New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
If you’re hoping to catch the future early, you should check out these XReal One AR smart glasses. They’re on sale for $449, down from $569.00. This is the lowest price they’ve ever been on sale on Amazon.
If you’re not familiar: XReal Ones are augmented-reality display glasses. They’re compatible with any device with USB-C video, and when you slip ’em on, it’s like looking at bright, clear 147″ high-def monitor. Plus, the built-in G1 chip gives you 3DOF augmented reality, so you can anchor your virtual screen into real space.
I have a pair of the XReal One Pro version of these glasses, and I highly recommend them, whether you want to have a second screen for productivity, play games in a new way, or just have the best entertainment experience possible on an airplane. I recently spent a day with them on, using them to replace every screen I look at, and it was like living in a science fiction movie.
XReal has also lowered the price of its Beam Pro device by 20%. This optional “spacial computing companion” powers XReal glasses, adds a 3D camera, gives you enhanced controls, and improves the augmented reality experience.
