What does the XREAL Aura's compute puck do?

The Aura uses a dual-chip, split-compute design. The tethered puck supplies the main horsepower -- XREAL's spec page names the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon Reality Elite platform -- runs the Android XR software, and houses the battery, while the XREAL X1S spatial coprocessor inside the glasses handles low-latency spatial display and tracking. XREAL says the split keeps performance, thermals, and battery weight out of the frame you wear. Source: XREAL ↗

Do you need the compute puck to use the XREAL Aura?

Yes. The Aura is not a standalone headset: the glasses tether to the compute puck over USB-C, and the puck carries the processor, the Android XR platform, and the battery that power the experience. The puck also accepts DisplayPort input from a PC, laptop, or handheld console. Source: XREAL ↗
