Xreal has a new premium set of display glasses.
First came the One, then the One Pro, then the 1S. Now, we have the $599 One Pro Plus — not kidding! These have brighter screens than the Pro (1,200 nits, up from 700), more ergonomic nose pads, and an improved Real3D mode that can render 2D content in 3D at 60Hz, up from 30Hz. First impressions are fine — not dramatically different from the One Pro so far, though that’s not such a bad thing. However, they’re a little more comfortable, and it’s a big UI improvement being able to adjust virtual screen size and distance from the button rocker instead of hidden away in a menu.
