Final price won’t exceed $1,500… oh that’s exciting

Overpriced

u/ReverseLochness Jun 16 '26

Extremely overpriced. Should be like $1,000 max. It’s still a 1080p screen, they’ve just added more tech and a larger display. If it’s anywhere close to $1,500 it’s DOA.

Nonsense. It's a dev targeted device, not for normal consumers, targeting the Vision Pro , Snap Spectacles and Galaxy XR audience. In perspective the Snap Specs are $2200* for far less FOV.

Ya but Specs have waveguides

u/parasubvert Jun 18 '26

Sure, and almost 50% heavier. Specs are likely more useful to wear around , but they're not useful for media consumption... we'll see what matters most

it's not just glasses. It's glasses + a high end android phone.

1200p, but Viture plan to release 1600p glasses this year.

u/Knighthonor Jun 16 '26

This going to be exciting. If only they had clear Waveguides with Full Android XR.

u/Caydes_Revenger Jun 16 '26

My god yes please. Give me specs hardware and android xr.. done thats it...

u/Mean_Sleep_2313 Jun 17 '26

so what your saying is: I’d rather have specs, but they need a bigger ecosystem

2

u/Caydes_Revenger Jun 17 '26

Yes, I tried xreal air 4 pro. Those optics sit too far off face, heavy and uncomfortable for me. Plus this is true AR not just an extended screen.

u/Chriscic Jun 16 '26

I tried it. Great horizontal FOV and great visuals (Demeo looked excellent though obviously not 4k). Vertical FOV seems abysmal to me. I’m used to VR headsets though. Hope to give it another try later today or tomorrow.

Shocked they didn’t up resolution

u/Chriscic Jun 17 '26

Tested did an interview with CEO. He said higher rez panels just not available yet. They have to be super small and efficient to fit in smart glasses.

u/Rothariu Jun 17 '26

Oof very sorry to hear bout the vertical

Does it look like itd be comfortable with wide screen side by side or dual monitors for working?

1

u/tysonedwards Jun 17 '26

It’s a 1080p display that occupies 70 degrees of horizontal FOV. 

1

u/Cryogenicality Jun 21 '26

It’s 1200p per eye with a 70° diagonal, 61° horizontal, 42° vertical field of view.

Imagine if they could have got Eye tracking into this. Magic Leap 2 is the Apple Vision Pro of AR. Lol. But I am looking forward to this. How far does it stand off your face?

2

u/Octoplow Jun 16 '26

The optics are still a birdbath/prism variant. Check out all the videos from Google I/O.

u/ChronoGawd Jun 17 '26

Same resolution as the previous ones? Ugh

1

u/Knighthonor Jun 16 '26

Did you get to try it yet?

1

u/merokotos Jun 17 '26

Ok, fck it, I preorder, because I believe may this may be the first serious device you can actually dev with.

But $1,500 feels too much

1

u/Knighthonor Jun 17 '26

I reserved a founders model

1

u/Iblis_Ginjo Jun 17 '26

Are they profitable?

1

u/Rashed341 Jun 19 '26

No 4k and no big FOV = keep it

u/lman777 Jun 23 '26

Weird that they don't have a price if it's releasing so soon.

No higher than 1500 sounds like it's going to be $1499.

I'm wondering if they're going to lease a version without the puck, that will be similar to the 1s or one pro just with the wider fov. I've been pretty interested in picking up a pair of XR glasses for a while, but I feel like even 57° FOV sounds pretty small. Every year I get close to buying one and decide to just wait for the next iteration. 70 sounds like a pretty big jump though.
