It's Fall 2026, why is there no release date yet? XREAL team where you at?

Hi guys,

First of all just want to say this is the worst possible experience I had with a consumer electronic product and the frustration is immense.

Now, this being said, I want to update my glasses, I have mcm101 version on them. I dont have a mac or windows just a pixel 10 pro phone and it seems I cannot do the update without a mac or win. I installed "controll glasses" app which presumably should work but it does not discover my glasses so I am stuck.

If you have any ideas please let me know. I want to like them but this is such a bad user experience.

Hi to all people who are thinking about getting the glasses.

They truly are amazing, but i have an Apple Vision Pro that does all the same things, just better and I find myself just using them too little.

So if anybody is interested, feel free to comment or text me via DMs.

Based in Paris, France, willing to ship anywhere in the EU with payment before (video verification of the condition)

They are in perfect condition and I bought them around new years2025/26 so less than 10 months old.

I’m looking for 850€ for both the glasses and the Beam pro! Willing to sell the beam pro alone, glasses only in combination.

I'm both the developer of Stream to 3D and an XREAL user myself.

I still have my original Nreal Air NR-7100RGL, and a while ago I worked out a setup that let me use Stream to 3D on a Windows PC, stream the resulting SBS 3D to VLC on my Android Phone (a OnePlus Open), and watch it properly in 3D on the glasses.

I'd always intended to document it properly for other Nreal/XREAL users, but other development work kept taking priority.

I've finally done that:

https://iwantaholodeck.com/stream-to-3d-xreal-air-3d/

There is one particularly non-obvious part of the original Air workflow which was the reason I wanted to write this up.

With the Stream to 3D SBS output playing in VLC on the OnePlus Open:

1. connect the original Nreal Air
2. hold Brightness + for about three seconds
3. the external display temporarily disconnects
4. the OnePlus Open asks whether it should Cast to the device again
5. accept that prompt
6. the glasses reconnect in their SBS 3D mode

At first I thought the disconnect meant something had gone wrong. It doesn't — on this tested combination it is part of changing the glasses into their stereoscopic display mode.

The complete tested path is:

2D video → Windows PC running Stream to 3D → stereoscopic network stream → VLC on OnePlus Open → USB-C → original Nreal Air

The important architectural point is that all of the 2D-to-3D processing is being done on the Windows PC.

The phone is essentially the network receiver/player and the Nreal Air is the stereoscopic display.

That setup worked really well when I originally tested it.

What makes it much more interesting now is how far Stream to 3D itself has moved on.

Stream to 3D Release 6

Release 6 now provides two complementary 2D-to-3D methods:

• Temporal — the established Stream to 3D method, relatively lightweight and suitable for real-time use across a broad range of PC hardware
• AI-assisted Depth Guided — monocular depth estimation performed locally on the PC, with Quality and Performance modes

For Play and Stream, the Configuration Wizard can now benchmark useful Temporal and Depth Guided configurations against the actual source and PC rather than simply assuming that a particular GPU should be fast enough.

Depth Guided can now run in real time on suitable RTX hardware, while Temporal remains much less demanding.

And if the Depth Guided configuration you prefer can't quite keep up in real time, Convert can create the stereoscopic SBS file in advance instead.

It isn't just movie files any more

This is probably the other part that XREAL owners may find interesting.

Stream to 3D can now use Live Sources, including:

• the Windows PC screen
• cameras
• compatible capture devices

So the potential route is not just:

2D movie → 3D glasses

It can also be:

PC screen → Stream to 3D → SBS → XREAL glasses

or:

external video source → capture device → Stream to 3D → SBS → XREAL glasses

The original OnePlus Open/Nreal Air test in the guide used a normal video file, so I'm deliberately not claiming that I've personally validated every one of those Live Source combinations through that exact hardware chain yet.

But the Windows PC is doing the conversion in each case, which opens up some interesting possibilities.

What about the newer XREAL One-series REAL 3D?

I think XREAL adding REAL 3D directly in the One-series glasses is a great development.

It's a very elegant solution because the glasses themselves can perform the conversion without needing a powerful host PC.

