The AR Revolution Continues

Xreal, formerly known as Nreal, made waves at CES 2024 with the introduction of the Air 2 Ultra. Building on the success of its predecessor, the Nreal Light, these AR glasses promise a transformative experience by incorporating six degrees of freedom (6DoF) spatial tracking and hand tracking capabilities. The company aims to redefine spatial computing, allowing virtual objects to seamlessly integrate with the real world.

Unveiling the Technological Marvel

Weighing in at a mere 80 grams, the Air 2 Ultra features a wider 52-degree field of view (FOV) and a remarkable 42-pixel-per-degree sharpness within a sleek titanium package. Xreal boldly positions the $699 Air 2 Ultra as a compelling alternative to Apple’s $3,499 Vision Pro, emphasizing affordability without compromising on advanced features.

Power and Connectivity

Unlike standalone mixed reality headsets, the Air 2 Ultra relies on external computing units such as smartphones, computers, or Xreal’s Beam module through USB-C. This approach ensures flexibility and compatibility with a range of devices, including Samsung Galaxy S23 or S22, iPhone 15, and various Mac or Windows machines running Xreal’s Nebula launcher.

Immersive Experience and Enhanced Privacy

The Air 2 Ultra’s front layer boasts three electrochromic dimming levels for heightened immersion without the need for a physical shield. Additionally, directional audio technology enhances privacy, while dual microphones facilitate seamless voice interaction. The Sony micro OLED panels with 1080p resolution per eye, a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and brightness of up to 500 nits contribute to a captivating visual experience.

Targeting Developers and Consumers

While the $699 price tag places the Air 2 Ultra in a competitive position, Xreal acknowledges its primary focus on developers initially. The upcoming Unity-based NRSDK 2.2, set to launch alongside the shipping of these glasses in March, will empower developers with improved hand tracking, gesture recognition, spatial anchors, and depth mesh capabilities. Xreal recognizes the importance of building a robust mixed reality ecosystem before capturing widespread consumer attention.
