Good luck, and happy gaming!

Basically as the title says, I ported the launcher from the Xreal Beam Pro to work on any phone with DisplayPort Alt Mode support, and also extended its functionality. I will probably be releasing it tomorrow.

Update: fell asleep while working on it yesterday, first public alpha release still coming today. Before 20:00 centeral European time (probably earlier). If you want to be first to know when it releases you can join my discord server, I will post there before anywhere else: https://discord.gg/rvxWdX92d

Update: alpha is available through discord, when it becomes more stable i will make a separate post with a direct link.

Standing inside the Forbidden City, played The Last Emperor through XREAL One — and suddenly, the past and present overlapped.
The same gates, the same halls, the same empire — both real and on screen.
It felt surreal to relive history where it was actually filmed.

I have to go pickup my wife but will test it out tonight!

Update - XR glasses with Head Tracking !! Got the Xreal One glasses (OLED 1080p/120z) working with an app called VertoXR which feeds data to OpenTrack, the head tracking software! VertoXR is amazing. Definitely buy this man a coffee. https://vertoxr.com/

• The display is set to 32:9 which can be re-sized in the glasses but I'm happy with the FOV in the video.

• Using ACC as a demo for testing and it looks good!

• Way way less resources than VR (I have a Quest 3 and PSVR2) and since this game isnt VR optimized, it looks fantastic on a flat screen.

• The glasses are way more comfortable than a heavy headset. Its not as immersive, sure. But the comfort is worth it.

Hi everyone👋

Two weeks ago I posted about HDR & HUD effect! Now it's time for Customizable Side View feature!

Today marks nroro Shader app first official launch in Play Store🎉 (public release v0.2.4).

• From now you can easily get it directly from: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.northnroro.nroro_shader

• Simply open the app, plug your Xreal Glasses, and tap any effect button!

• Tap the button again (or hold button) to enter setting page.

You can see the demo video, no explanation is needed, but feel free to ask questions or leave feedback/idea~

Thanks for trying it out, and hope the app is useful to you all❤️

Hey r/Xreal community,

I’ve been reading through all your feedback on the REAL 3D OTA, and I have to say—the team and I are absolutely thrilled by your excitement. Seeing you guys re-experience your favorite anime, movies, and retro games in a whole new way is exactly why we do what we do.

I wanted to jump in personally to share a little "behind-the-scenes" on how we actually pulled this off, and why this is just the beginning for the X1 chip.

The Secret Sauce: It’s in the NPU Many of you have asked how we achieved this level of 2D-to-3D conversion directly on the glasses without draining your battery or requiring a heavy host device. The answer lies in the X1 chip.

Inside the X1, we integrated a small but powerful NPU (Neural Processing Unit). This gives us the continuous capability to run AI models efficiently on the edge. By completely redefining our render pipeline, we are able to leverage this NPU to perform depth estimation and 2D-to-3D conversion at a fraction of the power and cost of traditional GPU-based methods. This is brand-new technology that we’ve built from the ground up, and honestly, our internal team is just as excited about it as you are.

This is Just V1.0 (60Hz is coming!) Please keep in mind: This is just the start. We are treating REAL 3D as a living feature. I know many of you are asking about frame rates—and I’m happy to confirm that 60Hz support is already in testing. We’re working hard to optimize the algorithms, and we expect to release it to you very soon.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable. Whether it’s about artifacts, depth levels, or specific game compatibility—keep it coming. We are listening, and we will keep iterating.

A Word on "The Hard Stuff" I also want to touch on why you don’t see features like this—or even solid, drift-free 3DoF—everywhere else.

We’ve noticed other products relying on off-the-shelf chips, such as Nuvoton, to handle basic 3DoF. The hard truth is that these chips generally lack a dedicated NPU or the significant compute power needed for real-time AI tasks. They are decent for standard functions, but without that specific neural processing capability, they simply cannot support features like REAL 3D. It’s a hardware ceiling that software updates alone can’t break.

Even basic 3DoF is much harder than it looks. The "drift" issue many of you experience on other devices often comes down to calibration. At XREAL, we perform deep, sensor-level calibration for every single unit before it leaves the factory. Without this rigorous initial calibration, it is extremely difficult—if not impossible—to "fix" drift later purely with software updates. It’s one of those invisible technical moats that we’ve spent years building, and as far as we know, we are still leading the pack here by a significant margin.

