Big screens usually have significant compromises: space and durability. The XREAL 1S takes an alternative route, transforming a cinema-quality experience into light glasses that can be used anywhere. The glasses are designed for games, movies, and everyday media. The device eliminates squinty smartphone screens and uncomfortable laptop screens with a personal, immersive display that feels much larger than its actual size.
This article explains the features of the XREAL 1S, how its real 3D(tm) system functions, and why the hardware options for display, tracking, and connectivity are essential for real-world usage.
What Is the XREAL 1S?

The XREAL1S glasses are designed to display a large virtual screen to the user. Instead of projecting content onto a television or a wall, the XREAL 1S creates a floating screen that moves with your head or stays on the ground when you need it to.
Developed through The XREAL, The 1S is based on lessons learned from One Series while pushing immersion further with 3D rendering in spatial space, faster refresh rates, and a more refined Industrial design.
A 500-Inch Screen You Can Carry
The most intriguing claim made by the XREAL1S is its 500-inch display. Although there isn’t a physical display, the screen size is determined by how close the virtual image fits within your field of view.
Key display specs include:
- High-Definition Resolution of 1200 pixels to provide clear text and clear images
- 53-degree fields of view (FOV) that are large enough to allow a cinematic experience without obstructing peripheral vision
- 120 Hz refresh while reducing motion blur, and increasing the responsiveness of fast-moving content
This results in a display that is more like a house theatre than a wearable gadget, particularly evident when watching movies or playing PC and console games.
REAL 3D(tm): Turning Flat Content Into Spatial Experiences
The most notable feature of the XREAL 1S is REAL 3D(tm), which is called the world’s most advanced on-glasses 3D technological advancement in spatial. Instead of requiring native 3D content, Real 3D(tm) can turn existing 2D games, films, and photographs into a fully immersive, spatially realistic experience.
It’s important because most media produced today is in 2D. Instead of waiting for special formats, 1S is the best option. 1S improves perception of depth and spatiality in real time, creating the illusion of depth and dimensionality that gives content a more realistic feel without a complicated setup.
Native 3DoF Spatial Anchoring
The XREAL 1S comes with built-in 3DoF (three degrees of freedom) spatial anchoring, which keeps the screen stationary while the head moves.
In real life, this refers to:
- You can put the screen in front of you when you are reclining
- The image doesn’t shift or shake during head movement
- Long-term viewing sessions are like a natural experience and are less exhausting
For extended productivity or gaming, this stability is a significant upgrade over a “screen-following” display.
Electrochromic Dimming for Any Environment
The lighting conditions can be the difference between good and bad AR experiences. To combat this, XREAL 1S utilises electrochromic Dimming, letting you instantly reduce the brightness of your lenses.
This serves two purposes:
- Improved contrast in bright environments like cafes or aeroplanes
- More immersive while playing games or watching films
Instead of relying on clip-on shades or other external accessories, Dimming is built into the lenses, making the setup simple and portable.
Powered by the X1 Chip
The heart of the gadget is an X1 chip, which is responsible for processing displays, tracking spatially, and controlling the system’s response. It is compact and efficient in power, and it also allows:
- Smooth 120 Hz visuals
- Low-latency head tracking
- Reliable REAL 3D(tm) processing
By keeping these functions on the device, XREAL1S does not rely on hardware outside the content source.
Seamless USB-C Plug-and-Play
Ease of use is an essential aspect of the overall design. With USB-C plug-and-play glasses, you can connect directly to compatible laptops, smartphones, tablets, and gaming devices.
There’s no lengthy calibration, nor software mazes to traverse. Connect the device to your glasses, wear them, and the screen pops up, perfect for travelling, remote work or gaming in a flurry.
Cobalt Blue Finish: Subtle but Distinctive
Beyond specs, beyond specs, beyond specs. XREAL 1S introduces a Cobalt Blue finish that gives the glasses a striking yet refined appearance. It doesn’t have the uber-modern design typical of AR devices; instead, it opts for something that feels contemporary, comfortable, wearable, and thoughtful.
As a device intended for use in public areas, the balance between style and elegance is more crucial than it appears.
XREAL 1S: Pricing and Availability
The XREAL 1S is available for purchase at $449, putting it in the middle of numerous high-end televisions and premium mixed-reality headsets. At this price, it is aimed at those who require immersive viewing without expensive equipment or dedicated rooms.
Who Is the XREAL 1S For?
This device is beautiful to:
- Gamers looking for an expansive, high-refresh display anywhere
- Film enthusiasts with a desire to experience a private cinema are looking for a private cinema experience
- Remote workers and travellers needing a portable big screen
- Tech-savvy users are interested in spatial computing with no complex
It’s not so much about replacing every screen you own as about getting rid of the most basic ones.
My Final Thoughts
The XREAL 1S reflects an overall shift in how monitors are evolving, moving from fixed in-room displays to personal, immersive experiences that move with us. Through the combination of a vast visual screen, real 3D(tm) enhancement, stable spatial anchoring, and convenient plug-and-play, this device is an appealing alternative to conventional TVs and monitors.
At $449, the benefit proposition isn’t just about the size of your screen; it’s about being able to adapt, absorb, and redefine the place where a big-screen experience can occur.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the XREAL1S require specific 3D content?
No. 3D(tm) is real. 3D(tm) can improve existing 2D games, films, and images without requiring third-party 3D format native to the.
2. What devices work with XREAL 1S?
All devices that support the USB-C video output format, including many laptops, smartphones, tablets, and gaming systems.
3. Does the 500-inch screen count as actually a display?
No. It’s an illusion of screen size created by an AR projector and the field of view. It’s not actually a real panel.
4. Can I make use of the XREAL1S in bright areas?
Yes. Electrochromic Dimming is a great way to retain contrast and create a sense of depth even in brightly lit spaces.
5. Does it monitor full-body movements?
The XREAL 1S supports 3DoF head tracking (rotation), not whole positional movement.
6. Does the refresh rate meet the requirements for gaming?
Yes. A 120-Hz refresh rate provides smooth motion and less blur in fast-paced games.
