Significant information about Xreal’s pursuit of Android XR glasses has emerged after a recent event appearance.
The company reportedly pointed out several critical details that clarified its Android XR glasses at the Augmented World Expo (AWE), according to Gizmodo. A primary specification is that Xreal’s glasses, known as “Project Aura,” will need a “tethered puck” for their computing functions. In summary, the glasses won’t possess the ability to process all the data received within the frames. Users will have to carry this computing puck.
This puck is said to contain a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC. Nevertheless, Xreal did not specify which Qualcomm chip will be used to power Project Aura, so we may have to wait a bit longer for that information.
