The '''XREAL One''' is a pair of [[augmented reality]] [[smart glasses]] developed by [[XREAL]], released in November 2024. It is the world's first cinematic AR glasses to feature a custom silicon chip—the [[XREAL X1]]—designed specifically for optical see-through AR glasses, enabling native 3 degrees-of-freedom (3DoF) spatial computing directly on the device.
The '''Xreal One''' is a display [[AR glasses]] device developed by [[Xreal]], released December 2024 at $499. The next generation Xreal glasses featuring proprietary X1 chip with native 3DoF, Sony 0.68" micro-OLED displays at 1080p per eye, 50° field of view (147" virtual screen), 120 Hz refresh rate, 3ms motion-to-photon latency, Sound by Bose audio, electrochromic dimming, and 84g lightweight design. One Pro model features 57° FOV with 171" screen.

== History and Development ==


The XREAL One represents a significant advancement over previous XREAL products like the [[Xreal Air 2]] and [[Xreal Air 2 Pro]]. The key innovation is the custom X1 chip, which took over three years of research and development to create. XREAL describes it as "the world's first customized silicon designed specifically for optical see-through (OST) AR glasses."<ref name="prnewswire">{{cite web |url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/introducing-xreal-one-series-worlds-first-cinematic-ar-glasses-with-x1-independent-spatial-computing-chip-for-complete-spatial-screen-control-302322181.html |title=Introducing XREAL One Series: World's First Cinematic AR Glasses with X1 Independent Spatial Computing Chip |publisher=PR Newswire |access-date=2025-01-07}}</ref>
Xreal announced the One series in November 2024, releasing December 2024. The first Xreal glasses with a proprietary spatial computing chip (X1), enabling native 3DoF tracking without external devices. Developed in partnership with Sony (micro-OLED displays) and Bose (audio tuning), the One series represents Xreal's most advanced consumer AR glasses with focus on low latency and native spatial awareness.<ref name="xreal">{{cite web |url=https://us.shop.xreal.com/products/xreal-one |title=Xreal One |publisher=Xreal |access-date=2025-01-07}}</ref>


The glasses were announced alongside the higher-end [[Xreal One Pro]] variant, which offers additional features including wider field of view and higher brightness.

Sony Micro-OLED:


=== X1 Spatial Computing Chip ===
* '''1080p per eye''' resolution
* '''Sony 0.68" micro-OLED''' (One)
* '''Sony 0.55" micro-OLED''' (Pro)
* '''500-700 nits''' brightness
* '''5000 nits''' peak brightness
* '''120 Hz''' refresh rate
* ΔE <3 color calibration


The XREAL X1 chip is the defining feature of the One series. It brings several key advantages:
=== Field of View ===


* '''On-device Processing:''' All spatial computing functions are handled on the glasses themselves, eliminating the need for companion software like the Nebula app for many features
* '''50° FOV''' (One)
* '''3ms Motion-to-Photon Latency:''' Industry-leading latency ensures head movements are completely lag-free
* '''57° FOV''' (Pro)
* '''Expanded Compatibility:''' Works with any device that has USB-C video output without requiring special software
* '''147" virtual screen''' (One)
* '''Future Expandability:''' The X1 chip enables future accessories like the [[XREAL Eye]] camera add-on<ref name="tomshardware">{{cite web |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/wearable-tech/xreal-one-review |title=Xreal One Review: X1 chip up Xreal's game in the AR glasses segment |publisher=Tom's Hardware |access-date=2025-01-07}}</ref>

The One features a unique sound chamber design with new acoustic components, professionally tuned by Bose engineers. The "Sound by Bose" audio system delivers clarity, balance, and detail for an immersive media experience.<ref name="tomsguide">{{cite web |url=https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/vr-ar/xreal-one-ar-glasses-review |title=Xreal One AR glasses review: These are the ones |publisher=Tom's Guide |access-date=2025-01-07}}</ref>
Bose collaboration:
 
* '''Sound by Bose'''
* Professional tuning
* Unique sound chamber
* Clarity and balance
* Directional audio


=== Ergonomics ===
=== Dimming ===


At 87 grams, the XREAL One is about 10% heavier than the [[Xreal Air 2]] (72 grams), but features a dramatically thinner frame profile that improves comfort during extended use. The electrochromic dimming eliminates the need for separate plastic light blockers that previous models required.
* '''3-mode electrochromic'''
* TÜV Rheinland certified
* 100% UV protection
* Adjustable transparency


=== Lens Transparency ===
=== Design ===


The One features 3 adjustable levels of lens transparency using electrochromic technology, allowing users to choose between:
* '''84g weight'''
* Full transparency for AR overlay on the real world
* Lightweight comfort
* Medium dimming for balanced visibility
* Adjustable nose pads
* Maximum dimming for immersive viewing in bright environments
* Ergonomic fit
