ASUS and XREAL have joined forces to revolutionize gaming with the ROG XREAL R1 AR smartglasses, which boast a pair of dual micro-OLED displays offering unparalleled visual experience. The two models are built on top of the existing XREAL One Pro but offer a significant upgrade in terms of refresh rate. While most smart glasses typically max out at 120Hz, the ROG XREAL R1s can reach a staggering 240Hz.
This impressive upgrade is made possible by high-performance hardware capable of delivering smooth motion and crisp visuals. The 1080p resolution per eye provides clear text and UI elements, while the adjustable electrochromic lenses allow users to tailor their viewing experience to various environments. Three degrees of freedom (DOF) enable users to pin or track virtual screens with ease.
The ROG Control Dock is another notable feature that allows users to seamlessly switch between multiple systems, including gaming handhelds like the ROG Ally X and console PC connections via USB-C. However, its size may be a drawback for those needing to carry it in tight spaces.
One minor criticism is the relatively limited field of view (FOV) at 57 degrees, which might limit some users' virtual screen creation capabilities. Nevertheless, the R1s still manage to deliver a massive 171-inch virtual screen at four meters away.
As for pricing and availability, ASUS and XREAL have not yet announced official details; however, it is hoped that they will remain competitively priced, possibly similar to the current XREAL One Pro price of $649.

! 240Hz is insane for gaming and watching vids. The fact that they have dual micro-OLED displays is just mind blown 
. The idea that you can switch between systems with the ROG Control Dock is genius 
. My only concern is that it might be a bit bulky and hard to carry around 
. But I guess that's a small price to pay for this level of tech 
. Fingers crossed they'll release soon so we can get our hands on them! 
I'm stoked about the ROG XREAL R1 AR smartglasses! The 240Hz refresh rate is insane 
and the dual micro-OLED displays sound mind-blowing 
. I can already imagine myself gaming on the go with crisp visuals and smooth motion 
. The adjustable electrochromic lenses are a great feature, too - it's like having a built-in sunshade for when you're outside 
. The only thing holding me back is the price 
... I hope ASUS and XREAL can make it affordable without sacrificing performance 
. 171-inch virtual screen at four meters away? That's just crazy talk 
! 240Hz refresh rate? That's like, whoa! Can you imagine gaming on a virtual screen that feels super responsive? And those dual micro-OLED displays sound insane 
. And don't even get me started on how annoying it'll be when they're always trying to sell you virtual screens to buy more stuff 
. Mark my words, these things are gonna be a fad and everyone's gonna end up regretting their purchase 
also, whats up with the adjustable lenses? is it like, magic or something? 
also, can u watch vids on these things or is that just for gaming? 
ASUS & XREAL r like game changers w/ these AR techs. i mean the DOF is so sick, can imagine doin gaming sessions w/ virtual screens all around u 
cant wait 2 c these at launch! 
I mean, 240Hz refresh rate? That's insane! You'll be able to play games and watch vids without any lag or blur. And the fact that you can customize the lenses for different environments is pretty cool too 
. But I do wish they'd worked out some of the size issues with the dock - it's a bit bulky, right? 
I'm keeping an eye on these prices tho, hoping they stay competitive. $649 is a bit steep for me, but if this thing delivers, it'll be worth it 
. What's the actual hardware and software setup that makes this happen? Anyone got some inside info on this one?
240Hz is lit but honestly, are we really gonna wear these things for more than an hour at a time? 
Also, 171-inch virtual screen at four meters away sounds like a sweet setup for gamers who wanna immerse themselves in another level of mediocrity. 
The three degrees of freedom thingy is so cool too - I love how it lets me pin or track virtual screens anywhere! 
Fingers crossed on the pricing tho - $649 seems pretty reasonable for this level of tech! 
Still, 171-inch virtual screen at four meters away? Mind blown!
