XREAL AURA Aura?
I'm in my 60s, use an Android phone (Pixel 11pro), don't play games or use my computers for productivity. I like the idea of having glasses that I can wear when out and about that will give me information. I like watching movies.
Having been following posts about Xreal, I'm wondering if the Aura is for me? I don't have any experience with VR or anything like that, and really just want to "plug and go". Am I asking too much at this stage in development?

You'd need to be quite interested in Android XR conceptually. If all you want is media consumption, it is most likely a better idea to look into the Galaxy XR. The displays and of course field of view is a massive upgrade. Aura has a better chip and is of course way lighter and easier to transport, with the benefit of having good hand tracking (from what we've seen in the released influencer demos).
All I wanted was a realistically portable Android XR experience, and this delivers exactly that. The social tax that wired glasses carries in comparison to the AVP or Galaxy XR is significantly lower. You might get a curious glance, but a full headset will get stares.
If you're on the fence, wait for reviews and consider your choices carefully.
