An X1S chip runs the glasses while a Snapdragon runs the puck

What to know

Xreal's Project Aura splits its computing between two chips. Xreal's own X1S chip sits in the glasses, and Xreal says it is 25% faster than the original X1.

A Qualcomm Snapdragon Reality Elite chip sits in a small box called a puck, which you keep in your pocket. The puck also holds the battery, which keeps most of the heat and computing off your face.
