Aura, AR Glasses And Use Cases That Actually Fit The Enterprise Amir Khorram, XREAL From AWE 2026

Get a front row seat to the conversations about AI, AR smartglasses, and the future of enterprise technology from Augmented World Expo 2026. XREAL Aura is AR built on Android — and it might be the first XR device I have seen designed for people who aren't already XR believers. I sat down with Amir Khorram, Head of Enterprise at XREAL, live at AWE 2026 in Long Beach. We talked about what it actually takes to build a full AR device with Google and Qualcomm for real-world deployment — not just demo floors. Aura runs on Android XR with the Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform. It ships with MDM integration, kiosk mode, and custom app stores for enterprise use. For healthcare and financial services with strict data-handling requirements, Android already has the track record: hundreds of millions of devices deployed globally. Seventy percent of the XR industry already works on Android. Aura meets enterprise buyers where they already are. We also talked about what the XR industry needs to do next — invest seriously in the global developer community, not just launch hardware. Developers in Germany, schools in Latin America, healthcare deployments in Asia. The community is bigger than the press coverage suggests, and it needs more than acknowledgment.
