Smart Glasses Split Into Two Camps: Displays vs. Spatial Computers

XREAL's a01, released May 2026 at roughly $300, is a tethered OLED wearable monitor — dual 1080p panels, 1,600 nits, no spatial computing. It sidesteps platform ambitions like Meta Orion and Snap Spectacles. The category is bifurcating: full spatial computers versus purpose-built wearable displays at a fraction of the cost.
