Aura runs the complete Android XR platform: spatial apps, room-scale tracking, hand tracking, and on-device Gemini. Confirmed demos include immersive Google Maps, 180 and 360-degree YouTube, multitasking with floating windows, a WebXR painting app, and DisplayPort laptop connection with Gemini autospatialization, Xreal's method of converting flat content into 3D on the fly.
Xreal's Project Aura runs Google's Android XR platform, the same software layer powering Samsung's upcoming headset, with Qualcomm's Snapdragon inside and Gemini AI running directly on the device, no internet connection required. It tracks rooms, hands, and runs full spatial apps, which puts it closer to a lightweight Vision Pro competitor than a simple glasses accessory. Xreal's whole pitch has been that AR glasses don't have to be heavy, and Aura is where that hardware reputation meets a software platform for the first time.
