The Air are a stripped-down version of Nreal’s Light glasses.
Augmented reality company Nreal is launching its stripped-down Air glasses in the United States. The Nreal Air glasses,, are available on Amazon starting today for $379. The initially Android-exclusive glasses are also getting iPhone compatibility — but only with a $59 dongle. It’s the Chinese startup’s latest move into the global AR market as it races Apple, Meta, and other tech giants for the growing niche.
last year. They’re smaller and lighter than the Nreal Light — which look like a bulky pair of sunglasses — but come with significantly pared-back capabilities. Most notably, where the Light use outward-facing cameras to track movement in physical space, the Air glasses scrap the cameras and only track a user’s rotation. Their field of view is also a little narrower, at 46 degrees instead of 52, and Nreal promises they will consume 50 percent less power than their fuller-featured counterpart.
Nreal has focused mainly on 5G Android phone compatibility, but the Light already allow users to mirror the screens of laptops and officially unsupported Android phones, and the new adapter officially offers mirroring for iPhones. iOS devices still aren’t getting access to Nebula, a launcher that enables additional features, but they can stream Netflix, Hulu, and other apps onto the glasses through mirroring.
Especially on iOS with no Nebula support, however, the new Air glasses might be saddled with the same problems as the Light. Android is in a slightly better position — Nebula doesn’t officially support most popular streaming apps, but you can bookmark them in its AR browser, which means you’ll get some of the improved interface options. Nreal spokesperson Angela Lin also says the company hopes to announce new details about streaming app support next year.
Either way, the Nreal Air glasses are one of very few cheap-ish headsets on the market — so it’s a good opportunity to test their consumer appeal.
