XREAL, a leading player in the augmented reality (AR) market, recently announced the availability of their new product, the XREAL Air 2 Pro AR glasses. Designed to be affordable and fully-featured, these glasses mark a significant step forward in spatial computing technology.
The XREAL Air 2 Ultra AR glasses are not standalone devices; they require tethering to a Samsung Galaxy S22 or S23 for full AR functionality, or they can connect to other devices like iPhones and PCs for various other uses. The glasses feature six degrees of freedom (6DoF) tracking, dual 3D environment sensors for hand and head tracking, and a 52-degree field of view (FOV). They offer a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals and are designed for comfort with a lightweight 80-gram frame.
XREAL has a history of innovation in the AR market, having shipped approximately 350,000 pairs of AR glasses since 2017. This new product builds on their success and aims to compete with high-end devices like Apple’s Vision Pro and Meta’s Quest 3.
The Air 2 Ultra is designed for various applications, from gaming and entertainment to professional use. It supports a wide range of devices through its USB-C DisplayPort Alt mode, making it versatile for different user needs. Additionally, XREAL is working on a custom computing unit for those without compatible phones, ensuring broader accessibility.
At CES 2024, XREAL showcased their partnerships with industry leaders like Qualcomm, BMW, and Nio, highlighting how their technology is being integrated into various sectors. These collaborations aim to enhance driving experiences with AR, provide in-car entertainment, and develop immersive applications leveraging AR, AI, and 5G technologies.