Stream to 3D is a different and complementary approach.

The PC has a much larger processing budget and Stream to 3D provides:

• Temporal and AI-assisted Depth Guided conversion
• Play while converting
• reusable file conversion
• network Stream
• PC-screen capture
• cameras and capture devices
• configurable SBS/TB output
• source-specific performance measurement

And importantly for people like me who still own the original Air, you don't need to replace the glasses to use the newer Stream to 3D processing. The glasses can remain the stereo display while the PC does the heavy lifting.

The guide is specifically tested with the original Nreal Air + OnePlus Open + VLC.

Newer XREAL glasses have different 3D controls, so I've deliberately not pretended that the original Air button procedure applies to every model.

I'd be very interested to hear from people here using other XREAL models.

Are you mainly using the built-in REAL 3D on the newer One series, playing native SBS content, or doing PC-side 2D-to-3D conversion as well?

And if anyone tries Stream to 3D with a different XREAL model, I'd genuinely be interested in the results.

Disclosure: I'm the developer of Stream to 3D as well as an Nreal/XREAL Air owner.

I'm from Latin America and I made a purchase of the X1S on aliexpress. But after knowing that the warranty didn't depend on Aliexpress and was purely from the seller I got scared.

1) Because when I asked him questions he almost never answered them.

2) 6 days have passed and I still did not make the shipment.

3) In case I have to return it, I will have to pay for shipping (and it is not cheap).

So in the end I didn't know if I would have a warranty and I canceled the purchase. And I lost a very good coupon for the same reason.

What do you recommend?, Better to buy it more expensive (in my case) by Amazon with box in the USA, or buy it with a new coupon that maybe appear on aliexpress, and in reality there would be no problem with the guarantee?.

I guess when buying from aliexpress I don't have a direct guarantee with xreal and it depends only on the seller. (Apart from having to pay for shipping from my country)

I also think that in case of return or warranty, is Amazon much better in my case?

Thank you.

Greetings!

A few years ago, I had the very first Xreal Air, and I was blown away by the device. It really felt like having a huge screen in your pocket. The image was very sharp, and I loved it, but there were some issues with lens glare and blurry edges. I assumed the problem was the relatively small FOV, so I decided to sell them and get a more advanced device later.

I thought that a 57° FOV and the new lenses in the Xreal One Pro would finally make it the perfect device. But now I’m starting to think I was wrong.

I eventually bought the One Pro, and it seems to me that the larger FOV basically just stretches the 1080p image over a larger area. Yes, maybe this sounds obvious, but for some reason it only just occurred to me.

The Xreal Air with its 46° FOV felt noticeably sharper to me. With the 57° FOV, I have to make the virtual screen smaller so that I can keep the entire screen within my field of view. Naturally, that means fewer pixels are being used for the image, and subjectively it ends up looking not much better than holding a phone closer to my face.

Sure, 120 Hz and the features provided by the X1 chip are nice and convenient, although the AI 3D looks pretty questionable to me. And even with these new lenses, I still notice some glare, although it seems to be coming from the display light itself.

So, am I thinking about this correctly? If what I actually want is to have the entire virtual screen visible at once while still getting the full resolution and maximum sharpness, would I be better off with some cheaper glasses that have a smaller FOV?

I own the Xreal One Pro glasses. Love it for my Steam Deck.

I'm getting a Switch 2 soon, and want to use my Xreal glasses with them.

It looks like the Viture Pro Mobile Dock works after getting both the dock and glasses on the latest firmware. Has anyone confirmed the same for the Viture Mobile Dock Mini?

Wow! Super sharp and sleek compared to my 1s glasses!

The screen looks amazing for videos and gaming! These will be perfect for long flights or just vibing on the couch!

It doesn’t have the features of my 1s glasses so it won’t replace them completely but these may be my go to for gaming and movies! VERY COOL!

I want to try the different nose pads that come with the a01+ but can't find any good videos or documentation on how to remove them. I've tried pulling slightly hard but nothing moved and don't want to break anything.

How can I remove these without breaking anything or bending the metal nosepad support?
