How to watch 3D movies on Xreal Air 2

To watch 3D movies on the Xreal Air 2 AR glasses, here’s a guide on how to set up the content on your device and optimize it for viewing:

Download Your 3D Movies

Xreal Air 2 supports common 3D formats like SBS (Side-by-Side) 3D. 

• Download the 3D movies files directly to a compatible device (smartphone, laptop, or tablet) or to a storage solution that can interface with the Xreal Air 2.

The resolution of the glasses is 3840x1080 pixels, so we recommend watching a 3D movie in this format. Many films on the site have the FSBS 3840x1080 format.

• Ensure your device has enough storage space, as 3D movie files can be quite large.

Connect the Xreal Air 2

To watch the downloaded movies on your Xreal Air 2, you can use any of the following options:

Connect Directly via HDMI

• If you have an Xreal Beam accessory or a compatible device that supports HDMI output, connect the Xreal Air 2 via an HDMI cable.
• This setup allows you to mirror or extend your device’s display onto the AR glasses, which is helpful for laptops or consoles with HDMI output.

Using the Xreal App on a Smartphone

• Install the Nebula or Xreal app on a compatible Android device (the app may not be available on iOS).
• Transfer the 3D movie files to your phone. Open the app, and you should be able to access and play these files directly on the Xreal Air 2.

Streaming from a PC

• If you’re using a PC, you can stream your movie to the Xreal Air 2 using an app like VLC Media Player.
• Connect the Xreal Air 2 via HDMI (with Xreal Beam) to extend the PC’s display onto the AR glasses.
• Set VLC to play in full-screen mode, and load your 3D movie file.
• If you have a Mac, Xreal have created a special player for viewing Spatial Cinema (it's a test player at the time of writing this guide)

Configuring 3D Mode

Once your movie is playing on the device and mirrored or extended to the Xreal Air 2:

• Open the Settings on your Xreal device.
• Look for a 3D Mode option and set it to either Side-by-Side (SBS), matching the format of your 3D movie.
• To switch your XREAL Air glasses to 3D mode,
  press and hold the brightness '+' button.
• This setting will make sure that your movie displays correctly in 3D.

Tips for an Enhanced Experience

• Battery Management: Using the Xreal Beam or other accessories can help extend battery life for longer viewing sessions.
• Audio: Use wireless earbuds or a connected audio device for better sound, as the Xreal Air 2 does not have built-in audio.
  
  

This setup should get you ready to enjoy 3D movies comfortably on your Xreal Air 2!
