I tried XREAL’s Project Aura at Google I/O 2026 and here are my first impressions on the 70° field of view, the puck, Android XR, and when you can actually get a pair.
► Get the Insta360 X5 (code: CasandChary) – there’s a promo running right now: https://store.insta360.com/campaign/creator-week?utm_term=CasandChary

Thanks to XREAL for covering our trip to Google I/O so we could make this coverage happen. They had no review direction or approval. All opinions are my own.
