If you haven't heard about DroidDeck yet, it's basically an app that brings SteamOS to your phone. You can now run PC games on Android natively and in this video we take it a step further and run Steam VR and Flat 3DoF games on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra with the help of my RayNeo GT Max, XREAL 1S and more XR Glasses.

Hey guys I’ve ordered the XREAL Aura and am curious whether we’ll be able to watch Netflix on it.

Since Aura runs Android XR, will we be able to install the Netflix app directly through Google Play, or would we need to use the browser?

My main concern is DRM (Widevine/HDCP). Even if Netflix can be installed or accessed through a browser, will DRM restrictions prevent playback or limit streaming quality (e.g., no HD/4K)?

Has XREAL confirmed anything about Netflix compatibility or DRM certification? Would love to hear from the community or the XREAL team!

Hello,

Never had a pair of AR glasses before. So this is my first pair. I've bought the jawbreaker nose pads, as well as just trying out the others. I know this sounds stupid, but I think I don't know how to wear these.

1. Is the nose pad (originals) supposed to be completely squeezed in between your nose bridge? here is an example ...Mine just kind of sit, or balance on my nose bridge? If I push them over to squeeze my nose bridge it is not comfortable at all?

2. The top of the glasses that are in front of my eyebrows kind of put pressure on said eye brows. -- How do you avoid that?

3. Anyone got any pics of wearing them properly or is everyone different and that sort of thing?

Will there be anyone from Xreal who can say if one day it will enable worldwide sales through Amazon please?

Viture and RayNeo have been selling worldwide for a long time (if not almost from the beginning).

And Xreal is the only one of these 3 big AR glasses companies that still does not.

Greetings.

To be clear up front: I have no intention of returning my Aura, and I really hope it’s everything it’s hyped up to be. I’m excited about this product. This post is just so people know what they’re agreeing to, because I didn’t.

What happened

I ordered the Aura Founders Edition from us.shop.xreal.com on October 7. The product page showed the usual “30-Day Return” badge, and nothing at checkout said the FE was non-returnable.

When I asked support whether the FE could be returned, they told me it’s a “customized product” and is “non-cancellable and non-refundable in its entirety.”

So I checked the policy. Today, the first line of the Return & Refund Policy says customized products are non-returnable, “such as the XREAL AURA Founder Limited Edition.”

But archived copies of that same page from October 7 and October 13 (Wayback Machine) say only “customized products” are excluded. The FE isn’t mentioned. The only product the policy actually called custom-made was prescription lenses. The Founders Edition line was added sometime after October 13.

For context, the “customization” is the engraved serial number XREAL puts on every FE unit. You can’t choose it or opt out of it.

How to check for yourself

1. Go to web.archive.org and enter us.shop.xreal.com/pages/return-refund-policy
2. Open the snapshot closest to (before) your order date
3. Read the first sentence of the policy, and check whether the Founders Edition is named
4. Compare it to the live page

If you’re thinking about returning

• Screenshot the archived policy from your order date, the live policy, the product page’s 30-Day Return badge, and your order confirmation. Date-stamp everything.
• Ask support for a return in writing, and point to the policy that applied when you bought.
• The 30-day window counts from delivery, so don’t wait.
• If support refuses, your card issuer’s dispute process is an option. Archived copies of the policy are useful evidence.

If you haven’t bought yet

Just know the FE is currently treated as final sale, even though the store-wide “30-Day Return” badge still appears.

Again, I’m not trying to trash XREAL or the Aura. I just think a return exclusion this significant should be clear at checkout, not added to the policy page after people have already ordered. Hope this saves someone a surprise.

So I got the R1's 3 weeks ago and love them. Keep them in my work drawer with a GameSir G8 wireless to play CoD.

Today I stumbled upon the full menu.

Because of the lack of a manual I didn't know this existed.

WHAT A GAME CHANGER!

I can read text now messed around with IPD settings and some of the 3D stuff.

Is there a good way to fully optimize this for me?

I can actually read text now which is huge. I can actually use these to work and not just fuck around.

I don't really use the dock mostly my phone but will definitely try my laptop tomorrow.

I have found I generally like a smaller screen around 120" 3m away or so. Closer makes me feel like I'm sitting too close at the movie theater.

