You can easily pin virtual app windows to walls, for example, restore the size and shape of a Remote Desktop session window, and you can even ask Android XR to convert <em>All<\/em> From 2D content to 3D.<\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"elk-58f96d04-9fb2-4bb0-a9b4-9e2e14943828-2\">It&#8217;s this last feature that really caught my attention, as it feels very similar to what Xreal and The Witcher have done. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/wearables\/xreal-1s-vs-viture-beast-hands-on\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/wearables\/xreal-1s-vs-viture-beast-hands-on\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/wearables\/xreal-1s-vs-viture-beast-hands-on\">On their latest smart glasses. The main difference here is that Android XR will do this at the system level, potentially allowing greater quality and compatibility than Xreal and Witcher&#8217;s &#8220;simpler&#8221; solutions. This rings true when it works, and that last part is the worst part of the experience so far.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"article-continues-below block py-2 text-sm\">Article continues below <default:svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"inline-block w-2.5 h-2.5 ml-2\" fill=\"currentColor\" preserveaspectratio=\"xMidYMid meet\" viewbox=\"0 0 1000 1000\"><default:path d=\"M1000 100L500 900 0 100h1000z\"\/><\/default:svg><\/span><\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"&#10;            flex&#10;            after:content-('') after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-(0.7rem) after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-(#ccc)&#10;            before:content-('') before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-(0.7rem) before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-(#ccc)&#10;            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-bold&#10;        \"><\/p>\n<p>            you may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Samsung Galaxy XR\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-widget-type=\"review\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-f56a1ea7-6377-41ad-bce8-628a1e232852\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"auto-spatilization-feels-like-magic-3\">Auto spatialization feels like magic<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-f106a930-5205-491b-9b76-0df9a035f67b\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:2048px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX.jpg\" alt=\"Demonstration of the Auto Spatialization feature using Minecraft on the Galaxy XR\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SzqqYn38zBdpUa9uzCGUHX.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich\/Android Central)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-5abad278-4c0d-479f-a5cc-e2889cbf97e7\">Take a look at the image above and let me know what you see. Since I can&#8217;t hear you, I assume you&#8217;re saying Minecraft, which would be correct. In fact, Minecraft is running in a virtual window, pinned to my wall via the Galaxy XR headset.<\/p>\n<p>But even beyond that, games are being localized automatically by the underlying Android XR operating system running the Galaxy XR. In short, this means that the birch tree in front looks physically closer to me than the oak trees in the background. You might say, &#8220;Well, oh, Nick,&#8221; but that&#8217;s because you don&#8217;t fully understand what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>With Auto Spatialization, Android XR takes depth information in any app on the system and cleverly places pixels &#8220;ahead&#8221; or &#8220;behind&#8221; it to let me see depth. The OS uses a clever AI agent that understands objects and other similar things, which then transforms the 2D image into a completely 3D one. Since you&#8217;re only looking at the 2D image above, there&#8217;s no way to properly see (and therefore understand) what&#8217;s actually happening. Even a video will not suffice.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-2f194b92-fff9-4d50-b825-b490bf6d738a\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:2048px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX.jpg\" alt=\"Demonstration of the Auto Spatialization feature using a YouTube video on the Galaxy XR\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/VVKNxKG256VHhPdUYojBFX.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich\/Android Central)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-8304fcbe-43c1-4d19-abb5-d36162b163a1\">Similarly, this YouTube video looks as if it was filmed with a proper 3D camera because of the same feature. It&#8217;s an effect that works better for some apps than others, but it&#8217;s implemented at the system level, and it&#8217;s a true game-changer for this new feature.

For example, when I was playing Minecraft above, I would occasionally see the window crack between the 2D and 3D versions of the game, and it became incredibly noticeable as soon as that happened.<\/p>\n<p>The YouTube app was also very inconsistent about which videos it wanted to make 3D and which it wanted to leave as 2D. I couldn&#8217;t understand why, and that&#8217;s the real disappointment.

As I said earlier, I noticed at times that this feature didn&#8217;t work at all, or kept coming and going, even when I was playing games or watching videos.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why Real3D technology still remains the better choice on Xreal&#8217;s latest Xreal One series of glasses. The Xreal One, Xreal 1S, and Xreal One Pro use the X1 chipset on each pair of glasses to enable Real3D <em>Everything<\/em> In 3D content. The feature is either on or off, and there is no configuration to deal with it. It just works, and you can even adjust the 3D strength within the glasses menu!<\/p>\n<p>The downside of Xreal&#8217;s implementation is that <em>Everything<\/em> There is 3D, and it looks awkward when opening menus or other content that doesn&#8217;t translate well into 3D space. I like to assign Real3D to the shortcut key at the top of the Xreal glasses to help make it a convenient toggle.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-fc797add-0b33-49ed-9ea1-b225fb688179\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:2048px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.35%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi.jpg\" alt=\"Comparing the Xreal 1S and Viture Beast hardware with prescription lenses installed on each pair of glasses\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kkXxaRSdjzM3yzZg9dBsBi.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich\/Android Central)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-3c53f5b0-51c3-40f8-9a52-7b2f7554d4a3\">I think Xreal will surpass its technology once Google and Samsung get the auto spatialization feature to work more consistently. galaxy<\/p>\n<p>An added bonus is also that Android doesn&#8217;t limit the XR 3D feature to a specific framerate, whereas Xreal&#8217;s implementation is currently capped at 30FPS. This makes Xreal&#8217;s technology less ideal for games but fine for most videos.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you have a pair of Galaxy XR or Xreal One glasses, watching 2D content transform into 3D content is an absolutely magical feeling. This is one of those AI implementations that makes a lot of sense, and it feels like living in the future when the content we play and watch makes it feel like we&#8217;re actually in the middle of it all.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-collectionwidget-495ff103d974c85ac3cecebb9558381b\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"product-container horizontal-product-container\">\n<div class=\"product-block-row\">\n<div class=\"featured_product_block featured_block_horizontal\" data-id=\"e20a42ad-0ad6-4365-9188-2cc7273127cd\" id=\"elk-e20a42ad-0ad6-4365-9188-2cc7273127cd\">\n<div class=\"product-image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y.jpg\" alt=\"Official render of the Xreal 1S in blue\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sbiBrNA5usVUsLwH6JBh3Y.jpg\" class=\"featured_image\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"featured_product_details_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"subtitle__description\">\n<aside data-block-layout=\"horizontal\" data-block-type=\"featured-product\" data-model-brand=\"Xreal\" data-model-name=\"Xreal 1S\" data-name=\"Horizontal Product Block merchantlink widget\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-widget-type=\"merchantlink\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p>The Xreal 1S is pushing the boundaries of the definition of smart glasses.
