The Chinese startup Xreal has introduced the augmented reality headset Xreal 1S — lightweight AR glasses with support for automatic conversion of 2D content into 3D.

What is known

The glasses feature two 0.68” Sony OLED microdisplays with a resolution of 1920 × 1200 pixels for each eye and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. An important feature is the automatic conversion of 2D video into 3D, allowing familiar content to be viewed in a volumetric format. At the same time, the brightness of the displays has been increased to 700 nits, and the field of view has been expanded to 52 degrees, making the image more vivid and realistic.

The headset weighs only 82 grams, making it comfortable for prolonged use.

The device runs on the proprietary X1 processor, which provides a minimal delay of up to 3 ms and supports motion tracking in the 3DoF format. The color reproduction is highly accurate (ΔE < 3), guaranteeing natural shades and a stable image, while the sound is handled by the built-in audio system from Bose.

Importantly, the gadget does not have a built-in battery — it is powered directly from a connected device (smartphone, PC, or console). For autonomous use, the company offers the external Xreal Neo power block with a 10,000 mAh battery.

The Xreal 1S glasses are already available in Japan for around $437, with an international release expected in 2026.
