This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, May 27th, 2026.

We tell you what you need to know, give you important context, and try to help each other understand all this crazy stuff.

Today, XREEL comes out with budget AR glasses and Duck. Dock Go benefits from

that AI backlash. Good for DuckDocco. I'm Tom Merritt. And I'm Sarah Lane. Let's start with

what you need to know with the big story. So XREL getting into budget display glasses. They have

$500, $600, $600 glasses that you plug into your device by USBC.

Now they will have cheaper ones called X by XREL or XBX for short.

But don't say X-B-X-B-X-F for short. But don't say X-B-B-X.

Right, exactly.

Which just recently made everything capital letters.

So way to go, X-Rail.

Yeah.

I don't know about the naming convention.

The first model in that series is the A-01 has a slightly smaller field of view than the more expensive versions, like for the one pro for an example, 50 degree field of view,

but it has a brighter screen.

Micro-Oled displays with 1,600 nit brightness, 1080p, 120 frames per second.

So you're going to get a nice looking picture.

They also support HDR 10 for video, which is similar to the budget glasses from TCL, the Rayneo Air 4 Pro.

They weigh 62 grams, so they're lighter than the more expensive ones too.

So your wallet and your glasses will both be lighter.

Also has anti-shake so that, you know, when you're bouncing around.

And in fact, Tom's hardware said they tested him out on a plane and they were really solid.
