  • 00:00:00
    hey everybody it's Norm from tested and
  • 00:00:01
    today I want to give you a first look at
  • 00:00:04
    my Hands-On Impressions with X re's new
  • 00:00:06
    line of their display glosses or what
  • 00:00:09
    they call these AR glasses not really AR
  • 00:00:13
    just yet this is the xra one and along
  • 00:00:17
    with the xra one pro launching early
  • 00:00:20
    next year uh they're the latest in a
  • 00:00:22
    whole line of Hardware that we covered
  • 00:00:25
    only 4 months ago in a video where I
  • 00:00:27
    showed you the external airs and the Air
  • 00:00:29
    Ultra
  • 00:00:30
    and the beam and the beam Pro in that
  • 00:00:32
    video I lamented how difficult it is for
  • 00:00:35
    consumers out there to make choices and
  • 00:00:37
    to know when to jump into this type of
  • 00:00:39
    Technology because it seems like there
  • 00:00:40
    seems to be a new pair of these glasses
  • 00:00:43
    coming out every six months or so but
  • 00:00:46
    the xra ones and the one pro does have
  • 00:00:50
    interesting new technology I think it's
  • 00:00:51
    worth discussing and worth considering
  • 00:00:53
    if you're thinking about making a
  • 00:00:55
    purchase so let's dive into the
  • 00:00:57
    technology uh as we've discussed in the
  • 00:00:59
    past these are display glasses where
  • 00:01:02
    they don't have a real computer at least
  • 00:01:04
    in previous generations on the inside
  • 00:01:06
    you know a thing like a steam deck your
  • 00:01:08
    phone your laptop with display port out
  • 00:01:11
    you plug them into the glasses over a
  • 00:01:13
    cable and they kind of act as floating
  • 00:01:16
    monitors they have two tiny micro OLED
  • 00:01:19
    displays that using bird bath Optics
  • 00:01:22
    make it feel like you have a giant 1080p
  • 00:01:25
    screen floating in front of you as large
  • 00:01:27
    as 240 something inches you can place it
  • 00:01:31
    in space now in the past one of my
  • 00:01:34
    frustrations with this Glass Technology
  • 00:01:36
    was that that what image was locked in
  • 00:01:38
    place with the first generation airs
  • 00:01:40
    when my head moved it was headlocked and
  • 00:01:42
    that's not how I interact with content I
  • 00:01:44
    like moving my eyes but also move my
  • 00:01:46
    head to look around and so get real
  • 00:01:49
    Three Degree of Freedom tracking you had
  • 00:01:51
    to use the beam or the beam Pro these
  • 00:01:54
    Puck accessories that would offload that
  • 00:01:57
    compute that reprojecting
  • 00:02:00
    of the image to make an image locked
  • 00:02:02
    into place the beam was okay it
  • 00:02:06
    overheated a bit you know you could
  • 00:02:08
    really do too much with it the beam Pro
  • 00:02:10
    actually like a lot I've been traveling
  • 00:02:12
    with the airs and the beam Pros putting
  • 00:02:14
    movies on a Micro SD card using their
  • 00:02:17
    nebula OS and Native video players to
  • 00:02:20
    play movies without having to bring a
  • 00:02:23
    giant Apple Vision Pro carrying case on
  • 00:02:25
    an international flight this works just
  • 00:02:27
    as well for that purpose of having a
  • 00:02:30
    large Screen Cinema but it's still an
  • 00:02:32
    extra accessory well with the ones and
  • 00:02:35
    the one Pros they've put that processing
  • 00:02:38
    finally into the glasses themselves
  • 00:02:41
    they've internally developed a chip uh
  • 00:02:43
    called the X1 chip it's a 12 nanometer
  • 00:02:46
    processed chip using tsmc uh
  • 00:02:49
    semiconductors and it's embedded onto
  • 00:02:52
    the top of the glasses this co-processor
  • 00:02:55
    they're calling it does all the
  • 00:02:57
    processing of the motion data of the