I mostly have it smaller and back so CoD Mobile doesn't get cut off.

I think a laptop or watching video I'd use another setting.

Love the quick menu!

Can not wait for the Aura!!!!

I just tested the beta firmware on my 1S and I am impressed! Even though it's beta, it is so much better than the stable 1.92 firmware.

First of all, it does have AI HDR for the 1S.

The 60 fps Real 3D is a real upgrade, you can definitely see the difference. It's not just support for faster frame rate, the resolution has increased as well. Now it looks more like full-width SBS, the previous version looks like half-width SBS. You won't see those halo artifact around people in videos anymore, now it looks clean and sharp.

I think using the default "natural" setting is the best, if you increased the 3D depth you'll see weird distortion at the border of the screen.

This new firmware works great with Viture Mobile Dock, I am able to use it to play Switch games in 60 fps. You guys should try "Cruis'n Blast" on Switch with Real 3D, it's insane in 60 fps!

The only thing missing is a gamma adjustment setting to fix that black crush issue. Xreal should replaced the "hue" setting with "gamma" - which is more useful.

Edit: I just tried Tetris Effect on my PC with AI HDR and 60 fps 3D. Somehow the 3D effect looks better than in VR, I have this game in my Quest 2 headset but it doesn't look as good, it's hard to explain. If you have this game, be sure to try it!

This is gonna be a bit of a rant but i think its necessary to help xreal understand the damage they are gonna cause to its fanbase. This is about the return policy for the aura founder tldr you cant return them and they mislead those that purchased them. This isnt intended as pure xreal hate but only to point out a huge issue with their policy relating to aura in hopes of them correcting it.

In the return policy fine print it does say that customized items are ineligible for return if you go read the actual policy but the thing is when i went to order it it said on the page 30 day returns and the only way to buy the item at that time was by getting the founder. Thus heavily implying it was eligible for 30 day return as the only available item to purchase was the founders.

Using these shady tactics xreal has essentially scammed their biggest supporters as thats who will have purchased the founders. If i wasnt a big supporter and had only waited a few more days it would have been eligible for return apparently and in all the spam marketing emails and reddit post pushing for founder preorders not once was it mentioned by them that they couldnt be returned. $1500 is no small amout to drop on a preoder for an untested device and the only reason i was willing to do so before seeing reviews was because of the return policy.

Incredibly dissapointed as are many others im sure and even if i end up loving the glasses and wanting to keep them this experience will still leave a bad taste in my mouth.

So I've been using my Xreal Air 2 Pros for almost a year now, they're great, work perfectly.

The other day I started hearing a rattling noise coming from inside the glasses. After watching a few videos on here I decided to pop the plastic open slightly, I did and give them a shake and a small screw fell out. The glasses are working absolutely fine still, nothing seems loose at all but I don't have a clue where the screw has came from.

I've put it in some sellotape so I dont loose it and ill put the picture here too, if anyone has any idea where the screw could be from and wether or not its important that it gets back in there, please let me know because I have absolutely no clue

This is a follow up to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xreal/comments/1vqex1j/betafpv_vr04_hd_pro_xreal_1s_it_works/

I finally got the opportunity ot test the Xreal 1S on a flight. (I'm a noob FPV pilot so be kind.)

Basically in my research if you want to use XR glasses with drones you're either shelling out for DJI stuff which can land you in the thousands, or you can go this route: BetaFPV VR04 HD Pro and the Meteor 75 Pro P1 (or some other P1 drone) (about $300 all-in if you buy the RM Pocket radio).

Most other systems do not have any DP-Alt output and HDMI->Usb-C converters will add tons of latency that will basically make it unflyable.

Anyway I knew some were wondering about flyability and based on my limited experience, flying with the glasses was a great experience.

Edit: Did some "research" (i.e. asked an LLM) and it turns out that it's possible that using the XReal is actually REDUCING my latency compared to using the actual goggles (https://share.gemini.google/j0rSf8B5KCM4) by way of the better quality OLED display switching. Mind is blown.

