Nreal, a glasses-type display, has announced that it will release a new model "Nreal Air" from NTT Docomo and KDDI on March 4th. The manufacturer's suggested retail price is 49,800 yen, but docomo is accepting reservations for 39,800 yen and au is accepting reservations for 39,799 yen. In addition, Japan will be the world's first general sale of Nreal Air.

Nreal Air was announced in October 2021. These AR glasses are specialized for watching videos, and look very similar to normal sunglasses. It is also characterized by its light weight of 79g because it has a simple function without camera functions.

Correction (2021/02/15 18:00): When it first appeared, it was supposed to weigh about 76g, but it was actually 79g. We apologize and will correct it.

The image is displayed through the AR glasses at 130 inches at 4m and 201 inches at 6m. A speaker is also installed in the temple part, and it is explained that ``Bass enhancement algorithm and noise cancellation enhance the realism of entertainment as if you were in a virtual dedicated IMAX theater.''

It is not a stand-alone type, but is used by connecting to a smartphone via USB Type-C. Therefore, in order to use it, it is necessary to have a USB-C port and support Display Port (Alternate mode). However, as an accessory that enhances expandability, the "Nreal Streaming Box" has also been released, and if you use this, you can use Nreal Air on smartphones that support Miracast.

Connect Nreal Air and Nreal Streaming Box with USB. By connecting your smartphone to the Nreal Streaming Box wirelessly (Miracast), you can mirror the content on your smartphone to Nreal Air.