  • 00:02:59
    gyroscop in data that three degree of
  • 00:03:01
    tracking it's not sixed off you can't
  • 00:03:03
    move forward or backward there are no
  • 00:03:05
    cameras here to look at the outside
  • 00:03:07
    world uh but it works as advertised and
  • 00:03:10
    a much lower latency much more
  • 00:03:12
    responsive than the pass Hardware
  • 00:03:15
    Solutions or even software Solutions if
  • 00:03:17
    you're using you know Dei on the steam
  • 00:03:19
    deck they're claiming down to a 3
  • 00:03:22
    millisecond response rate if you're
  • 00:03:24
    running this at 120 hertz now most of
  • 00:03:27
    the time it's 90 htz so it's a little
  • 00:03:29
    bit higher than that that's still many
  • 00:03:32
    times faster than the 20 to 30 second
  • 00:03:35
    milliseconds when you're having to pass
  • 00:03:37
    that gyroscopic data onto a compute Puck
  • 00:03:40
    and then reprocessing the image and
  • 00:03:43
    getting that back having the chip on the
  • 00:03:45
    glasses not only is a much better use of
  • 00:03:49
    the form factor but the performance is
  • 00:03:51
    actually much better I've had this
  • 00:03:53
    pre-release set of glasses for the past
  • 00:03:55
    week using over my Thanksgiving break
  • 00:03:58
    and it is so much easier to use this
  • 00:04:01
    with something like a steam deck than
  • 00:04:02
    having to pass through the beam or
  • 00:04:05
    casting to a device like the beam Pro
  • 00:04:08
    now the xreal one Pros also use that X1
  • 00:04:12
    chip but also has significant Optical
  • 00:04:16
    changes as well uh while the ones have a
  • 00:04:20
    50° field of view so that's about 4
  • 00:04:22
    degrees wider than the 46° of the airs a
  • 00:04:25
    little less than the 52° of the ultas
  • 00:04:29
    the one Pros have a 57 Dee field of view
  • 00:04:32
    offered by a new flat prison optic
  • 00:04:35
    system also internally developed in
  • 00:04:37
    their own Factory this is something
  • 00:04:39
    they're telling me they've actually
  • 00:04:41
    internally designed and engineered and
  • 00:04:43
    tested rather than working with a
  • 00:04:45
    thirdparty vendor for these bird bath
  • 00:04:47
    Optics and before we dive into the
  • 00:04:50
    functionality and my Impressions I want
  • 00:04:52
    to share with you a conversation I had
  • 00:04:53
    with xra CEO Chi about how they develop
  • 00:04:57
    this X1 chip and their road map forward
  • 00:05:01
    let's take a listen CH thank you so much
  • 00:05:03
    for having us here good to see you again
  • 00:05:05
    yeah like always yeah um so I want to
  • 00:05:08
    ask you have so many questions about uh
  • 00:05:09
    the new glasses you guys are launching
  • 00:05:11
    you guys are announcing two pairs of
  • 00:05:13
    glasses the you're calling it now the
  • 00:05:15
    the ones and the one Pros yes um in the
  • 00:05:20
    past you had the beam you had the beam
  • 00:05:23
    Pro you know which address the desire
  • 00:05:26
    from users to want to have whatever
  • 00:05:28
    input from a phone from steam deck to be
  • 00:05:31
    fixed in orientation right and you're
  • 00:05:33
    saying that is now in One of These Arms
  • 00:05:36
    of the glasses basically we're putting
  • 00:05:38
    the beam into the glasses with the
  • 00:05:40
    minimum latency you can possibly get
  • 00:05:42
    yeah so why in the past was there a
  • 00:05:44
    whole external Puck all the Heat and all
  • 00:05:46
    the fan and power consumption how is
  • 00:05:49
    that now in a chip that can okay use
  • 00:05:53
    power draw first of all you know uh
  • 00:05:55
    there's nobody else has ever done that
  • 00:05:56
    before and you know uh there wasn't
