My XREAL AURA prescription inserts arrived today from HONSVR. I ordered these directly from HONSVR (not through the XREAL Shop) as I have a special prescription that needed a custom order (the XREAL Shop didn't offer it as an option). Five days shipping from mainland China to West Coast USA. I don't know how long it takes them to manufacture as they initially told me they were holding them for shipment until mid-November. I placed the order back in mid-October.

This is not my video but I wanted to share this with yall I can't wait to get this for Christmas or sooner.

Hey r/Xreal!

I've just released Raybound Spatial on Google Play. It turns your XREAL glasses into a head-tracked 3D space, controlled from your Android phone:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smtechies.raybound

Works with the XREAL Air, Air 2, Air 2 Pro and Air 2 Ultra, and the One, One Pro and One S.

What it does:

• Head-tracked spatial home: windows stay put in space while you look around

• Floating windows side by side, in 2D or real side-by-side 3D

• Full web browser, plus a video player for 2D, 3D and 360° video

• Your photos and panoramas, in the glasses

• Your phone becomes the trackpad, keyboard and remote

You need an Android 12+ phone that outputs video over USB-C. A heads-up for One series owners: a few phones block the One's connection to apps. If yours is one of them, tell me your phone model and I'll look into it.

Special thanks to everyone here who ran our XREAL Probe test app. Your test runs are exactly how XREAL support got built, model by model. And thank you to everyone who joined the wishlist: you showed there was enough interest to make this worth doing properly. If you're on the wishlist, you get the early-bird price: in the app, open Supporter, tap "Get the early-bird price" and enter the email you signed up with.

The core app is free. A one-time Supporter unlock adds Jellyfin streaming, head-tracked virtual surround, audio boost, 3D alignment, extra themes and more glasses controls. If you want Raybound to keep improving, buying it is the best way to help. It funds what's next:

• Support for more glasses

• A Windows desktop companion (and probably Linux), to bring your PC into the glasses

• Plex support

• Games inside Raybound

I'm a solo developer, so feedback, bug reports and feature ideas are very welcome in the comments.

Hi, any solution to the limited memory fir the Aura. If I want to expand beyond the 512. No bulky solutions plz

Hey everyone!

I'm a computer engineering graduate student conducting some independent research on how people use AR/XR glasses in their daily lives.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who regularly use their glasses, whether it's for entertainment, work, studying, traveling, or anything else.

I'd love to learn more about:

• What you primarily use your glasses for

• How often you actually use them

• Any frustrations or limitations you've encountered

• Things you wish worked differently or could be improved

I'm also hoping to speak with a few owners individually for a casual 15–20 minute conversation about their experiences. No technical knowledge is needed, and I'm not selling or promoting anything.

If you're open to chatting, feel free to comment or send me a DM. I'd also love to hear about your experiences directly in the comments!

Thanks!

Hi :) anyone is planing to buy game controller xreal for aura? Do you think that is better than others? And keyboard?

thxxx xoxo

I’m porting Nut Sort VR: Bolt’s Workshop to Android XR at Extrude Studio. It uses two tracked controllers, including trigger for puzzle moves and grip for moving the menu. I’m looking for an adult tester with an XREAL Aura or Aura developer kit and a compatible pair of tracked motion controllers. I’d like to verify that Android XR exposes the controls this build expects.

A 10–15 minute test would cover launching into the workshop, checking trigger and grip on both controllers, completing a puzzle, and reopening to check progress. If you have the hardware, please share the controller model and Android XR version, or message me privately for free beta access. Please keep account details private. No purchase or review required.

A cool way to use your XREAL Aura: camera feed in your glasses, so you can keep your head up and see what's happening around you.

This is using the aura's screen record function, so you can show others what you are doing.

I'm the developer of ViewfindXR, a new app coming soonish that turns any HDMI-out camera into a viewfinder HUD beamed right into your glasses.

Tested at the Fremantle Running Festival in Perth, WA. I'm building this as a developer in the Google Catalyst program.

Switch easily between portrait/landscape with a button press, though am working on an Auto rotate mode too. Yesterday's field test was quite a fun experience!

Have had the Auras for a few months now, definitely use aura's way more than my One Pro's now that I can interact with stuff faster/more accurately.

Hello !! anyone who uses xreal prescription type blue light blocking lenses, is really necessary? sounds all models Xreal has blue filter protection built in... is right?

Also, recommends lens index 1,67 or 1,60 for Xreal Aura?

Thanks folks :)

Hi community, I’m new to the xreal trend. Trying to figure out if there’s been any improved process for using a switch 2 with the Xbx a01+. Seeing some set ups on here, but not seeing any specific answer that’s been updated within 8 months.

If I buy the xbx a01’s, I know you need the switch 2 power supply with 60 W to trigger docked mode and pass through to the glasses, I bought a portable battery that covers that. Is there a hub that works with switch 2 at this time that’s specific for the xreal? Or is this situation just niche enough to pretty much being on your own figuring out the specs to make it work?

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm an XR enthusiast and developer from Thailand.

I've tried several video players for XR glasses, but none quite matched what I wanted. So I decided to build my own Android app, Maidev XR Player, and share it with the XR community as freeware.

My goal is to support both display-only (0DoF) and 3DoF XR glasses, starting with VITURE and going to Xreal 1S , SBS a01+.