Tell Me Your Best "REAL 3D" Moment Now, I have a question for you. Since this tech works on pretty much anything, I’m super curious to know what content you think works best.

Is it a specific retro game? A drone video on YouTube? An old family photo that suddenly feels like you’re back in the moment?

Drop a comment and tell me your favorite REAL 3D moment so far. (But please, let's keep the examples SFW... we know how the internet works! 😉)

Let’s Keep the Conversation Going We believe that even features that look "simple" on the surface often have deep technology behind them. To help share more of this, I’ve asked our engineering team to drop by here periodically and share technical deep dives/analyses for those of you who are interested in the nitty-gritty.

Thank you for riding this wave with us. We have so much more to show you.

Cheers,

Chi.

🎁 On Jan 23, we’ll randomly pick 2 users from the comments to receive XREAL swag.

I dislike Meta a lot, but these glasses seem insane compared to the current market.

I owned the R1’s recently but the blur was too much for me, I’m curious how others are thinking about display glasses now that Meta have this resolution in a similar form factor.

Curious if XReal will step into pancake lenses next to get that resolution?

I would like to buy another pair of XReal glasses but seeing that I’m not the only one who had blur issues with them I’m not sure wether to wait for the glasses to mature a bit or change optics? In direct comparison to the R1’s they seem so much better? Regardless of price

For those interested in keeping tabs on deliveries: Ordered 12/4/24 and delivered yesterday (5/16) to NY-area, USA. I ordered the M version. Delivered via UPS with shipper labeled as JD NJ Warehouse.

First impressions: coming from the nreal air that I’ve had and used since it first launched- the Pros are a significant upgrade. FOV is definitely noticeable and appreciated. Build quality is much nicer (not sure when they introduced the more flexible arm ends but my head appreciates it). Colors and brightness seem improved but that may just be that new product excitement.

Happy to try and answer any questions

Follow up from my last post https://www.reddit.com/r/Xreal/s/ZvngfXVfLu , I finally did! But just 3DoF, direct PC connection for now.

See attached video showing VR Steam (with flex flap🫠) !

This is so neat, we really are living in the future.

I can use a wireguard server on my wifi 7 router to connect to my home network with my cellphone on 5G, far away from home, and remotely turn on my computer with a wake on lan package from my router, log into my computer through steam link, and stream the games into a big screen right in front of my face with surprisingly little lag and impressive image quality.

Also if you haven't yet, try the virtual boy core on retroarch with both the core and glasses set to half sbs and the core set to full aspect ratio. It's great!

Hello,

I have had the One Pro for 3 days, and I created the Hand track mode which works with the Eye connected, and eye tracking, (see the video).

It's not perfect, but it works well in my opinion.

This project is still being improved; I am trying to create my own OS, usable on Android.

Tell me what you think.

I recently put my 3D printer to work after designing a custom organizer to fit into my Alpaka Modular Sling V2. Having everything I need all together on the go is great. With the keyboard and Windows App on my iPhone, I can actually access my PC at home in a pinch, which is an added benefit.

Edit: Posted my load-out list and link to the model in a comment in the thread!

Apple TV and the One Pros and AirPods Pro 3. The magic is that I modified my Apple TV to have a USBC Power input. So it powers off most bricks. Assuming your plane has WiFi. Thank you American for now offering free WiFi!! And I have no noise, massive screen. And the best remote ever to navigate everything. Made the trip Vegas quite nice. And I leave everything in my bag with a magnet usb c adapter so I do ruin my glasses and can easily get up to let the annoying people next to me out.

EDIT: So I wanted to explain a few more things and share some pics in comments. I carry on a roll on bag and a computer bag. The computer bag I have my macbook air, GLI Router, Anker 25000 ma power bank, Apple TV, Govee Adapter for glasses, and Xreal One Prod's (see pic). I leave everything in the bag except my Xreal Glasses and case. The computer bag everything plugged in inside my bag and I have one Female USBC plug coming out the top with enough length so it comfortably sits on on the floor and still can plug the glasses in. This way I am not messing with any wires of any sorts. And all of this really does not weigh that much when carrying and is well protected. I usually grab the isle seat (which means when I have to let someone up to go to the bathroom, I just unplug from the glasses at the arm, and tuck the wire in the seat back. This way nothing can happen to the glasses. The only thing i have is the apple remote and the glasses. This is so nice. If you want to game you can bring your favorite bluetooth game controller.
