The Viture Pro AR/XR Glasses are display eyewear that connect to various devices with USB-C or with a few extra cables to anything with an HDMI support. The AR glasses can connect to stationary computers, laptops, game consoles, cell phones and more. You can take the Virture Pro glasses with you wherever you go and have access to a much larger screen virtually whether you are on a business trip, going on vacation or just taking a road trip.
135 inch Display and 120 Hz refresh rate
Wearing the Viture Pro AR smart glasses gives you an extra display right in front of you that nobody else sees. It’s like having a bigger private TV along with you wherever you go, but without acctually having to carry one.
The refresh rate is 120 Hz, but what does that exactly mean? The refresh rate of a display indicates how many times per second the screen updates with a new image. This is measured in Hertz (Hz). For instance, if your display has a refresh rate of 120Hz, it refreshes the image 120 times per second and 120Hz is a good refresh rate if you want to play video games using the Viture Pro.
Brightness
These AR glasses features dual 1080p micro-OLED panels with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels per panel (Full HD) and projecting at 4000 nits of brightness (1000 perceived) which is much brighter than most laptops or TV displays where the brightness level usually is around 300-500 nits, the screen appears super clear in any setting indoor and out. Along the side of the glasses on the temples there are two connected buttons that can either adjust the brightness of the display or the volume. The Viture Pro almost guarantees total privacy by blocking out 99,9 % of outside light.
Electrochromic Film
On the left temple there is a cool feature which allows the user to turn on and off the electrochromic dimming, this allows you to change the opacity of the display. This is extremely useful as it allows you to use the Viture Pro in different environments such as being in bright sunlight or indoors, previously you needed to use a plastic cover but you don’t need it anymore.
Focus adjustment and Comfort
There are two dials above each lens that allows you to adjust the focus for each eye individually. These dials let you fine-tune the focus for each eye, ranging from 0.0D to -5.0D, ensuring you achieve the sharpest possible image quality from the virtual displays.
The Viture Pro’s AR glasses are extremely lightweight and weigh 77 grams which makes them light on the face. They arrive with four different nosepads, including an empty one which is least comfortable but can improve visuals as it allows the glasses to sit lower on the face. The temples can’t be bent compared to some other AR glasses, this do make the Viture’s feel slightly more uncomfortable.
Connecting to Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck
A 13,000 mA power battery Pro Dock is must have if you enjoy using these glasses. Without the battery you must connect the glasses directly to USB-C devices but the dock expands the functionality to HDMI devices.
Connecting your glasses to an Xbox or Playstation is super easy. You just connect the Pro Dock via HDMI to your gaming console, then you connect your glasses to the dock to be able to view your games. If you enjoy playing multiplayer games with someone you can connect a second pair of glasses directly to the dock. If you are using a Nintendo Switch don’t worry, the dock also let’s you connect the Nintendo Switch via USB-C, Connecting the Switch directly to the Viture glasses will not work.

If you own a Steam Deck you can directly connect the Viture XR Pro glasses via the one cable that has the magnetic attachment. Basically anything that supports USB-C video out, like the Steam Deck will work directly.
The speakers in the Viture Pro’s are located on the temples. The sound quality is good, but still not comparable with high quality headphones.
My conclusion
The Viture Pro AR glasses are pretty cool to own, having this accessory is like taking a giant step into the future. These are a versatile pair of glasses that can serve different purposes. The displays are excellent, the colors are bright and vibrant, sound quality is great and they’re comfortable.
The RayNeo Air 2 XR offers a 201 inch handsfree display that you can carry with you anywhere you go. The glasses are designed and created by TCL and their improved model, the Air 2’s have overcome the blurry edges issue which was present in their predecessors. The top notch quality Sony micro OLED screens combined with 120 Hz refresh rate provides optimal gaming experience.
201 inches screen and Key features
All of the optics and processing power is handled on the top part above each eye. The two Sony micro OLED screens are positioned facing down mirroring of the front panel allowing us to see a 201 inches display with 1080p resolution. The front visors look stylish and are see through, they can’t be removed. The cable that comes with the AR glasses is connected on the right side temple tip. On the bottom of the temples you can control the brightness and volume, and the two openings are the speakers which are pointed towards the ears. Pressing and holding the volume rocker activates “whisper mode,” utilizing acoustic phase cancellation to maintain privacy.
The RayNeo Air 2’s have a proximity sensor between the eyes on the inside of the glasses, this will allow the AR glasses to know if you are wearing them. If the glasses are taken off they will know this and shut off. You can easilty switch between 60 Hz and 120 Hz by pressing and holding volume up or volume down.
Compatibility
There is nothing worse than buying a device that you can’t utilize due compatiblity issues. Don’t worry, I will try to be very specific in this part to save you time and headache.
