XREAL Glasses Turn Any Device Into a Giant Personal Display

A WIRED hands-on with XREAL's tethered virtual display glasses (ROG Xreal R1 and XREAL xbx A01+) that project a huge screen in front of you from a connected device. They offer privacy and a huge viewing area for work, gaming, and media on planes or at a desk, but suffer from blurry small text, heat buildup, and a bulky look. The pricier R1 ($849) delivers a 171-inch virtual screen with a 57° field of view, while the lighter A01+ ($299) has a smaller 50° FOV and less ideal anchoring. They draw power from the connected device and aren’t perfect, but they exemplify a growing wearable-display category that IDC expects to reach millions of units in 2026, with XREAL aiming to expand toward camera-equipped XR glasses in the Aura line.

Infrared-vision glasses edge toward superhuman sight

Infrared-vision glasses edge toward superhuman sight

Beijing Institute of Technology researchers have built lightweight glasses that capture infrared light with mercury telluride quantum dots and convert it into visible colors via an OLED layer, overlaying IR hues onto a normal visible field. The 23-gram prototype renders weaker IR as red and stronger/shorter-wavelength IR as red-cyan, enabling simultaneous IR and visible perception. While a step toward visual prosthetics, high-fidelity AR, and navigation in degraded environments, practical devices remain years away; another group is pursuing infrared-detecting contact lenses as a parallel development.

Samsung bets Gemini glasses to rival Meta’s Ray-Ban with Android XR push

Samsung unveiled two display-free smart glasses powered by Gemini AI and Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1, with a fall 2026 launch and up to nine hours of battery plus seven additional charges in the case; pricing and many specs remain undisclosed. Aimed at challenging Meta’s Ray-Ban Gen 2, the glasses promise task-based workflows (translation, navigation, photo/video capture) across Android and iOS, aided by design partners Gentle Monster and Warby Parker and Galaxy Watch9 controls. Real-world performance, price and regional availability will determine whether Gemini’s contextual AI can match the Ray-Ban ecosystem, with privacy and post-launch testing shaping adoption.

Samsung Unveils AI-Ready Galaxy Glasses for Smart, Camera-Driven Wearables

Samsung revealed its Galaxy Glasses at Unpacked: display-free eyewear with cameras, mics, and speakers, developed with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker and running Google's Android XR alongside Gemini AI (and Samsung Bixby). They connect to Android phones and Wear OS, can perform AI-assisted tasks like summarizing meetings and guiding recipes, and offer a POV view in Google Meet. A four-design lineup is coming this fall, with about 9 hours of battery life per charge and a charging case that recharges the glasses up to seven times.

Samsung readies premium smart glasses to take on Meta

Samsung unveiled its forthcoming premium smart glasses, featuring a built-in camera to capture and read content, a system to summarize messages, built-in speakers, and gesture controls being tested with Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring. The device runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen1, must be tethered to a smartphone, and will launch this fall with more designs; pricing remains undisclosed, though analysts expect a premium price around $600–$700 to compete with Meta’s Ray-Ban line.

Pokémon Go Turns Ten: Real-world Adventures Forge a Global Gaming Community

Pokémon Go marks its 10th anniversary as a billion-download mobile game that merges GPS with AR to place virtual creatures in the real world. The title has built a global, real-life community with events in over 60 countries, hundreds of thousands of attendees annually, and stories of players forming friendships and even relationships through raids and meetups. Players have logged an estimated 100 billion kilometres exploring the world for Pokémon, while the game weathered glitches and pandemic-era shifts, and its future has been nudged by Scopely’s acquisition of Niantic in 2025, signaling ongoing evolution for the franchise.

Xreal’s A01 Plus: affordable AR glasses with caveats

Xreal’s A01 Plus is a $299, 62-gram, stripped-down version of the 1S that aims to bring affordable AR to a broader audience with bright 1080p visuals at 120Hz and modular shells, but it trims features like 3DoF positioning, on-glass volume control, and adjustable opacity. It relies on prescription inserts (~$50) for crisp clarity, and its frame can feel flimsy compared to the 1S, making it a solid entry point for first-time buyers who don’t need premium features.
