XREAL has announced the XREAL One Series, featuring X1 independent spatial computing chips to take spatial display technology to the next level.
After introducing consumers to AR with the XREAL Air series, XREAL has announced the XREAL One Series, advancing augmented reality with the in-house X1 independent spatial computing chip. With the new chip, the glasses can create a spatial display from nearly any device, allowing users to fully customize a cinematic virtual screen as it connects to any device with video over USB-C. The series supports unlimited applications and enables an AR holographic experience for developers using the XREAL SDK.
The versions that will be available as part of the series are the XREAL One and XREAL One Pro, the first cinematic AR glasses to deliver next-generation 3DoF spatial computing using the integrated spatial co-processing chip that is built directly into the glasses. The X1 chips will allow the XREAL One Series to feature improved support for many of the interpupillary distance (IPD) ranges, multiple TÜV Rheinland eye health certification, Sound by Bose for audio, and an optical modular multimodal AI camera which is also the first for the cinematic AR glasses category.
As the users connect the XREAL One Series to their iPhone, Android devices, Steam Deck, and many more with a video-out over USB-C, they can experience a stable virtual screen and anchor it anywhere they choose in a three-dimensional space with a simple press of a button on the glasses. The XREAL One Series spatial display is larger, more stable, more customizable, and has a faster refresh rate than many AR glasses available today. Not to mention, the glasses feature a low latency 3DoF spatial screen and deliver low motion-to-photon (M2P) latency with 3ms at 120Hz.
The customization options included with the XREAL One Series are:
- Screen Size
- Screen Distance
- Stabilizer
- Side view
- Brightness enhancement
- Display optimization
- Colour temperature
- 2D/3D switching
- IPD adjustment
- Volume and Sound settings
- Button mapping settings
- Sensor calibration
- Language settings
- Factory reset
- Ultra Wide Mode viewing (32:9 aspect ratio)
The XREAL One Series offers 1080p Full HD resolution for each eye from any angle, with a 50-degree field of view. It employs a triangular birdbath lens design, achieving a 20.7 per cent larger display area than the XREAL Air 2 Series. For comfort, it offers a horizontal IPD option. The XREAL One Pro comes in two sizes for different IPD ranges—57-66 mm and 66-77 mm—while the XREAL One includes a software-based adjustable IPD. The series also offers a fast refresh rate of 120 Hz and brightness peaking at 600-700 nits, ensuring crisp and vibrant images regardless of lighting conditions.
Focusing on audio, the XREAL One and XREAL One Pro utilize Sound by Bose, fine-tuned specifically for the XREAL One series to provide an enhanced listening experience compared to similar devices. With Bose fine-tuning the audio performance, the XREAL One Series aims to provide ideal audio quality, with detailed mid-to-high frequencies, while maintaining a more natural soundscape.
Another feature is the XREAL Eye Camera for the XREAL One Series, a detachable accessory capable of capturing 12 MP high-definition photos and 1080p video recording at 60 fps. The XREAL Eye can be activated with a simple touch of a button on the temple of the glasses. Positioned below the bridge of the nose and between the zero-pressure nose pad, it is easily removable for later use. A future update will add multimodal AI capabilities, featuring image recognition and communication via voice command, along with an AI or voice assistant integrated from the host device.
Not to mention, if the users pair the XREAL One Series glasses with the XREAL Eye Camera and XREAL Beam Pro mobile device together, they can combine first-person view photos and videos with an augmented reality holographic display overlaid on the real world, allowing the wearers to show anyone what they are seeing through their XREAL glasses through the external photos and videos.
The XREAL One is available for pre-order now for $499 USD, £449 GBP, and €549 Euro from XREAL.com and their Amazon store, expected to begin shipping to customers in mid-December. For those interested in the XREAL One Pro, it is available for pre-order for $599, £549 GBP, and €649 Euro through the XREAL website, expected to ship in early 2025. Alongside the XREAL One Series, there will be a bundle with XREAL One or XREAL One Pro with the XREAL Beam Pro, and those interested can visit the website for more information.
Lastly, the new lineup will be available globally in the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Czech, Netherlands, China, Japan, and Korea. In terms of where you can get the XREAL One Series from each country, they will be coming to the XREAL retail partner stores, including Micro Center stores in the US, Selfridges stores in London, Paris, Rome, and Berlin, and retail partners in Korea, Japan, and China.
