"That includes Xreal's Project Aura, plus previously announced glasses with Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker."
"The glasses, made in collaboration with Xreal, now feature a carrying case and a new design for their compute puck. Google was mum on the chip inside, aside from the fact that it's more powerful than the previous puck. The puck also has a fingerprint scanner, so you can unlock the device more easily. And in addition to a waist clip, there's now a lanyard so you can wear the puck around your neck, in case you'd like to channel peak Gadget Dad vibes."
"You won't look cool in these glasses, but the target audience for Project Aura isn't the average Joe in the same way that Meta's Ray-Ban glasses are. They're a starting point for XR diehards who want a more portable and discreet version of a headset. Case in point: navigating Aura's interface is nearly identical to the Galaxy XR's."
Project Aura consists of dark sunglasses designed as a middle ground between a full headset and lighter mixed-reality glasses. The glasses are made in collaboration with Xreal and include a carrying case and a redesigned compute puck. Google has not disclosed the specific chip, but it is described as more powerful than the previous puck. The compute puck adds a fingerprint scanner for easier unlocking and includes a waist clip plus a lanyard for wearing it around the neck. The interface navigation is nearly identical to the Galaxy XR, and the intended audience is XR diehards seeking a more portable, discreet starting point rather than mainstream consumers.
