Xreal has introduced a new sub-brand called X by Xreal, designed to offer more affordable and stylish augmented reality products. The first device under this banner is the xbx a01+, a pair of AR video glasses that weigh just 62 grams. This makes them significantly lighter than previous models like the Xreal Air 2 and Xreal 1S, aiming for greater comfort during extended wear.
Affordable wearable device weighs just 62 grams with HDR display
The xbx a01+ features integrated HDR displays capable of reaching 1,600 nits of brightness, ensuring visibility even in bright outdoor conditions. The glasses offer a field of view of 50 degrees, which the company markets as equivalent to watching a 147-inch television from four meters away. Unlike standalone smart glasses, these function primarily as video displays for smartphones and laptops.
Specifications
- Weight: 62 grams
- Display brightness: 1,600 nits
- Field of view: 50 degrees
Users can customize the front cover of the xbx a01+ using simple steps or even 3D printing to match their personal style. The temples house built-in speakers for audio output. The device is designed to be worn comfortably, with its lightweight construction reducing strain on the face and head during use.
The xbx a01+ will be available in the USA starting in July at a price of $299 USD. The $299 price point makes these glasses a budget-friendly choice in the expanding augmented reality headset sector. Xreal released the device in the United States this July without announcing availability for other regions at this time.
