Xreal Air 2 Pro introduces new technical features and accessories
The company Xreal has revealed the updated specifications of its augmented reality glasses, the Air 2 Pro model. This launch not only improves the main device but also introduces new accessories designed to expand its capabilities and address practical limitations. 🚀
Improvements in the Air 2 Pro glasses
The Pro model incorporates a key novelty: an electrochromic dimming system. This allows the user to manually adjust the opacity of the lenses across three distinct levels, controlling the amount of ambient light that passes through. Additionally, Xreal has worked to optimize comfort with interchangeable nose pads and a redesign that makes them lighter. Visual quality remains high thanks to the micro-OLED displays, which offer high pixel density for sharp images.
Main features of the glasses:- Electrochromic system with three opacity levels.
- Lighter design and interchangeable nose pads for greater comfort.
- Micro-OLED displays that maintain high image sharpness.
While some manufacturers integrate everything into a single headset, Xreal opts to distribute functions across multiple devices.
Beam Pro: an all-in-one controller
To complement the glasses, Xreal presents the Beam Pro. This smartphone-shaped device functions as an independent content source and a dedicated touch controller. It includes two spatial cameras to capture 3D photos and videos, content specifically designed for viewing in augmented reality. The goal is to offer a complete experience without needing to connect a phone or external console, although it adds one more element to the setup.
Beam Pro functions:- Acts as an independent content source and touch controller.
- Includes two spatial cameras to create 3D content.
- Aims to eliminate dependence on an external mobile phone.
Gaming solutions: the dock for Nintendo Switch
Recognizing a common limitation among gamers, Xreal announces an official dock for Nintendo Switch. This accessory connects directly to the console to charge its battery while the user plays with the Xreal glasses. It thus solves the problem of the Switch's battery draining during prolonged gaming sessions, a frequent difficulty when using wearable displays with portable devices. It is a practical and straightforward solution.
Xreal's philosophy seems clear: instead of creating a monolithic device, it divides functions into specialized components. To use the system to its fullest, a potential user would need the Air 2 Pro glasses, the Beam Pro device, and, if a gamer, the Switch dock. This approach offers modularity but also implies managing more cables and chargers. ⚙️
