Starting at just $199, this product offers exceptional value. It's refreshing to see a company genuinely focused on creating products for people to enjoy, rather than exploiting its users with high prices under the pretense of innovation. This company stands out by prioritizing user satisfaction and delivering true value, setting a new standard in the industry.

Its awesome that the AR market is a growing market and we are beginning to see more affordable options

[@adamadiallo845]

Just have a ring as a pointer to make it hand free. Also make the phone as mouse pad as an Option. Great work so far.

[@itsJDarts]

This is the way forward

Do Xreal ultra/ pro beam supporst HDCP for streaming DRM contents?

[@MatthewWilliams-kh4ww]

I love my Xreal airs. Beam has been amazing and the Beam Pro is going to be awesome as well

[@DeeDiazH]

Xreal Airs are amazing, I bought mine when it was still called nReal and I love it, but being honest, the beam is really bad product.

[@MatthewWilliams-kh4ww]

@@DeeDiazH I use it for everything. How else am I going to play my consoles on a stationary floating screen. Bad product? Nothing else was doing that when it was released. It didn't cost much.

[@DeeDiazH]

@@MatthewWilliams-kh4ww just because its the only one doesn’t mean its good, it overheats, constantly crashes and the promise was that you could “beam” media to it, and that works half the time, its a bad product with a good concept, hopefully the pro is better.

[@MatthewWilliams-kh4ww]

@@DeeDiazH Ah. So what's better?

[@DeeDiazH]

@@MatthewWilliams-kh4ww an “amazing” product as you said would have been better for sure.

Carnt wait for mine to turn up iv pre ordered 8gb model im really hopeing this device works a dream my Samsung s21 will not work with the glasses because my charge port on phone is faulty so im looking to use the beam pro instead of borrowing my sons phone all the time to watch movies whilst he's at school 😂😂 Love the glasses I use them whilst walking my dog and watch movies at the same time ,playing the rog,steam deck and whenever my kids want to watch the TV during the day I just leave them to it I just use my air pro 2 by far my favourite gadget purchase out of the last few years tbh, maybe one day il be able to get my hands on the ultra to try them out. Im really interested to see if a certain emulator that's been under scrutiny recently will work on the beam pro 😆

[@sujanneupane156]

Also need rayban meta like camera and ability to use AI library of your choice like llama Claude or openai. Then its perfect for mass adoption. I could ditch the ipads and external monitor and use my phone way less than i am using now.

[@gilbert512]

Is nebula compatible with iOS supporting 3 screens on MacBook, iPad and iPhone?

[@ilanlee3025]

Now just make the FOV larger and you are a multi billion dollar company

[@thesmartI]

As cool as Beam Pro is I think XREAL shouldn't have gone in that direction. By their own logic if there are 3 types of devices, AI, AR, XR 3:36, then why are you adding on another device to AR glasses for the price of a Quest, XR device. Bring support for iPhones spacial camera capturing the new iPhones already do and refine your app experience for all the users you already have

[@Lightning---K.]

You didn´t listen well to that part of the presentation ... the cameras on the iphone do not have the natural distance between each lens like we humans have our eyes for the best stereoscopic effect on videos and photos ( normally between 50mm to 70mm ) . So they chose to make it as natural as possible ( 50 mm distance btween the lenses and they took two identical cameras 50 megapixel , which you don´t have on the iphone ) Also your proposal would only offer the spatial functions to iphone owners .. what about all the android based phone owners ? Those are potential customers too ! In my opinion they designed a perfect product ... no battery drain on your mobile phone while using the glasses is an excellent choise .. you can even charge your phone with this device while using the glasses, your phone and the beam pro at the same time ! ! !

[@tapetwo7115]

The iPhone pros do fake 3D recording. The iPhone is also not even anywhere near capable of NebulaOS or VisionOS for Apple. The touchscreen is your trackpad and pointer when you have the glasses on. This is not a phone, it’s your personal spatial computer

[@bluetech2809]

@@tapetwo7115 the point is I don't think people want to have another DEVICE, they just want to hook up the AR glasses to the devices they already own.

[@tencheenian]

imagine the next nintendo switch is with stronger GPU which can allow user to attach AR glasses to the unit to play 3DS game..boom! all AR devices in the market will be all death with not enough 3d content compare to Nintendo... LOL

[@jdarg4163]

Nintendo is working on a XR Headset with Google as the company who is making the screen is a Google company called Raxium bro check the Nintendo patents and its going to be a separate platform than the Switch 2 but it will be compatible with it like I can play Switch 2 games ect

[@djfubar2008]

imho I think the XREAL AR Glasses are kind of a joke and a waste of money, using a old cheap parlor trick by using peppers ghost effect by reflecting a image/object/display on to a angled piece of reflective glass(other see through material) and saying that the XREAL are NEW and innovative, when it really isn't..... Why not apply Tech that is already out there that is new and innovative like Wave Guide displays? Wave Guide you can make a thinner/lighter/all-n-one stand alone device or connected wirelessly to a phone with a built in battery and have a closer form factor of normal glasses, instead of being tethered to a device w/ a USB C Cable. Connected to a phone wirelessly and have it do all the computing(or majority of it) via Bluetooth or some other form of wireless connectivity, combined w/ a power efficient processor to cut down battery usage and using similar components of like a smartwatch and putting it into a AR Glasses form factor using a Wave Guide display.

[@gregorysanders173]

Can you tell me what are the best ar glasses out there today

[@delick01]

Well , weight is a big factor. Making it wireless will mean it requires a battery.

[@Lightning---K.]

And in my opinion your proposal is not realistic ... the company made the right choise .. if you do not like it , don´t buy it ! People who travel a lot or have long pauses between work sessions love to watch movies during free time .. this beam pro device closes the gap and offers additional battery power and 6 DOF tracking for ALL smartphone owners and does the computing for the spatial apps ... it is absolutely perfect

[@tapetwo7115]

I like how people are still comparing this to a smartphone. A smart phone that isn’t capable of doing half of the things his product is offering. For 3D capturing for one, The iPhone pros do fake 3D recording. The iPhone is also not even anywhere near capable of NebulaOS, just like an iPad or iPhone couldn’t begin to emulate the power of VisionOS for Apple. The touchscreen is your trackpad and pointer when you have the glasses on. This is not a phone, it’s your personal spatial computer. Two very different products that share similar eco systems of apps.

[@mcruff3]

@@tapetwo7115 It is just a phone made for glasses. This is a phone running Android that has, better placement for spatial recording (iPhone isn't "fake" 3D btw), better ports for charging (2 ports to power glasses and to charge the phone). Nebula has little capability so far. You are just drinking the koolaid. The beam pro is still interesting, but is just a boutique phone at the end of the day.