  • 00:05:59
    really a market kit for this type of you
  • 00:06:00
    know glasses before so when we get into
  • 00:06:02
    this we realize okay there's actually a
  • 00:06:04
    perfect Market fit for this and we start
  • 00:06:07
    to realize okay there's no existing
  • 00:06:09
    solution that will support this kind of
  • 00:06:11
    capability as being the market leader
  • 00:06:12
    for Consumer a glasses we realize we
  • 00:06:15
    might have to do this on our own so
  • 00:06:17
    three years earlier we actually start a
  • 00:06:19
    project and finally after a lot of
  • 00:06:21
    investment and effort now we're finally
  • 00:06:23
    there so you have an in-house chip
  • 00:06:25
    design team you have in-house Optical
  • 00:06:28
    design team it's not the case where
  • 00:06:30
    you're going around sourcing for and
  • 00:06:33
    waiting for industry to necessarily
  • 00:06:35
    catch up we tried but we want to say ah
  • 00:06:37
    had of the others we want to actually
  • 00:06:39
    keep pushing this bungies for for the
  • 00:06:41
    kind of experience and we couldn't wait
  • 00:06:43
    well tell me about the chip then what
  • 00:06:44
    are the capabilities of this chip I
  • 00:06:46
    imagine it's most like processing or
  • 00:06:48
    reprojecting video okay so what it does
  • 00:06:51
    essentially is you know we're not
  • 00:06:52
    replacing your uh chip here right we're
  • 00:06:55
    building a co-processor that can work
  • 00:06:57
    with those kind of chips and putting
  • 00:06:59
    theay in sensitive computation and
  • 00:07:00
    perception related computation into the
  • 00:07:03
    chck so this actually will end up giving
  • 00:07:05
    you only 3 millisecond motion to fom
  • 00:07:07
    latency for all our exteral one glasses
  • 00:07:10
    and we're so excited because nobody else
  • 00:07:12
    has ever done this before to give us
  • 00:07:14
    some reference you know Vision Pro have
  • 00:07:15
    about 12 millisecond and our previous
  • 00:07:18
    generation connecting through beam Pro
  • 00:07:20
    or beam will take about 20 to 30
  • 00:07:23
    millisecond so this one is in a
  • 00:07:25
    different level so if you're looking for
  • 00:07:27
    you know if you're a gamer like a steam
  • 00:07:29
    deck or if you're looking for some
  • 00:07:30
    productivity use cases you have to
  • 00:07:32
    upgrade to X One Series yeah and and
  • 00:07:34
    you're also one of few devices that
  • 00:07:36
    still allow a direct display port input
  • 00:07:38
    that's right and you're not talking
  • 00:07:39
    about casting not talking about running
  • 00:07:41
    native applications no on the glasses
  • 00:07:44
    you believe that this is more of a
  • 00:07:45
    companion device for people with phones
  • 00:07:48
    with display port out devices with
  • 00:07:51
    display port out so we have two
  • 00:07:52
    different separate we called a product
  • 00:07:54
    Vision okay one is what you call spatial
  • 00:07:56
    display so we don't need any kind of
  • 00:07:58
    dependency to the hosting device just
  • 00:07:59
    want this to be easy plug into anything
  • 00:08:01
    and simply work yeah and the the second
  • 00:08:04
    level is what we call spal Computing but
  • 00:08:06
    it does require you know more players
  • 00:08:08
    coming around together for platforms for
  • 00:08:10
    Content you know for a lot of native AR
  • 00:08:13
    applications I think that St be the
  • 00:08:14
    future but we're just not there yet and
  • 00:08:17
    that's the type of device that would
  • 00:08:18
    require more input cameras more
  • 00:08:20
    absolutely more Hardware more processing
  • 00:08:23
    um and and they can share research in
  • 00:08:26
