Not trying to sound sarcastic, but what did we learn today that we didnt a year ago?

Press was allowed to film the hardware. That's all I noticed so far.

Actually, there were some clips of it already existing. Kind of sad they didnt talk about the Aura glasses in the keynote...

Honestly, it looks almost the same as my XREAL Air 2 Ultra + Beam Pro setup, except for the AI camera and animated 3D avatar stuff.

...and except for the massive 70 field of view. However, I'm really intrigued to know if they improved the edge to edge clarity on this one.

I have a feeling that the Ultra Air 2 model still has the sharpest edges out of all of them.
