First Wired XR Glasses Powered By Android XR

XREAL has introduced the AURA, its first wired augmented reality glasses, running on Google's Android XR platform. These glasses feature transparent Micro-OLED displays, a wide 70-degree field of view, Gemini AI integration, and a Snapdragon Reality Elite processor. The AURA's core concept is to provide users with portable access to their apps, entertainment, and an AI assistant. Users can access millions of familiar mobile apps and games from Google Play, along with XR-specific experiences. Android XR facilitates natural hand and voice inputs, while Gemini enhances user experiences by integrating with visual and interactive elements.A significant feature is Wired Mirroring, allowing users to connect computers or gaming consoles via USB-C for a large, private spatial display. This enables a multi-monitor setup for laptops or immersive gaming from handheld devices within a spatial workspace. The AURA aims to make spatial computing practical and portable for various scenarios. For professional use, it creates a multi-window workspace, combining Android XR apps with mirrored laptop content and Gemini's assistance. For entertainment, the AURA transforms into a private theater, offering access to streaming apps and an expansive virtual display with adjustable dimming. Gamers can enjoy Android games and mirrored console content on a large, immersive private screen. The AURA is now available for order, with shipping expected in mid-November.