    terms of like your office you can share
  • 00:08:28
    things like the X1 chip absolutely yeah
  • 00:08:30
    um you still have this I mean in the
  • 00:08:33
    glasses form factor right and you're
  • 00:08:34
    calling them AR glasses and you know one
  • 00:08:36
    of the things that I issue with is I
  • 00:08:38
    don't see people walking around wearing
  • 00:08:40
    this necessarily like it's great for me
  • 00:08:41
    on the couch great for me on a on an
  • 00:08:43
    airplane you know is the vision really
  • 00:08:45
    to have people walk around wearing these
  • 00:08:47
    glasses you know or that's a good
  • 00:08:49
    question I think you know the glasses
  • 00:08:50
    you were wearing today this is all day
  • 00:08:51
    wearable glasses but we are building not
  • 00:08:54
    for all day wearable but we're doing
  • 00:08:56
    something like all day portable so it's
  • 00:08:58
    very similar to to a sunglasses you're
  • 00:09:00
    carrying today you don't really
  • 00:09:02
    necessarily wear sunglasses all the time
  • 00:09:04
    but you carry that with you and from
  • 00:09:06
    time to time you put them on and boom it
  • 00:09:08
    simply works that's kind of philosophy
  • 00:09:10
    we're getting here and that's why we can
  • 00:09:11
    do this tatter solution because that's
  • 00:09:14
    the best kind of balance between
  • 00:09:15
    performance and you know we comfort and
  • 00:09:18
    everything so eventually as time goes by
  • 00:09:21
    when you're so used to that maybe at
  • 00:09:22
    some point maybe 3 to five years later
  • 00:09:24
    you cut a wire and this will transfer
  • 00:09:27
    into all weall devices like the leave
  • 00:09:29
    the Mana proc and like you said also a
  • 00:09:31
    good balance between social
  • 00:09:32
    acceptability as well so even though you
  • 00:09:35
    may not be walking around wearing like
  • 00:09:37
    as all day wearables you're not getting
  • 00:09:39
    second looks on an airplane in the
  • 00:09:41
    living room it's not bulky you're still
  • 00:09:43
    you have these these these parameters
  • 00:09:45
    that you're going for for weight that's
  • 00:09:46
    true yes but on the other hand we're
  • 00:09:49
    trying to blur the kind of boundaries
  • 00:09:50
    right now for for the new glasses we
  • 00:09:52
    have the side view kind options here you
  • 00:09:54
    can actually uh shrink your screen to a
  • 00:09:57
    tiny window in front of you and because
  • 00:09:58
    the L is so small it is so stable I
  • 00:10:02
    actually think you know for Fitness for
  • 00:10:04
    some other activities you can actually
  • 00:10:05
    wear this yeah while doing you know even
  • 00:10:08
    jogging yeah yeah and and part of that
  • 00:10:09
    because you're using you know bird bath
  • 00:10:11
    style Optics there's always that
  • 00:10:12
    tradeoff not only for display resolution
  • 00:10:15
    and field of view but also how much
  • 00:10:16
    transmissibility of light that's right
  • 00:10:18
    yep yeah so how are you addressing but
  • 00:10:20
    still you can keep pushing that as you
  • 00:10:21
    can tell it's getting more and more
  • 00:10:23
    transparent for for the newer generation
  • 00:10:24
    as well right so I willon be surprised
  • 00:10:27
    at some point it can be as light and as
  • 00:10:29
    compact as normal as your glasses well
  • 00:10:32
    and the way to get toward that right you
  • 00:10:34
    develop your own new optic system from
  • 00:10:36
    the pro that's right the one pro uh tell
  • 00:10:38
    me about and this is not launching till
  • 00:10:40
    early next year releasing early next
  • 00:10:42
    year but tell me about the development
  • 00:10:43
    of this and and how this fundamentally
  • 00:10:45
