XREAL has officially launched the XREAL AURA, the first wired XR glasses powered by Android XR. Orders open today in the U.S., Canada, and Korea, and on November 2 in Japan. Weighing under 95 grams, these glasses feature transparent lenses and a 70-degree field of view, offering lightweight comfort. The processing power comes from a portable puck powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon Reality Elite platform.
Android XR brings the helpfulness of Gemini and over 150 XR-specific apps from Google Play to AURA. You can open multiple apps at once, arrange them at any size, and pair a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse for a desktop setup anywhere. With Wired Mirroring, plug in your laptop via USB-C to use its screen as a window alongside your Android XR apps, keeping confidential documents private in public.
For entertainment, AURA turns any seat into a private theater. Watch YouTube, Google TV, or immersive 3D content, including new films like "Nevatars" co-directed by Andy Serkis and "Galapagos: The Last Eden" narrated by Margot Robbie. Spatial view turns almost any video or photo into 3D, while window follow mode keeps your apps centered as you move.
