They offer a massive 70-degree field of view, the biggest of any Xreal glasses, and have plenty of nifty-sounding XR capabilities. Some media members, including Mashable alum Ray Wong writing for Gizmodo, got to try Project Aura out and gave us a decent idea of what to expect when the glasses launch later this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mashable 101 Fan Fave:<\/strong> Vote for your favorite creator today!<\/p>\n<p>The first thing to know is that these are more advanced than the Meta Ray-Ban glasses that have been en vogue for a while now, in the sense that they offer a visual display inside the glasses, rather than relying entirely on audio cues from an AI voice assistant. Project Aura actually occupies an interesting middle ground between the Ray-Bans and something like Apple&#8217;s Vision Pro headset, in the sense that it comes with a small computing puck that is attached to the glasses via a wire. According to Gizmodo&#8217;s preview, you can wear the puck around your neck via an attached lanyard.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Xreal has focused on augmented reality glasses, which project a virtual display into the world around you. With Project Aura, Xreal is moving into new territory \u2014 the Android XR platform.<\/p>\n<p>\n            <span class=\"text-gradient-fuchsia-secondary\">Mashable Light Speed<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"font-bold text-primary-400\">SEE ALSO:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>            <span class=\"ml-1\">Google I\/O: Every new feature coming to Chrome, including two AI detection tools<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Like a Vision Pro, Project Aura makes use of hand tracking to interact with augmented reality elements in the display. Unfortunately, there&#8217;s no eye tracking, which is definitely a compromise compared to a full headset.