    differs from the the one yeah we're
  • 00:10:49
    actually the first one to really put bur
  • 00:10:50
    bath in mass production right we
  • 00:10:52
    actually shrink that compared to the
  • 00:10:54
    early prototypes and make that really
  • 00:10:56
    you know available and affordable and I
  • 00:10:58
    think you that's also the benefit of
  • 00:11:00
    having our in-house factories not only
  • 00:11:02
    we're designing them we're designing
  • 00:11:04
    manufacturing we're shipping them
  • 00:11:05
    everything is in-house so that gave us
  • 00:11:08
    the capability to keep pushing and
  • 00:11:10
    working innovating and this is something
  • 00:11:13
    we're so excited about I think you know
  • 00:11:14
    this one we have better much compact
  • 00:11:18
    kind of form factor with wider fun of
  • 00:11:20
    you fundamentally I I see like there's I
  • 00:11:22
    imagine there's a a similar Sony type of
  • 00:11:25
    display at the top right on both both
  • 00:11:27
    eyes I see even looking on the side
  • 00:11:29
    there's a you know some type of combiner
  • 00:11:31
    that's right right um but what allows it
  • 00:11:33
    to not be as as as thick as the ones
  • 00:11:37
    process perspective is getting more and
  • 00:11:39
    more kind of advanced so we'll keep
  • 00:11:41
    challenging that because of the kind of
  • 00:11:44
    experiences we're getting Building B
  • 00:11:45
    bath we know how we can actually take a
  • 00:11:48
    step further make more complicated kind
  • 00:11:50
    of design and challenging with more
  • 00:11:53
    Advance kind of processes what's
  • 00:11:54
    interesting to me is also as you get
  • 00:11:56
    more compact your Field view also
  • 00:11:58
    expands yes you go from 50 to 57 yep you
  • 00:12:01
    know is this just a fundamental shift in
  • 00:12:04
    in bird bath design it is okay it is so
  • 00:12:07
    going forward this will be kind of like
  • 00:12:08
    the Baseline new standard I think that
  • 00:12:10
    will be the mainstream going forward and
  • 00:12:13
    we're trying everything possible to get
  • 00:12:14
    that you know more and more uh
  • 00:12:17
    affordable yes and also we're hoping
  • 00:12:19
    we're not stopping there 57 is not a go
  • 00:12:22
    we're thinking something like 70 to 80
  • 00:12:24
    de that's your target you feel like
  • 00:12:26
    there's a good road map absolutely with
  • 00:12:27
    this new manufacturing process
  • 00:12:29
    absolutely what are the challenges at is
  • 00:12:30
    it materials is it yields it is kind of
  • 00:12:33
    both yeah it's it's even that more than
  • 00:12:36
    that it's also the cost you know it's
  • 00:12:38
    also uh no one else has ever done that
  • 00:12:40
    before so you have to actually come up
  • 00:12:43
    with the right people the right
  • 00:12:44
    mindsight uh to kind of Polish those
  • 00:12:46
    stuff and working with different vendors
  • 00:12:48
    as well to really get there yeah and
  • 00:12:50
    then you know I talked about sourcing
  • 00:12:52
    components but one of the vendors that
  • 00:12:53
    you are relying on are is a display you
  • 00:12:55
    don't make your own displays do you see
  • 00:12:57
    a radat for the dis form factor as you
  • 00:13:01
    know you go to micro oleds and things
  • 00:13:03
    like that that make your design that
  • 00:13:05
    you're factoring into the design of
  • 00:13:07
    these object absolutely I think in the
  • 00:13:08
    near future micro OLS what you want is
  • 00:13:10
    getting more and more pixels there right
  • 00:13:12
    so right now we're still adding 1080p
  • 00:13:14
    even though we're getting like better
  • 00:13:16
    better motion blur and resolution but
  • 00:13:18
