- Xreal is working on Android XR glasses
- The Aura Aura project (the same name of Google was rumored that Glass 2 apparently had)
- Glasses are a collaboration between Xreal, Google and Qualcomm
The Android XR collaboration of Google and Samsung has been an important focus, but in Google I/or 2025 a new partner (but familiar) was learned to show the second official Android XR device: XREAL with Project Aura.
Xreal and its Xreal One glasses currently lead our list for the best smart glasses thanks to its impressive audio and visual quality.
However, while including ar elements: they make your device connected (a telephone, laptop or console, among other options) float in front of you as if you were in a private movie theater, which is fantastic by the way: they are not yet as versatile as other proposals for smart glasses that Google, Meta, Snap and others promise us.
Xreal Project Aura, a couple of XR glasses officially called as an XR XR (OST) XR device, should change the range of Xreal towards that of its rivals thanks to its advanced Qualcomm chipset, the experience of the Xreal visual system and the Google Android XR software. Whose combination should (hopefully) form a more fully fully done space computing device than we have seen in Xreal before.
So exciting that this announcement is, I will explain more next at one time, we should keep our emotions under control until the details about Project Aura are revealed in the World Expo (AWE) increased in June, and in other ads that will be made “at the end of this year” (according to Xreal).
Simply because beyond its existence and its general design we know very little about aura.
We can see that they have incorporated cameras, Qualcomm processors have been promised, and seems to use the same double -eye screen technology exhibited by the other Xreal glasses. In addition, it will be tied instead of completely wireless, although Android XR skills that Google has shown should still offer.
But important questions such as their cost and launch date have not yet been detailed.
I hope it offers us a more profitable entry point for this new era of XR glasses, but we will have to wait and see before knowing if this is “an innovative moment for the real world XR” like Chi Xu, co -founder and CEO of Xreal Promises.
Even so, even before knowing their specifications and other key factors, I am tilting to agree with the CEO of Xreal.
So why this revelation Xreal Android XR is potentially so important in my eyes?
Because while finishing has promised that its horizon will appear in non -goal headphones, of Asus, Lenovo and Xbox, from that announcement we have not seen anything from these other headphones in more than a year. That is, beyond a whisper in the winds (read: a small leak) on the A Asus Tarius project.
Android XR, on the other hand, before launch, not only confirmed collaborations between Google and other companies (Xreal and Samsung), but has shown those devices in action.
They are not just promises, they are real.
Now, the key decisive factor will be if Android XR can demonstrate its value as an operating system that rivals the Horizon operating system in terms of amplitude and quality of its XR applications. With Google, Samsung, Xreal and more behind him, I feel sure he will.
If it is up to my expectations, Android XR could seriously shake the XR Meta domain thanks to the varied XR hardware options under its out -of -door umbrella, which should lead to competition that results in better devices and prices for US consumers as a final result.
We will have to continue seeing how Android XR develops, but it seems that Google has had a very strong start. For the first time in a time, goal could finally be on the back foot in the XR space, and the ball is on its court to respond.
