immersive – it’s spatially real.”

With a USB-C Simple connection, you can display videos and games in an HD virtual screen, 1080p available at any time.

Practical with the device

It was quite painless to connect the Xreal One Pro to my laptop and update the firmware for glasses. It was finished fairly quickly. Then, I took a photo of the QR code and went into the tutorial, which was also quite fast.

XREAL says that your phone, PC or portable game console thinks it is connected to an external monitor when you connect it to XREAL glasses. This means that your glasses do not treat and do not store, do not do or receive your private content. Your content and information remains private, Xreal said.

I found the notion of anchoring a virtual screen anywhere quite interesting in practice. I used the USB-C cord to connect the glasses to my laptop, and I could see the screen of my laptop instantly through the glasses. The screen could move while I turned my head from one side to the other. But I could also lock him so that he stayed in place while I was moving my head. I found that it was a pretty good way to watch shows like the Thunderbirds on Netflix. I was on a plane and I was able to watch Netflix on my laptop via the glasses. And the acrobatics of the Air Force jets seemed quite incredible on the glasses.

I also removed the cord and connected it to my iPhone. It started to operate immediately, even without an application carried out on the iPhone. My iPhone was not connected to the wi-fi of the plane, but I was able to watch the programs I had downloaded on my iPhone in advance, including Turning Point: The Vietnam War, an excellent documentary on Netflix. The bose sound was quite immersive.

I transmitted it to family members on the plane. It felt like you don’t want to watch a video in this way, because it would cause dizziness. Xreal said it reduces transport evil with a self-developed stabilization algorithm while keeping your screen super smooth and super stable. It’s good for traveling and
Version by plane, train and car.

I passed it to another. We tried it and put it back. Then, I gave it to another member of the family, who connected it to an iPhone and started a film. I have never recovered it. You can get a wide variety of content on the device via your smartphone, laptop or a device nicknamed the beam, which can also load your device and read your content. The right thing is that I could stay connected with the real world and know when the on -board agents came with drinks.

There are other applications like using 120 Hz glasses to play games, but I haven’t tried it yet.

XREAL EYE modular camera

The Xreal Eye modular camera is a 12MP camera for Xreal One and Xreal One Pro. He captures POV photos and videos in the first person. It connects to your glasses when you wish and is easily removed when you don’t.

To capture photos and videos, tie the XREAL eye by removing the rectangular cap resting on the nose bridge from the glasses, then press the small button on the upper temple to capture photos. Maintain the button to start saving the video. Press again to stop the recording.

The screen adapts to your movement

Xreal Eye’s anchoring functionality considerably improves daily use. Whether it’s rhythm during calls, walking on a treadmill or moving positions while watching a film, the screen naturally adapts to your movement, just like in the physical world. The experience is more dynamic, reactive and intuitive than ever.

Xreal Eye will allow Xreal to widen the experience of a series by unlocking gestures control, in live streaming via Xreal Beam Pro and adding a multimodal AI and sewing seams of mixed reality in the future. XREAL EYE pre -orders begin Xreal.com Today for $ 99, shipping should start in July.

Since its beginnings, the XREAL One series has had a good request, with several sales and a wave of records for the One Pro, said Xreal.

In addition to the enthusiasm of customers, the one and its personalized X1 spatial treatment chip have acquired praise of criticism – winning dozens of editorial industries and rewards for innovation, display quality, comfort and design. The media and technological authorities have always classified the only series among the best AR available devices. The only pro will only increase the bar of the industry above.

This momentum is not only to threw media. In the AR / VR quarterly report Idc Worldwide AR / VR in the fourth quarter 2024, IDC declared that XREAL held global market part n ° 1 for the AR and transparent optical industry throughout 2024. IDC also declared that XREAL was the only augmented reality company to rank in the world top Five in the largest AR / VR industry from 2024.

And IDC said Xreal has been among the five main AR / VR companies per expeditions for eight consecutive quarters and is the only non -VR company to regularly reach this level. I think that the XREAL experience, which I have followed over the years, begins to become quite credible.

Formerly known as Nreal, Xreal was founded in 2017 and has since extended with offices in China, Japan, South Korea with its American headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.

These AR glasses are equipped with the company self-developed from the company, which allows a new range of
Experiences for users, of which you will have the chance to explore yourself. And they include new optics with a high prism which allow the largest field of vision for any AR apparatus on the market.

Now we have to see what he can do with AI in future models.
