Japan will be the first in the world to sell Nreal Air to the general public.

Nreal AirAnnounced in October 2021What was being done. It is an AR glass specialized for watching videos, and it looks like normal sunglasses. It is also characterized by its light weight of about 76g because it is a simple function without the camera function.

The image is displayed through the AR glass at 130 inches at 4 m and 201 inches at 6 m. In addition, a speaker is also mounted on the vine part, and it is explained that “the bass enhancement algorithm and noise canceling enhance the presence of entertainment as if you were in a virtual dedicated IMAX theater.”

It is not a stand-alone type, but is used by connecting to a smartphone via USB Type-C. Therefore, in order to use it, it is necessary to have a USB-C port and support Display Port (Alternate mode). However, as an accessory that enhances expandability, “Nreal Streaming Box” has also been released, and if you use this, you can use Nreal Air on smartphones that support Miracast.
