# Foldable Mixed-Reality Glasses The Compact Nreal Light Glasses are Easy to Wear and Use By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-06-02 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nreal-light References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/nreal-light-headset-news/) & [nreal.ai](https://www.nreal.ai/) Unlike many smart glasses and virtual reality headsets that are bulky, the Nreal Light sets itself apart as an ultra-compact pair of mixed-reality glasses that offer both virtual and augmented reality experiences. Notably, the design of Nreal Light is comparable to a pair of sunglasses, especially as the style boasts foldable temples—a feature that's easy to take for granted, yet it has never been seen before in mixed-reality glasses. While smart glasses are meant to be worn all the time, these mixed-reality glasses are only meant to be worn for certain tech experiences. To keep its design lightweight and sleek, the glasses are connected to a puck-like product that houses its components and battery. The Nreal Light glasses are also paired with a remote for interacting with mixed-reality interfaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ultra-compact Mixed-reality Glasses:** The foldable design of Nreal Light presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the field of mixed-reality glasses by offering a more compact and portable option for users. - **Virtual and Augmented Reality Experiences:** The Nreal Light glasses provide both virtual and augmented reality experiences, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in the entertainment and gaming industries by offering immersive and interactive technologies. - **Integration of Wearable Tech:** By connecting the Nreal Light glasses to a puck-like product and providing a remote for interaction, there is potential for disruptive innovation in the wearable tech industry by seamlessly integrating mixed-reality experiences into everyday devices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mixed-reality Glasses:** The foldable design of Nreal Light presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the mixed-reality glasses industry by reimagining the form factor and enhancing portability. - **Entertainment:** The virtual and augmented reality capabilities of Nreal Light offer disruptive innovation opportunities in the entertainment industry by revolutionizing how consumers engage with games, movies, and other digital content. - **Wearable Tech:** The integration of Nreal Light with wearable tech components opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the wearable tech industry by expanding the functionalities and applications of smart devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultralight Wire-Free AR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inmo-air2.md) - [Ultra-Lightweight VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meganex.md) - [Developer-Targeted AR Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xreal-light.md) - [Lightweight Smart AR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-ar-glass.md) - [Ultra-Lightweight AI-Powered AR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-ar-glasses.md) - [Spatial Computing Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-lite.md) - [Lightweight Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-feature-colorful-ar-ai-glasses.md) - [Compact AR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectacles-gen-5.md) - [Hybrid Experience VR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xr-glasses-concept.md)
