XREAL unveiled the XREAL One Series, a new line of augmented reality (AR) glasses equipped with XREAL’s first silicon chip, the X1 spatial computing chip.
Beyond the proprietary X1 co-processor, what sets the XREAL One Series apart from the competition is its fully customizable cinematic virtual screen, which is spatially controlled directly by the glasses themselves.
The XREAL One Series consists of two models: XREAL One and XREAL One Pro. Both models introduce a native three degrees-of-freedom (3DoF) spatial display powered by the X1 chip, enabling wearers to anchor and control virtual screens in three-dimensional space. The glasses are compatible with a wide range of devices via USB-C, including iOS and Android smartphones, laptops, and gaming consoles, making them versatile for productivity, entertainment, and AR applications.
Key Features
Advanced Spatial Computing:
The X1 chip delivers spatial display capabilities with an impressive low motion-to-photon (M2P) latency of only ~3ms at 120Hz, providing smooth and stable visuals.
Users can customize screen size, position, brightness, and other display settings directly on the glasses.
Optical Enhancements:
XREAL has redesigned its proprietary optical engine for the One Series, delivering a 1080p Full HD viewing experience for each eye from any angle.
The XREAL One features a triangular birdbath lens with a 50-degree field of view (FOV) and weighs 84g, while the Pro model debuts a flat-prism lens design, achieving a 57-degree FOV, weighing only 87g.
The company claims this to be the AR glasses industry’s first flat-prism lens design. It offers an 11-mm profile that is 40.9% thinner than traditional birdbath designs and expands the FOV by 23.9% compared to the XREAL Air 2 Series.
Both models offer TÜV Rheinland certifications for high visibility, low blue light, and flicker-free performance.
Audio and Comfort:
Sound by Bose enhances the audio experience with optimized mid-to-high frequencies. The glasses are constructed with a lightweight magnesium alloy frame, improved adjustable interpupillary distance (IPD) options, and prescription insert compatibility to ensure comfort and usability.
Optional Modular AI Camera:
The XREAL Eye camera, available as an accessory, captures high-definition photos and videos. Future updates will include AI-powered features like image recognition and voice-activated commands.
“The XREAL One Series represents the most advanced consumer AR glasses on the market today,” said Chi Xu, CEO and Co-founder of XREAL. “With the X1 chip, we’re introducing our biggest innovation since pioneering lightweight, portable, tethered AR glasses. X1 is the result of over three years of cutting-edge research and development, culminating in the world’s first customized silicon designed specifically for OST* AR glasses.”
Availability and Pricing
XREAL One is priced at $499 USD, with the Pro model available for $599 USD. Pre-orders are open now on XREAL.com and Amazon, with shipments expected in mid-December for the One model and early 2025 for the Pro. The glasses will be sold globally, including through retail partners in the US, UK, and Asia.
