URXR One is a pair of lightweight spatial display AR Glasses developed by Unseen Reality. It connects to a host device over USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode (laptop, Mac, phone, or handheld) and provides 6DoF tracking, hand-gesture control, and video see-through passthrough in a 93-gram frame.[1] Unlike most display glasses in its class, which are limited to 3DoF rotational tracking or reach 6DoF only through a paid hardware accessory, the URXR One includes 6DoF with no extra hardware: no external compute puck, no base stations, and no add-on accessory. It is activated through the free URXR Connect companion app, with the tracking itself computed on the glasses' own chip.[1] It is priced at US$899 (US$799 through its Kickstarter campaign) and is expected to ship in Fall 2026.[1]

Design and Hardware

Optics and Display

The URXR One uses dual 1.03-inch Micro-OLED panels with pancake optics, providing a native resolution of 2,448 × 2,064 pixels per eye across a 90° field of view at a 90 Hz refresh rate.[1] The manufacturer does not publish an official pixels-per-degree (PPD) figure; derived from resolution and field of view, the figure is approximately 36 PPD.[1]

Passthrough

The URXR One uses video see-through (VST) rather than the optical see-through or electrochromic dimming used by most display glasses in its class. Outward-facing cameras feed a live view of the surroundings into the displays at 2,328 × 1,728 per eye at 90 fps, with end-to-end latency under 10 ms. The processing runs on the glasses' own chip.[1] The displays can also be turned off entirely for a clear view through the lenses.[1]

Tracking

3DoF works in Direct mode with no software at all. 6DoF is activated through the URXR Connect companion app, while the tracking itself is computed on the glasses' own chip, which keeps latency very low. No external puck, base stations, or paid hardware add-on is required.[1] 3DoF tracks head rotation from the IMU, while 6DoF adds positional tracking via dual-eye SLAM combined with a 1,000 Hz IMU, with reported drift under 1 cm.[1] Hand-gesture control is supported as a standard input method.[1]

Ergonomics and Build

The URXR One weighs 93 grams. It has no internal battery and no built-in speakers, drawing power from the connected host device and relying on Bluetooth headphones for audio.[1]

Software and Compatibility

The URXR One operates in two modes.[1] Direct mode is plug-and-play and mirrors a single large screen from any device with a USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode video output. Companion mode adds multiple anchored virtual monitors, 6DoF, hand tracking and other spatial features, and requires the URXR Connect application, available for Windows and macOS first, with iOS and Android support following in November 2026. Companion mode does not support handhelds such as the Steam Deck or ROG Ally, which are limited to Direct mode. Driving the glasses from a phone requires the Power Bank accessory (US$69).[1]

Availability and Pricing

The URXR One is priced at US$899 at retail, with a US$799 tier through its Kickstarter campaign. Shipping is expected in Fall 2026.[1]
