XREAL Launches AURA Glasses With Android XR for $1,099
XREAL launched $1,099 wired extended reality glasses running Android XR with a separate compute puck and Google’s Gemini AI assistant.

XREAL has introduced a new pair of wired extended reality glasses running Android XR, priced at $1,099. The system pairs the headset with a separate compute puck and integrates Google’s Gemini AI assistant.
The launch signals a shift in wearable AI toward practical, commercially available hardware. For professionals in fields such as IT, product development, marketing, and real estate, the device’s utility will depend on three factors: physical comfort during extended use, data privacy protections, and the range of applications available on the platform.
Hospitality, event operations, and creative teams evaluating on-site information tools will also be watching how the application ecosystem develops. The product’s wired design and separate compute unit place it in a category of devices where industrial and enterprise adoption often precedes broader consumer uptake.
