Overview
The Xreal 1S is the latest iteration of Xreal’s augmented‑reality eyewear, powered by the new X1 chip. It brings real‑time 2D‑to‑3D conversion to any content without the need for extra software, positioning itself as a versatile companion for both gaming and productivity.
Key Features
- First Xreal glasses to support true Real 3D via the X1 chip.
- Onboard 2D‑to‑3D conversion works with any video or app.
- 3DoF head tracking for immersive viewing.
- Optional Eye camera module adds 6DoF spatial anchoring and content capture.

Comfort & Design
Weighing just 82 grams, the Xreal 1S feels light on the face. Multiple nose‑piece options let users fine‑tune the fit for long‑term wear, making them suitable for extended gaming sessions or workdays.
Audio & Accessories
The built‑in speakers deliver clear sound, though volume can be low on noisy commutes. Pairing the glasses with earbuds solves this issue. The optional Eye camera module expands functionality with 6DoF tracking and virtual overlays.
Gaming Performance
When paired with a Nintendo Switch, the Xreal 1S upgrades the console’s output from 720p to 1200p in TV mode, delivering a sharper, more immersive experience. The same boost applies to Steam Deck titles, offering higher refresh rates and smoother gameplay.
Productivity Benefits
Ultra‑wide screen mode on laptops becomes a reality, allowing users to expand their workspace without a physical monitor. The 3DoF tracking lets you glance around while staying aware of your surroundings, a handy feature for multitasking.
Verdict
Overall, the Xreal 1S provides a compelling mix of real‑time 3D conversion, lightweight comfort, and useful gaming upgrades. While the built‑in audio may need supplementation in loud settings, the glasses excel as a portable AR solution for both entertainment and work.
