Read previewEarlier this month, Chinese startup XReal unveiled the Air 2 Ultra, the company's latest augmented reality glasses that blend a virtual world with the user's physical surroundings. The startup says they'll be an "affordable alternative" to rivals like the Apple Vision Pro. Unlike Apple's Vision Pro, Xu says XReal has no intentions to build a fully immersive virtual reality feature into its glasses. Yet, when it comes to its AR capabilities, Xu says his company's is half a decade ahead of Apple's. "I think we're three to five years ahead of them in AR," Chi said in regards to Apple.

The Xreal Air 2 glasses start at $399 and will be launched in the U.S., U.K. and selected European markets.

Worldwide shipments of VR headsets and augmented reality devices dropped by more than 12% to 9.6 million in 2022, according to CCS Insight. For Vision Pro to be successful, it needs to replace personal computers, said Nicole Peng, senior vice president, mobility, at Canalys. She said that's the value proposition Vision Pro has set up, which is different from what Xreal or Meta offer. "Nreal, Xreal glasses still need to connect with a PC or a phone," Peng said. Apple has not released such figures for Vision Pro.
