Focused on displaying traditional content, like flatscreen games, film and spreadsheets, the MR glasses boast long-term user comfort thanks to 6DOF and 3DOF modes, the former of which is handled by a dual-camera SLAM tracking system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weighing in at 93g, URXR One is a pair of of lightweight mixed reality glasses built around mini pancake optics, which include dual 1.03-inch micro-OLED displays\u20142,448 x 2,064 resolution, ~36 pixels per degree, 90 Hz refresh rate, and a 90-degree diagonal field-of-view (FoV), measuring ~80 degrees horizontally by 56 degrees vertically.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: these aren\u2019t birdbath style AR display glasses, like those offered by Viture or Xreal, but rather essentially a VR headset with passthrough video (like Meta Quest) handled by an onboard Spatial Processing Unit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it kicks off next week, the campaign is slated offer URXR One at a special Kickstarter price of $800 ahead of its $900 MSRP, with shipping targeted for mid-October 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, Unseen Reality says the display can be resized from \u201claptop-sized to 200 inches,\u201d supporting both single and multiple virtual screens in either locked 3DOF, or \u2018pinned\u2019 spatial 6DOF mode.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/urxr.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-229083\"  \/>Courtesy Unseen Reality<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other features: user wear detection, ambient-light sensor, four forward-facing cameras, a six-axis IMU, and a four-microphone array. Custom prescription lens inserts are supported, and the IPD can be adjusted manually from 58 to 68 mm, the company says. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the glasses don\u2019t feature onboard compute, URXR connects to compatible USB-C DisplayPort devices, such as laptops, phones, tablets, and gaming handhelds. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While compatible laptops, tablets and handhelds like Steam Deck can generally power URXR One directly over USB-C, other devices, like smartphones require the optional URXR Power Hub ($69) for power and video pass-through\u2014a pocket-sized 10,000 mAh device capable of powering the glasses for three hours in addition to slow-charging the connected phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can get the full details over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/urxrone-glasses\/urxr-one-lightweight-spatial-display-glasses?ref=c9urn0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">URXR\u2019s Kickstarter campaign<\/a>, which goes live on August 4th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Unseen Reality announced its upcoming display-replacing XR glasses, URXR One, is set to launch a Kickstarter on August&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":838346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[49,48,61,260,261,262],"class_list":["post-838345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-virtual-reality","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology","tag-virtual-reality","tag-virtualreality","tag-vr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=838345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/838346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=838345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=838345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=838345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
