Unseen Reality XR Glasses Secures $1.2M in Successful Kickstarter

Unseen Reality took to Kickstarter last month to fund its monitor-replacing mixed reality glasses, URXR One. Now concluded, the campaign has officially garnered over $1.2 million.

URXR One aren’t birdbath-style AR glasses like you might have seen with Viture or Xreal, but rather a lightweight VR headset with passthrough video, similar to Quest, albeit one that isn’t a standalone device because it needs to physically tether to a laptop, mobile device, etc to work.

That said, URXR One essentially wants to be the slim and light display replacement you toss in a bag; the company has mostly positioned it for displaying traditional content, like flatscreen games, film, web browsing and spreadsheets.

Unseen Reality wrapped up their Kickstarter today, officially amassing $1,288,712. The campaign blasted past its initial $50,000 funding goal in an order of minutes when it launched August 4th.

Weighing in at 93g, URXR One is slim and light for two basic reasons: it has very thin pancake optics and it relies on external devices, eliminating the compute and battery bulk typical of standalone headsets. As it is, URXR connects to USB-C DisplayPort devices, such as laptops, phones, tablets, and gaming handhelds.

Besides the onboard spatial processing unit that handles 6DOF tracking, its built around mini pancake optics, which include dual 1.03-inch micro-OLED displays—2,448 x 2,064 resolution, ~36 pixels per degree, 90 Hz refresh rate, and a 90-degree diagonal field-of-view (FoV), measuring ~80 degrees horizontally by 56 degrees vertically.

At least for Kickstarter supporters, which nabbed URXR One at a special early backer price of $800, initially shipping targeted for mid-October 2026. It’s unclear when regular orders will ship, which are said to cost $900 MSRP.
