Owlchemy Labs Announces Hyper Visor for XREAL Aura AR Glasses
Owlchemy Labs, the Google-owned studio behind Job Simulator, has revealed Hyper Visor, an arcade-style shooter that will launch for XREAL Aura. XREAL Aura is positioned as the first see-through AR glasses running Android XR, with models priced at $1,279 and $1,499. Owlchemy also plans to bring several earlier XR titles to the device, and Hyper Visor will sell for $1.99.
Owlchemy Labs, acquired by Google in 2017, will release Hyper Visor as a launch title for XREAL Aura. The see-through AR glasses run Android XR and come in two configurations: 256GB storage with 12GB RAM at $1,279, and 512GB with 16GB RAM at $1,499. Pre-orders are open, but shipping timing hasn't been announced.
The studio also plans to bring Job Simulator, Vacation Simulator, Dimensional Double Shift, and Inside [JOB] to the device. Hyper Visor costs $1.99 and is described as a more 2D-style arcade experience with eight levels, bosses, and hand-launched energy attacks. It will appear on Google Play Store, with the studio's VR titles also compatible with Samsung Galaxy XR.
The launch could make mixed reality feel less intimidating, since glasses-style hardware may appeal to people who avoid bulky headsets. Familiar titles and a low-cost game may help draw newcomers, while the $1,279-plus hardware could keep adoption limited to enthusiasts and professionals. If Android XR gains traction, developers and consumers may see more everyday AR experiences, though privacy and social norms around wearing such devices in shared spaces may shape how quickly that happens.
