Xreal has unveiled the Air 2 Ultra, a new pair of AR glasses that are aimed at developers and consumers, with pre-orders available for $699 and shipping expected to begin in March.
The Air 2 Ultra glasses are designed to compete with Apple's Vision Pro and Meta's Quest 3, offering full positional (six degrees of freedom, or 6DOF) tracking in a sunglasses-style form factor.
The glasses feature a pair of 3D environment sensors equipped with computer vision capabilities for accurate location tracking within a 3D space, hand tracking, 3D mesh creation, and semantic scene understanding.
The Air 2 Ultra offers a 52-degree field of view, full HD for each eye, a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and a peak brightness of 500 nits, surpassing the capabilities of Apple Vision Pro, according to Xreal.
The glasses also support Apple’s spatial video feature, allowing users to view the spatial videos captured on the iPhone 15 Pro on the Xreal Air 2 series glasses.
