XGIMI expects to start shipping projectors in December 2026, with fixed ALR screens following in January 2027 and XGIMI Ascend floor-rising screens in February 2027.

Customers from the $50 reservation campaign retain an additional $200 cash back benefit, making their net prices $2,199 for AURA 3 Max and $1,999 for AURA 3 Pro. XGIMI asks those customers to match their Kickstarter email to their reservation email so it can match the discount and refund correctly.