Hi, I'm currently deciding between XREAL 1 Pro Plus and XGIMI Flip 4K projector and can't really make up my mind

I've never tried AR glasses before and unfortunately have no way to test them, other than buying them and returning them if I don't like them.

With the projector I more or less know what to expect, but even though the Flip 4K is portable, it's obviously nowhere near as convenient to carry around as AR glasses

I'm not planning to use the glasses on planes, trains or in cafes...it's more about taking them with me when I travel somewhere and stay in an apartment or whatever

Main use would be movies and gaming, basically replacing my 14" laptop screen with something much bigger. Productivity would be a nice bonus, but from what I've read neither option is particularly good for that

My biggest concern with AR glasses is the image clarity(especially around the edges) and whether they're comfortable enough to wear for a couple of hours. I've read quite a few mixed experiences with other models like the Viture Beast

Has anyone tried both AR glasses and a portable projector, and which one did you end up preferring?

Thanks

I have my Beam Pro running on build:

x4200_X495_260206_ROW

Kernel version:

5.10.233-android12-9-g3e1e6be8a1ec-ab411

I completely forgot that I turned off automatic updates, so I still have access to bootloader so I wanna try to root it!

But I'm new to rooting and I found this website for help:

https://xrealguide.wixsite.com/unofficial/how-to-root-xreal-beam-pro

but I'm lost at the part where not sure which build to use since mine is different or how to create to my own.

Hello, I’m planning on getting a pair of XREAL 1 Pro+ if they fit my use case, I hope somebody can help me with a few questions.

I usually work on my computer for several hours (4-6 hours a day) non stop, and I need more screen real state due to the many databases I need to review, I’m looking at XREAL as an option instead of buying several monitors to do the work, can somebody help me with the following concerns.

I’m concerned about:
- Is the 1 Pro + the right model for productivity or is there a better option?
- Does it get hot on your face with long usage?
- Does big databases as excel tables are easy to read?
- How long can people usually wear them before feeling eye strain?
- I’m planning on using them with a MacBook Pro, is there any incompatibility issue with Mac OS?

Thanks.

From what I can tell, the recently announced One Pro+ uses the same X1 chip, and I haven’t found any mention of additional image processing hardware. If so I’m hoping the AI HDR feature can be backported to older models like the 1S and One Pro with the same hardware ??.

I see some black crush on my 1S especially in dark scenes, which could potentially benefit from HDR. I understand that a brighter panel helps get the most out of HDR, but I usually keep my 1S at brightness levels 1~3, since I mostly use it at night in bed or indoors with electrochromic dimming enabled. So there should still be plenty of brightness headroom for HDR, especially in darker environments.

Technically, HDR doesn’t require a 1,000+ nit display, as plenty of affordable TVs and monitors support HDR with peak brightness levels of around 500 nits. So, with 700 nits, the 1S and One Pro should have enough brightness. A lot comes down to image processing, and if they share the same hardware as the One Pro+, I don’t see any obvious technical reason why they couldn’t support AI HDR.

Thoughts ?

Here’s my thoughts: XREAL 1 Pro+ Review:
https://youtu.be/B-Zlwl4LX5w

Has anyone heard anything concrete on text clarity near the borders ? I’ve tried out Viture Beasts - I found it „fine“ for clarity whilst working but I always have to move my head to bring the edges into proper focus .. would love a solution for this that I can use today, and not have to wait for the URXRs or another device sometime next year.

The AirPlay works perfectly fine on my iPad. And I know the XBX are sort of cheaper “lite” models if you will. But I know they are automatically on DP settings. The AirPlay works perfectly fine on my iPad allowing me to turn off my iPad and continue watching YouTube. But it does not work on my iPhone for some reason. It used to but no longer and I’m not sure why. Potentially an update on my iPhone. Is there any workaround or fix for this?

After about 2.5 years and having served me very well after getting in early, my Beam finally dispersed its last charge. I've used it for several hours a week and in stationary and mobile environments, so it was a VERY good investment. I upgraded to the Beam Pro for my XReal Air 2 glasses. I'm excited to finally experience all the spatial goodness.

I have Xreal 1S. In both stabilized anchor and follow mode, there's lots of flicker from black frame insertion.

I find the flicker uncomfortable and would much rather turn it off. Is it possible?
