Viture Beast XR Glasses

XR glasses like the Viture Beast have been around for a few years now, but I always saw them as kind of a gimmick.

The Viture Beast XR glasses deliver the feeling of a gaming headset, but for your eyes. The 1200p combined display looks crisp, and the speakers embedded in the stems, or temples, are good enough that I don’t feel the need to dig out headphones to wear awkwardly on top of them. These glasses are actually comfortable to wear for more than 10 minutes, which is huge in a world where handheld gaming has blown up. XR glasses are glasses with little displays embedded behind each lens, which project a display right in front of your eyes. These glasses essentially trick you into thinking you’re looking at a much larger display than you are. Viture claims the Beast glasses simulate a 174-inch screen on its highest setting. The biggest benefit of the Viture Beast and other XR glasses has been plugging them into a handheld gaming PC like the Xbox Ally X, especially while traveling. Even at home, I’ve been using these glasses to watch TV or play games on the Xbox Ally X without having to stare at its small 7-inch screen for hours at a time. Viture’s The Beast glasses look like particularly thick sunglasses, with displays behind each lens. The front of the glasses has Viture’s ‘V’ logo in the top right corner, along with a camera in between the two lenses. The top of each lens houses the display, which tends to get warm while in use. The nosepad is interchangeable, with three different options for a better fit. The glasses use mirrors to project the display down to each eye, creating the effect of one giant monitor. Buttons on the temples control transparency and anchor mode.