    still you want more pixels into that and
  • 00:13:21
    going forward you actually want to have
  • 00:13:22
    can we have more compact kind of display
  • 00:13:24
    maybe microed maybe some other
  • 00:13:26
    technology as well so we'll just you
  • 00:13:28
    know keep working with those guys and
  • 00:13:30
    try to find the best kind of option that
  • 00:13:32
    times goes by yeah you know as someone
  • 00:13:35
    who loves technology I love to see the
  • 00:13:36
    fast iteration the fast pace of it right
  • 00:13:38
    because I know for you it's many years
  • 00:13:40
    and the works for the chip and for the
  • 00:13:42
    optics for Consumer side it can be a
  • 00:13:44
    little frustrating right because they
  • 00:13:45
    don't know when to when's the time to
  • 00:13:47
    jump in that's true right so how do you
  • 00:13:49
    think about a road map that aligns with
  • 00:13:52
    a consumer purchasing with you know when
  • 00:13:55
    devices have more USB like how do you
  • 00:13:56
    feel about first of all you know I
  • 00:13:58
    really want to un
  • 00:13:59
    you know iterating Hardware is really
  • 00:14:01
    challenging and very expensive right so
  • 00:14:04
    we think you know we already done our
  • 00:14:06
    best trying to iterating at least you
  • 00:14:07
    know couple times a year you know you
  • 00:14:09
    can see new product coming out of this
  • 00:14:11
    every year but if you ask me I think in
  • 00:14:13
    the next CP next couple years it's going
  • 00:14:15
    to be very exciting and not only us you
  • 00:14:18
    see orine you see you know Snapchat you
  • 00:14:20
    see a lot of other companies are coming
  • 00:14:22
    different kind of osc glasses this is
  • 00:14:24
    probably the best time for for as a
  • 00:14:27
    customer to see kind of new innovation
  • 00:14:29
    is coming to this uh this Market well
  • 00:14:31
    thank you so much for sharing with with
  • 00:14:33
    us the new technology giving us some
  • 00:14:35
    insight into the development process and
  • 00:14:36
    also even teasing the road map ahead
  • 00:14:38
    it's great absolutely love to be here
  • 00:14:40
    thank you so much all right thank you so
  • 00:14:42
    as you heard from Chi there could be
  • 00:14:44
    many improvements down the road both on
  • 00:14:46
    the processing side and on the optic
  • 00:14:48
    side the X1 chip this is 12 nanometers
  • 00:14:51
    of tsmc which can go down to seven or
  • 00:14:54
    five or 3 nanometers meaning reduced
  • 00:14:56
    power consumption or more functionality
  • 00:14:58
    things things that they can explore as
  • 00:15:00
    they get more of these into the
  • 00:15:02
    marketplace the Optics with their flat
  • 00:15:04
    prism Optics while they're 57 degrees
  • 00:15:07
    and in my hands on time that's a
  • 00:15:09
    meaningful difference compared to 50
  • 00:15:11
    degrees they're talking about going up
  • 00:15:13
    to 60 or 70 somehow and they have a road
  • 00:15:16
    map for developing those Optics somehow
  • 00:15:19
    in the future but the devices that will
  • 00:15:21
    be available this holiday season the
  • 00:15:23
    ones shipping later this month and the
  • 00:15:26
    one Pros early next year is that worth
  • 00:15:29
    jumping into and I can't go do a full
  • 00:15:32
    review now I don't have the one Pros
  • 00:15:33
    here and this is pre-release hardware
  • 00:15:36
    and software but the experience that
  • 00:15:38
    I've used so far does feel way more
  • 00:15:41
    convenient and actually a much better
  • 00:15:43
    user experience um than having the beam
  • 00:15:46
    or the beam Pro having just one cable go
  • 00:15:50
    to my laptop or the gaming device having
  • 00:15:53
