Xreal has unveiled the xbx, a $299 pair of smart glasses designed to display content from phones, laptops, and gaming handhelds directly to the wearer's eyes.

The xbx connects wirelessly to multiple devices and projects their screens onto built-in displays. The glasses work with smartphones, computers, and portable gaming systems, allowing users to view content on a personal display without a separate monitor. Xreal positions the xbx as an accessible entry point to spatial computing and wearable displays. The $299 price point undercuts many competing AR and mixed reality headsets currently on the market. The device joins Xreal's existing lineup of display glasses and reflects growing interest in wearable screen technology among consumers and developers. The company has previously released AR glasses aimed at productivity and entertainment use cases. Availability and specific launch markets have not yet been announced.
