Why it matters
The AURA's price and pre-order terms put XREAL's Android XR headset against a market where the hardware, not the app library, is now the purchase decision.

The AURA splits into video glasses with three cameras and a compute pack that runs Android XR, joined by a USB Type-C cable and powered by the pack's battery. That design is why the headset can run Android XR apps, Android apps, and video from a connected PC or game console. Hand tracking covers most input, and the top of the compute pack works as a touchpad for apps that need it. Google's Gemini answers to voice and can search around an object traced with a finger. A hands-on found Google's own apps, YouTube in particular, well suited to the display, while third-party apps still have issues.