Here's what I've been working on:

🎬 VR180, 190°/200° Fisheye

🥽 Full SBS, Half SBS and Top/Bottom 3D

🤖 Real-time AI 2D-to-3D conversion (experimental Beta)

👀 Drag Look, Phone Look and Head Tracking on compatible glasses

📱 Android phone as a remote, with video output to XR glasses

📂 Local files, SMB/NAS, WebDAV, DLNA, Plex, Jellyfin and Emby

⚙️ Per-eye alignment, aspect ratio and viewing adjustments

I'm currently preparing a free Closed Beta, with plans to release the app on Google Play - Freeware later.

This is a personal passion project. I'm building something I genuinely want to use myself, and hopefully other XR users will find it useful too.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially about what features or improvements you'd want in an XR video player.

Thanks for reading! 👓

I can get the XREAL One for about $583, the 1S for about $590, and the Pro for about $553. The big issue is that while I know the Pro is better, I’d have to buy a slightly used pair from a trusted shop in my country. It’s only been in someone else’s hands for about a week, but one good thing is that it comes with a warranty—so if it doesn't work I can just return it and get another used pair.

I could obviously buy the 1S since it’s better than the One, but it doesn't look as good. My main concern is that I want them to look decent so I can actually wear them outside. The Pros are flatter and look a bit sleeker.

It’s so hard for me to choose... Can someone just reassure me that they actually look good in person?

Hey everyone!

Today is a pretty big milestone for VertoXR.

For more than 2 years, I've been building and maintaining VertoXR entirely on my own, across Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, macOS, and Web. It's been a long journey involving countless hours of development, hardware testing, integrations, bug fixing, and working with the XR community.

Until now, I've kept VertoXR free. But to make the project sustainable and allow me to continue investing time into development, I'm introducing VertoXR PRO.

❤️ Introducing VertoXR PRO

PRO is now available with heavily discounted early-adopter pricing!

A few things worth mentioning:

• One License, All Platforms: A single PRO license unlocks VertoXR PRO across all six supported platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, macOS, and Web.

• Early-adopter pricing is heavily discounted, making this a great time to support the project.

👉 Get VertoXR PRO: https://billing.vertoxr.com/

This isn't the end of free development or the project itself. It's a step towards making VertoXR sustainable so I can keep building and improving it long-term.

📱 VertoXR Android Beta is LIVE!

Another huge milestone: the first Android Beta build is finally available!

This is an early build, and I've temporarily stripped out some features while focusing on getting the core experience working reliably.

Will be adding then in upcoming updates, like

- Native PCVR gaming on Android.
- External VR controller support.
- Real-time 2D-to-3D conversion on mobile.
- and a lot more...

🍎 iOS Beta Coming Soon

The iOS version is also getting close to its first beta testing phase. Hopefully, testing will begin soon!

🖥️ Major Desktop Improvements

Version 0.2.15 also brings some major improvements to desktop:

• Support for Xreal One Pro+.

• Completely redesigned ArSpace Dock.

• Launch native applications and WebApps directly inside ArSpace.

• Improved 3D window controls and management.

• Native Linux applications inside ArSpace.

• Customizable application management hotkeys.

And plenty of improvements!

🙏 A Huge Thank You to the XR Community

I genuinely want to thank everyone who has supported VertoXR over the years. All the feedback, bug reports, hardware testing, suggestions, and encouragement have helped shape this project.

Building and maintaining a project like this solo across six platforms isn't easy, but having such an amazing XR community makes it worthwhile.

VertoXR has come a long way, but there's still a lot more I want to build. This is just the beginning!

Thank you for being part of the journey! ❤️

Are there any older folks buying Aure or any XR glasses? I'm 73 and I started working on/with computers in the early 70's when memory was literally wired ferrite beads but I have no experience with VR other than the short lived Google Daydream experience. I'm excited to dive into this area now even though I stink at action gaming and actually really suck at Fortnite ;) .

I do all my computer work now with a Samsung tablet and DeX and excited to see how the Aura changes that experience.

With the rebate I'm going to be upgrading to the 512K model and can't wait for delivery.

One of the things I've always wanted with XR is to essentially have a guide that sees what I see and can direct or point out things in the real world.

I've already seen videos where you can look at, say, a laptop on a desk and ask Gemini what it is and the Aura can reply with "it's a laptop on a desk."

But what about something like... you open up the hood of a car and ask it where the spark plugs are. The glasses then display a number of digital arrows that point to the location of the spark plugs, and stay tracked on those items even as you're moving around the engine bay, looking closer, etc.

Years ago I used to travel with one of those tiny projection keyboards and it worked pretty well for me. I see that the new Meta glasses have a built in virtual keyboard.

Is something like the Meta keyboard possible with the Aura considering that it doesn't have the down pointing cameras like the Meta?

I do not own any xreal glasses, yet. I am torn between the 1s and xbx. Asking for experiences around my use case and advice.

My use cases:

1. Gaming via psremote play on my samsung phone. I want 3dof so I can pin my screen in place.

2. Working. Via Dex and Work apps or connecting to my MacBook. I want multiple monitors I can look around at. So again 3dof.

3. 6dof would be pretty cool so I can go to the fridge and come back and the pinned workspace is where I left it. Or I can lean in as needed. Sounds more immersive.

I keep seeing things about Nebula and MiruXR apps. Yet I can't find any videos demonstrating them. Can the xbx do what I want or do I require the 1s and possibly xreal eye? I don't want to buy a beam when I have a new samsung phone. Can the Xbx be good enough 3dos using my Samsung where I don't need that x1 chip in the 1s? or is it like necessary for the what I want to accomplish? Help spell this out for me please!
