The XREAL One Pro utilizes advanced flat prism display technology, departing from the traditional "[[bird bath optics|bird bath]]" displays. This custom flat-prism waveguide is 11 mm thick and increases the diagonal [[field of view]] to 57°, a notable improvement from the 50° on the standard XREAL One, while reducing enclosure volume by 40%.<ref name="KGuttag"/><ref name="PressRelease"/>
