Xreal has carved a niche with stylish augmented reality (AR) glasses that project a virtual screen for watching movies or gaming in a personal giant cinema. However, unlike competitors like Apple's Vision Pro or Meta's Quest 3, Xreal glasses lack built-in software and content. While this allows for connecting various devices, it limits functionality.
Enter the Beam Pro, Xreal's solution to bridge this gap. This handheld device resembles a smartphone but functions more like a companion for your glasses. It runs a customized Android 14 version called NebulaOS, enabling app use on your AR display. The dual-lens camera on the back captures spatial and 3D videos for viewing on your Xreal glasses (or even Apple's Vision Pro, according to Xreal).
