XREAL unveiled a step change for its newest augmented reality (AR) glasses, XREAL One Series, that the company believes is the biggest leap forward for the consumer AR industry and advances its mission to bring AR to everyone. Using XREAL's brand new, in-house designed X1 independent spatial computing co-processor, XREAL One Series creates a spatial display from nearly any device and for anything the wearer sees, leaping beyond the limits of today's AR and VR devices by introducing a fully customizable cinematic virtual screen that is for the first time spatially controlled by the glasses themselves. XREAL One Series connects to nearly any compute device with video over USB-C, unlocking a spatial display for unlimited apps, games, web sites, productivity tools, communications platforms, and more, while also enabling AR holographic experiences from developers who build with XREAL's SDK.
XREAL One Series consists of XREAL One and XREAL One Pro, and are the first cinematic AR glasses, wearable displays, or smart glasses to deliver native next generation three degrees-of-freedom (3DoF) spatial computing using an integrated spatial co-processing chip built directly into the glasses, XReal said in a press release.
"The XREAL One Series represents the most advanced consumer AR glasses on the market today," said Chi Xu, CEO and Co-founder of XREAL. "I'm thrilled for everyone to experience the XREAL One Series and see the X1 chip in action. It's a true game-changer."
Spatial Computing Anywhere with X1
Any XREAL One Series wearer, no matter if they connect their XREAL One Series glasses to an iPhone, Android device, Steam Deck, Windows PC, MacBook, or just about any device with video-out over USB-C, can experience the most stable virtual screen and anchor it anywhere they choose in three-dimensional space with the simple press of a button on the glasses. These are AR glasses benefits previously held back by limited hardware and software configurations.

The on-glasses customization options include: screen size, screen distance, stabilizer, side view, brightness enhancement, display optimization, color temperature, 2D/3D switching, IPD adjustment, volume and sound settings, button mapping settings, sensor calibration, language settings, tutorial and factory reset. The XREAL One Series also features Ultra-Wide Mode viewing with a 32:9 aspect ratio, perfect for productivity and some gaming experiences.
Bigger Displays, Expanded IPDs, Eye Comfort, and Thinner Frames
XREAL One Pro achieves a big industry first by creating the first flat-prism lens design, a change from the traditional triangular birdbath design, and reaching an industry-leading 57-degree FOV. This is an 11mm thin plane that's 40.9% thinner than traditional birdbath optics and increases the FOV by 23.9% compared to the XREAL Air 2 Series and which produces a 63.6% larger display area than the XREAL Air 2 series.
The glasses' temples include a 4-microphone layout with exclusive near-field and far-field algorithms that capture clear recordings of both near and distant voices. This can enable audio recording for meeting summaries, transcriptions and translations, or empower other recording scenarios.
Advanced Audio Options with Sound by Bose
XREAL One and XREAL One Pro incorporate customized Sound by Bose, delivering audio that is meticulously fine-tuned for XREAL One Series and providing significantly enhanced listening experiences when compared to similar head worn or mobile devices.
XREAL Eye Camera
The XREAL One Series supports an optional and modular RGB camera called XREAL Eye, a first-of-its-kind detachable accessory that captures real-time 12MP high-definition photos and smooth HD video recording at up to 1080p at 60fps. XREAL Eye can be activated by the touch of a button on the temple of the glasses.