Phones
The RayNeo Air 2’s XR glasses are widely compatible because they’re supporting devices that use DisplayPort over USB-C. This includes Iphone 15/15 Pro/15 Pro Max/16, MacBook, Ipad. The reason it is not compatible with versions before Iphone 15 is because those Iphones have a lightning port.
For Android users extra accessories might be required for phones that don’t have a DP (display port) output. For Samsung users the USB-C DP support goes back all the way to Galaxy 9+ released in 2018.
If you are using a device that does not support video out via USB-C then you need to purchase a Miracast adapter from TCL USB-C – > Lightning port.
Xbox and Playstation
To be able to use the RayNeo Air 2’s XR glasses with your Xbox or Playstation you must purchase a HDMI – > USB-C adapter that also has a Power Input! Some adapters do not offer this. Click here to show the adapter I’m referring to.
- Connect the adapters HDMI cable to the gaming console to obtain video and audio.
- Connect the AR glasses to the adapter using the USB-C cable.
- Last but not least, we need power. Connect a the power cable to the adapters power input. You can use your phones USB-C charger.
Miracast Adapter
The Miracast adapter is a portable device which is necessary to have if your device does not support video out such as older phones or the Nintendo Switch. The portable adapter will both power the glasses and allow you to connect other devices. In this case, no power in is necessary since the Miracast acts as a battery and can be charged seperately but if you want to be able to charge it while using the adapter it also has a power in on the top. Click here to go to Miracast Adapter by TCL.
Joydock and Nintendo Switch
They JoyDock was made for Nintendo Switch users who want to game using AR glasses and not need to worry about power drainage. The JoyDock is connected to your Nintendo Switch and offers to built in batteries (2 x 5000 mAh). The JoyDock slides on to your Nintendo Switch and is simple to use. If you primarily want to use AR glasses with a Nintendo Switch you can purchase both products in a bundle offered by RayNeo, Click here to check it out.
RayNeo App
RayNeo have their own app and it can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or App Store. You will need to go into settings on your cell phone and allow all permissions to enable AR with your glasses. You can easily change the AR glasses configurations in the app such as refresh rate.
The application also has a lot of different third party apps and games which you can utilize to experience more augmented reality. The application also allows to have multiple windows open, panorama view and more. If you purchase the RayNeo’s the application is a must have, it not only allows to configure your AR glasses, but also takes the user to experience AR on a higher level.
Final words
The experience of using these AR glasses was quite awesome, especially using the app as it allowed me to experiment with AR using different applications, once I started navigating I didn’t want to stop. In terms of comfort I think the Viture Pro’s were slightly more comfortable despite both weighing almost the same, but they are also slightly more expensive. In terms of compatiblity it took a while to exactly grasp what I needed, but the same is for all AR glasses.
I believe in the near future we will see lots of upgrades in the world of AR with endless possibilities. Playing games on a 201 inces display was awesome, especially because I could lay comfortably in my bed, sit in an airplane or hang out in my hotel room and still have all the things I needed to experience a cool gaming session.
Xreal (formerly known as Nreal) released the Air Pro 2’s in November 2023 are portable and lightweight AR spectacles and they have been significantly improved over the first generation. The screens inside have two Sony 0.55 Micro OLED displays capable of 1920 x 1080p at 120 Hz per second. Adding the Beam to it will provide additional features as it will allow you to utilize smooth follow and body anchor mode.
RayBan look alike
The glasses look pretty similar to RayBan’s Wayfarer sunglasses (also now available as smart glasses). The Xreals look have a unisex design to them, meaning they can look good on everyone. These AR glasses are available in the color dark grey and the difference can be felt compared to their predecessors the Xreal Air in terms of different features such as design, comfort, functionality and more.
The most comfortable AR glasses?
The Xreal Air Pro 2’s are the most comfortable AR glasses I’ve worn. The weight distribution is perfect and it makes the glasses feel very light on the face, even after a couple of hours wearing them. The AR glasses weigh 75 grams and with the flexibility in the temples they don’t put lot of pressure on the sides of the head.
Xreal also includes three different height nose pads that are easily mounted and can be ordered seperately if lost or broken. This is really good as everyones face have different features making these AR glasses more versatile in terms of fit.
3 levels of Electrochromic dimming
I don’t know any other AR glasses that offer three different levels of electrochromic dimming. The Xreal Air Pro 2’s do offer electrochromic film and having three levels of it is pretty nice. The electrochromic film allows the user to block out unnecessary light which allows for a clearer and better AR experience. Those who do not want to completely shut off from the real world will have the possibility to allow some light in.
The brightness in the Xreal Air 2 Pro’s are 500 nits perceived.
Sound quality and privacy
The sound on AR glasses are played through the speakers which are located in the temples and pointed towards the ears. AR glasses or smart glasses can’t provide a sound experience better than good quality headphones, we’re simply not their yet in terms of technology. The audio is still good though and they do leak minor sound so people close to you will slightly hear your audio if you sit in a quiet train or bus.
