Xreal unveils Aura, its lightweight smart glasses powered by Android XR
Lightweight augmented reality glasses maker Xreal Inc. officially unveiled its Aura smart glasses today, powered by Android XR and built with Qualcomm Inc.’s Snapdragon.
Formerly known as Project Aura, these new smart glasses will launch this Fall, combining lightweight, see-through wired extended reality capability and deep integration with Google LLC’s Gemini artificial intelligence.
“The new era of portable spatial computing glasses starts now, as Xreal Aura combines rich and cinematic visuals, powerful platforms and advanced on-device AI capabilities required to realize immersive next-generation XR,” said co-founder and Chief Executive Chi Xu.
Aura runs on Google’s Android XR operating system, software designed for wearable devices that uses AI to fetch information and display it within users’ field of view as part of a visual overlay. This can include weather updates, turn-by-turn navigation instructions, map information and other visuals.
