Description:
Xreal announces a much-needed upgrade for its AR smart glasses, and gives us new specs too.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Xreal launches One Pro AR smart glasses at CES 2025 It also announced a camera module for its One and One Pro glasses The glasses are launching in March for $599 / 549

Im a big fan of Xreals AR smart glasses thats why they feature on TechRadars picks of the best smart glasses overall thanks to their ability to give you
a wearable home cinema experience using just the specs and a compatible USB-C device. And now that experience is about to get even better thanks to two new innovations the company has showcased at CES 2025 .

The first is new AR glasses in the form of the Xreal One Pro. A follow-up to the Xreal One, these smart glasses pack a 57-degree field-of-view, 700 nits
of brightness, Bose sound, adjustable interpupillary distance, a vibrant Full-HD picture, and Xreals own X1 spatial computing chip. All in a package that weighs just 87g

They're impressive-looking glasses based on my hands-on experience with them so far so impressive that weve awarded them a best of CES 2025 award and were excited to test them out further ahead of their March launch. The Xreal One Pro are up for preorder now at $599 / 549. Let there be sight I also

Even more impressive than the glasses themselves, however, is the new 12MP camera module that Xreal is launching for both the Xreal One and new One Pro: the Xreal Eye.

This optional attachment gives Xreals specs vision capabilities that right
now allow for first-person photo and video capture. Later this year though, the camera will also offer image-based multimodal AI capabilities which should be similar to the AI features weve seen in the popular Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses , including its 'Look and ask' feature.

The Xreal Eye is up for preorder at $99 / 99, and it looks like a solid
update to Xreals existing specs, and offers a future-forward modular approach which is something Ive been a fan of in XR for a while, as it gives users the freedom to construct the headset or glasses that best suits their needs and wants.

Well have to wait and see how the Eye perform in our full-review when they're released, as while I was able to wear specs with the camera module attached,
I wasnt able to snap a picture with them or see the AI in action during my hands-on time.
