Xreal has launched its 62g augmented reality (AR) glasses, the 'xbx a01+', in South Korea. The company aims to lower the consumer entry barrier for AR glasses by focusing on features necessary for video viewing rather than high-spec spatial computing.
On August 4, Xreal announced that pre-orders for the xbx a01+ will be available on Coupang from the 5th to the 11th. Official sales will begin on the 14th through Naver Smart Store and Coupang brand shops.
The xbx a01+ is the first product from Xreal's newly launched sub-brand 'xbx,' designed for watching videos by projecting smartphone and laptop screens into a glasses-style display.
Weighing approximately 56g without the front frame and about 62g with it, the glasses are designed for extended video viewing and portability. They also feature an algorithm to reduce screen shake.
The display includes a 0.6-inch micro OLED panel with a resolution of 1920×1080, supporting a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and a viewing angle of about 50 degrees. The panel's maximum brightness is 6000 nits, with a perceived maximum brightness of 1600 nits.
The glasses do not include a separate battery. Instead, they connect to smartphones or laptops via a USB-C cable, which supplies both power and video signals. The connected devices must support USB-C DisplayPort output.
This wired design, which eliminates the battery, helps reduce the product's weight, but the actual usage range may vary depending on the connector specifications and power supply capabilities of the connected devices.
To reduce eye strain, the xbx a01+ has received certifications from the German testing and certification organization TÜV Rheinland, including the Eye Comfort 5-Star, Low Blue Light, and Flicker-Free certifications.
Products purchased during the pre-order period will be shipped starting on the 12th. Customers who bookmark the Xreal brand shop on Coupang during the pre-order period will receive a discount coupon of 20,000 won.
Xreal plans to expand its distribution channels by introducing the product to offline stores for customer experience and purchase opportunities later this month.
