XReal One Pro Optics and Its Connections to Ant-Reality and Google

Since starting this blog, I have been interested in AR optical designs that are different from others I have seen. When Xreal showed their Xreal One Pro at CES 2025, I was curious to know how it worked. As it turned out, the design was not as different as I had first thought. But the journey lead me to find some connections between Xreal's optical design and that of, Ant-Reality which was reportedly acquired by Google.

AR Roundtable Video Part 3: Meta’s Orion, Wristband, Apps, & Walled Garden

I divided the two-hour AR Roundtable into three parts, with this being the last and, I think, in some ways, the most interesting part. We discussed more of the motivations for Meta and Snap announcing these concept products. Brad shared some information he has heard about issues with Meta's EMG wristband control, and Jeri shared some of her past experiences with EMG-type control.