    the ultra low latency of that code
  • 00:15:56
    processor being on board actually makes
  • 00:15:59
    the experience so much better I felt
  • 00:16:01
    than the M Pros now there's it's not
  • 00:16:03
    like there's no blurring or no smearing
  • 00:16:05
    if I move my head around really quickly
  • 00:16:07
    the images do feel a little bit smear
  • 00:16:11
    but it did feel much better compared to
  • 00:16:14
    the original airs plugged into the beam
  • 00:16:17
    field of view wise at 50° I felt those
  • 00:16:20
    very similar to the airs and the ultas
  • 00:16:23
    when I'm using this in the anchored
  • 00:16:25
    image mode where the image stays in
  • 00:16:27
    place I'm not actually using the full
  • 00:16:29
    field of view I want a little bit of
  • 00:16:30
    buffer so that when my head bobbles a
  • 00:16:32
    little bit naturally I'm not getting the
  • 00:16:34
    clipping on all four sides so every
  • 00:16:37
    additional degree of field of view
  • 00:16:40
    increase feels like it could be
  • 00:16:42
    meaningful and at 50° I feel like that's
  • 00:16:45
    acceptable but I'm going to want more
  • 00:16:47
    and that's why the little time I had
  • 00:16:49
    with the one Pros with that 57 degree
  • 00:16:52
    field of view did feel like a big change
  • 00:16:56
    that one also has a brighter display at
  • 00:16:59
    700 nits versus 600 knits on the ones
  • 00:17:02
    here uh although it's slightly heavier
  • 00:17:05
    at 87 G versus 84 G here both of those
  • 00:17:08
    being about 10 gram heavier than the 72
  • 00:17:11
    G of the original airs now wearing these
  • 00:17:14
    didn't feel like the weight was much of
  • 00:17:16
    a difference what's more important is
  • 00:17:18
    the fit of these glasses to your face
  • 00:17:21
    because of the way the bird bats Optics
  • 00:17:22
    work where your eyes are positioned
  • 00:17:25
    relative to the displays is really
  • 00:17:27
    important so you can see the full image
  • 00:17:29
    and that's why they've always included
  • 00:17:30
    these different couple of nose uh
  • 00:17:33
    fittings so they perfectly rest on
  • 00:17:35
    different shaped noses and they're
  • 00:17:36
    adjustments like on the arms that you
  • 00:17:38
    can tilt the angles up and down then
  • 00:17:40
    bend them outward so that you can get
  • 00:17:42
    that perfect fit along with prescription
  • 00:17:44
    inserts so you can get the most Clarity
  • 00:17:46
    on these glasses now something they're
  • 00:17:47
    also introducing on the one Pros is uh
  • 00:17:51
    different ipd settings and it's actually
  • 00:17:54
    completely two different models uh you
  • 00:17:56
    choose a narrower ipd or a higher ipd
  • 00:18:00
    that's best suited for you and then
  • 00:18:02
    there will be software options to
  • 00:18:04
    fine-tune those on the standard ones and
  • 00:18:06
    not the one Pros you can still access
  • 00:18:08
    software ipd adjustment um but it'll be
  • 00:18:11
    interesting if you do have special ipd
  • 00:18:14
    needs how the new hardware will be able
  • 00:18:16
    to accommodate for your face shape and
  • 00:18:18
    size it's also interesting that they put
  • 00:18:20
    all the hardware controls now on the
  • 00:18:23
    arms themselves and it's actually a lot
  • 00:18:26
    to handle uh there's a shortcut button
  • 00:18:29
    on the top there's an adjustment button
  • 00:18:32
    that by default is brightness and
  • 00:18:34
    there's this spatial button that's the
  • 00:18:36
    red button that changes between the
  • 00:18:37
    modes that you want this have this
  • 00:18:39
    whether it's an anchor or a follow mode
  • 00:18:41
    double tapping or long pressing the
  • 00:18:43
    buttons will have different
