Xreal's Project Aura is now officially called Xreal Aura! After I went hands-on with them, questions came flooding in, and I'm here to answer them all. While my initial hands-on time was brief, I headed back to see the team, to try them out some more and get more answers from Xreal.Because let's be real — these are the next step towards AR glasses and VR headsets merging, so while I (and many other publications) have told you how they feel to use, there's plenty of curiosity around some specifics.And now we're getting some more news on them at AWE 2026, there are a few more things I can share!What's the resolution?
(Image credit: Future)When I asked Xreal, no details were shared on this. However, that doesn't stop me from comparing fidelity to the Asus ROG Xreal R1 (1080p resolution), which I've just finished reviewing!And in short, these definitely seem sharper than 1080p. Not full-blown 4K, but...maybe QHD? This is based on my pixel peeping, so there's probably some software sharpening going on in the background. But to my eyes, there's definitely a step-up in detail here — especially when you get close to floating app windows.

This does feel like the starting point for bridging the gap between VR headsets and AR glasses, but it comes with some edge blurring.That being said, in a field of view this wide, the edge blurring is isolated to your peripheral vision. You won't really notice it in use.Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.What are the specs of these...specs?
