Xreal, Google’s smart glasses partner, says the industry is at a turning point
TechCrunch AI·9d ago·Hardware
Xreal CEO Chi Xu told TechCrunch the smart glasses industry may be reaching an inflection point after years of losses and awkward products. Its Project Aura XR glasses use embedded OLED displays but rely on a tethered puck for computing. The developer-only device is planned for commercial release later this year, while Xreal works toward a possible 2026 IPO and future breakeven.