  • 00:18:45
    functionality and honestly it takes a
  • 00:18:47
    little bit of time getting used to it I
  • 00:18:48
    found it a little bit easier using the
  • 00:18:50
    nebula OS you know 3 degree Freedom
  • 00:18:54
    laser pointer that uh that I would use
  • 00:18:56
    in the beam Pro to adjust all those
  • 00:18:58
    settings like how far I want that dis
  • 00:18:59
    virtual display to be or how large I
  • 00:19:01
    want that display to be a little bit
  • 00:19:03
    clunky doing it with the buttons on the
  • 00:19:05
    glasses themselves uh right now with the
  • 00:19:08
    current software that I have I can't
  • 00:19:10
    access nebula OS if I plug the ones into
  • 00:19:13
    the beam Pro but xra is telling me that
  • 00:19:16
    by the time the glasses are out you will
  • 00:19:18
    be able to use nebula OS and get that
  • 00:19:22
    video playback on this device although
  • 00:19:24
    tracking and that low latency tracking
  • 00:19:26
    will still be handled on the glasses
  • 00:19:28
    themselves with the X1 chip you can also
  • 00:19:31
    use the buttons to activate something
  • 00:19:33
    like an ultra widescreen mode so instead
  • 00:19:36
    of telling the device this is a you know
  • 00:19:39
    1920x 1080 16x9 monitor you can tell
  • 00:19:42
    that it's a 32 by9 Ultra widescreen
  • 00:19:45
    monitor which was useful if you're
  • 00:19:47
    plugging this into a laptop uh there's
  • 00:19:49
    also a small picture and picture mode
  • 00:19:52
    where instead of having the image fill
  • 00:19:53
    your full field of view it's only
  • 00:19:55
    filling either the left or the right
  • 00:19:57
    side kind of putting the image right
  • 00:19:58
    right on the side so if you have this in
  • 00:20:01
    a full transparency mode and you don't
  • 00:20:03
    have the electrochromic dimming uh you
  • 00:20:05
    can still have your digital feed from
  • 00:20:07
    your phone like a social media feed on
  • 00:20:09
    the right side while using these
  • 00:20:11
    basically as sunglasses and that's
  • 00:20:14
    really question of whether these glasses
  • 00:20:17
    can work in a normal social environment
  • 00:20:20
    that was the whole promise of these exal
  • 00:20:23
    form factors and what I found is not
  • 00:20:26
    really even with improved it in the
  • 00:20:29
    opacity so that the world isn't as
  • 00:20:32
    dimmed even with the smaller form
  • 00:20:34
    factors this still feels like a special
  • 00:20:37
    use case where I'm using this more on
  • 00:20:39
    the couch or on a flight or on a train
  • 00:20:42
    maybe a car ride uh but not really when
  • 00:20:44
    I'm walking down the street and using
  • 00:20:46
    this for podcast like I would use you
  • 00:20:48
    know my Rayband metas at least not yet
  • 00:20:53
    uh there is also a new uh accessory port
  • 00:20:56
    on the bottom here they'll be selling a
  • 00:20:58
    single monocular camera accessory
  • 00:21:01
    that'll be able to shoot color video and
  • 00:21:03
    photos 12 megapixels uh but the most
  • 00:21:06
    interesting use case for that may be the
  • 00:21:08
    ability to record video or photos
  • 00:21:10
    combined with whatever display image you
  • 00:21:13
    have in the glasses so whenever they
  • 00:21:15
    turn on augmented reality features uh
  • 00:21:17
    you can actually share composited video
  • 00:21:20
    with what the glasses sees as well as
  • 00:21:23
    what you see which might make for
  • 00:21:25
    interesting or fun uh video to share on
  • 00:21:28
    social media again this is not a full
  • 00:21:32
    review of The X real ones CU we're still
  • 00:21:36
    working on pre-release hardware and
  • 00:21:38
    software and I do want to wait until I
