Summary

Xreal's new 1S glasses boast 1200p resolution, up from 1080p.
The 1S model is priced at $449, a $50 reduction from its predecessor.
The Neo accessory ($99) enables private gaming sessions with Nintendo Switch.

Xreal Inc., a leader in augmented reality glasses, has unveiled its latest entry-level hardware, the 1S, at CES. This new model significantly enhances video resolution to 1200p from the previous 1080p, promising a crisper visual experience for users. The company has also notably reduced the price, with the 1S retailing for $449, down from $499 for its predecessor.

These AR glasses offer an expansive display that can be connected to smartphones, laptops, and gaming consoles without requiring a separate battery pack. To address compatibility issues with gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch, Xreal is introducing the Neo accessory. This $99 device combines a battery pack and video hub, facilitating a private gaming setup on the go, although Nintendo could potentially block this functionality.

Xreal's glasses provide a more portable and affordable alternative to immersive headsets like Apple's Vision Pro. While they may not match the field of view or enclosed immersion of such devices, they represent a key part of Xreal's strategy. The company is also collaborating with Google on Project Aura, a more advanced standalone AR glasses initiative.
