These displays are higher resolution, with support for up to 1080p content at 120Hz.
Both wearables come in either grey or red colorways.
The star feature of the new Air 2’s are the displays.
The app is called Nebula, and enables more rich and immersive experiences.
The glasses are wired, and use USB-C for connectivity.
This means all the content you watch is placed on top of the environment around you.
The star feature of the new Air 2’s are the displays.
Now, there are no external cameras on these glasses, meaning there’s no hand tracking.
The electrochromic dimming capabilities on the Air 2 Pro’s really is great, and is very effective.
When watching a movie, the darkest mode is more than enough to remove any environmental distractions.
VR as the world knew it at the end of 2022, I think, is over.
I think VR is an isolated experience, disconnected from the world.
[VR headsets arent] really like everyday devices …
The new XREAL packaging.
I think in that sense the standalone VR goggles will remain more or less like gaming devices.
So the real thing is VST (visual see through), right?
Apple Vision Pro is VST, the Meta Quest 3 is VST.
The Air 2’s are great as a virtual desktop peripheral.
There are some key benefits associated with VST, they record everything and they digitise it.
So if they are trying to mix digital with reality, it’s a digital to digital meshing.
It’s much easier.

[The XREAL Air 2s] look like sunglasses, we dont make you look like an alien.
So I think the form factor is much more fun.
It’s harder to do it perfectly seamlessly.
I was also curious about how XREAL anticipates people will use the Air 2s.
The design philosophy, I think it’s fair to say we’re taking a safe approach.
I don’t want to take another bet on which form factor looks the best.
Im surprised at how small these are for what they can do.
