The Xreal One is a consumer augmented reality smart glasses developed by Xreal, announced and released in December 2024 at $499. The Xreal One is the world's first cinematic AR glasses with a dedicated spatial computing chip—the proprietary Xreal X1—built directly into the glasses, enabling native 3DoF spatial computing without external adapters or software. Featuring a 0.68-inch Sony Micro-OLED display with 5000 nits peak brightness, 147-inch virtual screen equivalent, ultra-low 3ms motion-to-photon latency, and audio tuned by Bose engineers, the Xreal One represents the company's biggest advancement in consumer AR technology.
History and Development
Xreal unveiled the One Series in December 2024, positioning it as the biggest leap forward for the consumer AR industry. The X1 chip represents over three years of in-house research and development, becoming the first customized silicon designed specifically for optical see-through (OST) AR glasses. The Xreal One launched alongside the higher-end Xreal One Pro with wider FOV.[1]
