Unreal developer Epic Games sues smart glasses maker Nreal

Chinese augmented reality headset company Nreal is being sued by Epic Games, developer of Fortnite and Unreal Engine.

If you hadn’t guessed already, the squabble is over the name Nreal, which Epic Games argues is deliberately similar to its own Unreal (thanks, The Verge).

The two companies have been warring over the name for years, though this latest legal challenge from Epic appears to have been sparked by an Nreal boast it had “big news” – seemingly, that its Nreal smartglasses were being prepped for US launch later this year. I guess that’s one way of throwing shades.
