Some crucial information about Xreal’s Android XR<\/a> glasses pursuit has come to light following a recent event appearance.<\/p>\n The company reportedly highlighted a few key details that brought its Android XR glasses into perspective at the Augmented World Expo (AWE), per Gizmodo<\/a>. One major specification is that Xreal’s glasses, codenamed “Project Aura,” will require a “tethered puck” for its computing processes. In short, the glasses won’t have the capability to process all of the data they absorb from within the frames. Users will need to have this computing puck with them.<\/p>\n Inside this puck is said to be a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC. However, Xreal didn’t detail which Qualcomm chip it will choose to empower Project Aura, so we might have to wait a little longer on that.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Something that’s a little more concrete was discussed regarding Project Aura’s lens displays. According to the post, the company stated Project Aura will receive “flat prism lens” technology. This tech will supposedly increase a user’s field of view to roughly 70 degrees, thanks to its “triangular-shaped glass pane.” More than that, Xreal states the glasses will contain a modified X1 chip known as the X1S. The former can be found in the Xreal One<\/a> frames.<\/p>\n A Familiar Tune<\/p>\n (Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich \/ Android Central)<\/p>\n One thing worth unpacking in all of this is Xreal’s reported reliance on a puck for Project Aura’s heavier computing power. This is quite similar to what Meta did with its Orion AR glasses<\/a>. Consumers were required to pop a wallet-sized puck into their pockets, so the glasses could do their thing. However, Meta’s Orion could pull data from the puck remotely via Quest Air Link. What Xreal has reportedly described is a “tethered” experience.<\/p>\n Meta also made its puck much more efficient, so we’ll have to see where Xreal lands with Project Aura.<\/p>\n![\"Wearing](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/MAza8BgvHSEtURDMmYYkaY.jpg\")
