I Put on Meta and Xreal’s XR Glasses. Face Computers Are Finally Getting Good

Meta and Xreal’s latest XR glasses suggest face computers are moving from novelty to credible productivity and collaboration tools, with much better video quality, wearability, and multi-monitor workflows than earlier-generation headsets. For CIOs, the strategic implication is that mixed reality may soon become a practical endpoint category for knowledge work, field support, and immersive training—but only if IT can manage app compatibility, device administration, and privacy concerns. Organizations should start evaluating whether XR glasses fit into their broader collaboration and mobility strategy before competitors standardize on them.
