Asus and Xreal Partner to Create Enhanced Display Glasses for Gaming Handhelds

These eyewear devices provide a 171-inch display and a refresh rate reaching 240Hz. Asus and Xreal are introducing the ROG Xreal R1 AR gaming glasses, tailored for gaming handhelds, PCs, and consoles. These eyewear support a plug-and-play USB-C connection with the ROG Ally and are widely compatible with HDMI and DisplayPort devices through the ROG Control Dock. They can deliver a 171-inch virtual display at refresh rates of up to 240Hz, featuring a 2ms motion-to-photon latency. The ROG Xreal R1 AR incorporates 240Hz micro-OLED 1080p screens, making them the first gaming eyewear to achieve these standards. They can create a 171-inch virtual screen from approximately 13 feet away, boasting a 57-degree field-of-view. The glasses include an ROG Control Dock for compatibility with a range of devices, such as gaming PCs, handhelds, consoles, and Android smartphones. Optimized for Asus’ products, the eyewear utilizes USB-C for a direct connection to mobile devices like the Asus ROG Ally, providing a “plug-and-play” experience with “no setup necessary.” The ROG Xreal R1 weighs 91 grams and has electrochromatic lenses. Bose delivers “precision-tuned spatial sound” for audio output. The ROG Xreal R1 is projected to be available worldwide in the first half of the year, with pricing and availability details still to be disclosed.