Connecting the Xreal Air Pro 2's
You can connect the glasses with the cable that follows to any device supporting USB-C video out to mirror the screen. If you’re going to use the Xreals to play Playstation or Xbox you will need an HDMI – > USB-C adapter.
Mac users can download an software called Nebula to be able to work with three different displays simultaneously, with this software you can easily optimize productivity.
Xreal accessory: The Beam Pro
The Beam Pro is an accessory to the Xreal Air 2 Pro’s which can be purchased seperately. It looks similar to a phone and is called a “Phone-Like AR companion” with many pre-installed apps.
To use the Xreal Beam Pro you simply plug in the AR glasses to it. At the bottom there are two ports, one for charging the beam and a second one for pairing with the Xreal glasses. Once connected, the Beam pro will switch to controller mode. By holding the device in your hand and pointing in virtual space you can tap on the screen. There is a red button located on the side which allows the user to switch between two different modes when connected.
Body anchor mode: The screen will be locked in one position.
Smooth follow: The screen follows you wherever you look.
There is a rear dual 50 megapixel camera on the back of the device.
Seamless design but expensive
In terms of AR glasses, the Xreal Air 2 Pro’s are pretty decent. They are seamless and look just like any regular pair of sunglasses. With only one cable connected I was able to experience the world of augmented reality by watching content on a massive display anywhere I go. The Beam Pro is good to have if you want to multi task and be able to have the screen following you while for example cleaning or cooking, you can watch movies while lowering the opacity and still seeing the real world in front of you. It can be difficult to purchase the Beam Pro if you have a tight budget, the device is currently seling for 199 USD and with the glasses it will be a total of 598 USD.
Rokid who specializes in AR tech were one of the first companies to release AR glasses as we know it today. The AR Joy were their first released AR glasses and they have a retro futuristic look to them. Currently sells for around 429 USD but they do run offers time to time. You can also use these AR glasses just like regular sunglasses and see through the lenses.
Design and comfort
In terms of the form factor and the design these glasses do a pretty good job. The glasses are light, but not as light as regular sun glasses. These AR glasses weigh about 75 grams which is quite common. Over long periods of use these glasses dont tend to hurt the face if the nose pads are lined up correctly, so make sure you adjust them correctly (2 included in the box).
Handles and buttons
The handles are a bit flexible, making the glasses easy to put on no matter what shape head that you may have. On the right handle you will find the volume adjustment and menu button. At the end of each handle there are speakers pointed towards down the ears. On the right hand temple of the glasses there is a small sensor located to know when you are wearing the glasses so that the glasses will only be ON when you are wearing them.
Focus adjustment
A huge advantage point for these AR glasses is that you don’t need any prescription lenses. The focal point can be adjusted using the small dials above each lens to get the perfect clarity, out of all the AR glasses we’ve tested it’s only also the Viture Pro on first place that also offers this feature.
Connecting and Compatibility
To use the glasses you need a power source connected because the AR glasses don’t have a built in battery. There is a included USB-C cable supports video transfer and power. The cable can easily be connected to your phone and thanks to the angle of the cable where it connects to the glasses it rests perfectly behind the ear.
Don't have USB-C video out?
f your device doesn’t support USB-C you need to purchase a lightning – > USB-C adapter. Check Amazon search results for “Lightning to USB-C converter” here.
Rokid Mini charging connector
The AR glasses can easily drain your phones battery, but don’t worry. Rokid have created a solution for this where you connect a mini charging converter to your device USB-C input. Click here to check their product.
360 inch display
Inside of each lens is a Sony micro-oled display capable of full HD up to 120 Hz. When you have the glasses ON you’re seeing a 360″ display from 10 meters away. The screen is flicker free and Rokid AR Joy also has a nice privacy feature where 90% of the light is blocked out from the outside, so people can’t see what you’re looking at.
Gaming
If you want to get a much more immersive experience playing games then you should invest in a pair of AR glasses. The screen is much larger and it just offers another type of experience playing with 120 Hz, it’s almost like sitting in a movie theatre playing video games. No headphones are needed, speakers are already installed in the AR glasses offering good audio.
Rokid Station
If you purchase the Rokid AR Joy Packyou get a Rokid Station included which is the worlds first Google certified Android TV device that is perfectly designed to work as a companion with the AR glasses. Inside the Rokid Station there is a 5000 mA battery that support powering the battery up to 5 hours.
Having this device is like having a ultra-compact tv box. Once connected, you’ll have quick access to the entire Android TV interface through the lenses. Manouvering the Rokid Station is easy, there are buttons on the controller with logos making it super easy to use. Click here to check out the Rokid Station.
Conclusion
The Rokid AR Joy Pack was one of the first AR glasses to enter the market and now they are available to be purchased on Amazon for around 428 USD. Since they’re release date the AR market have increased rapidly offering more advanced hardware and software for a better sound, display, design etc, that is why the Rokid AR Joy Pack is on fourth place in our test.
