I was exited about these when were announced at CES, but at this price, this is a big NO. Viture and xreal are providing way more at a more razonable price.

BuchiI totally agree. I was just about to ask why choose this over Viture or Xreal which seem to be better value. I understand Asus being a household brand but I don't think that matters with this product at the moment.

lijebaleyWell, I bought a Viture due to the built-in diopter adjustment (I can bring the video screen into focus) and the accelerometer that allows the glasses to anchor the picture in place so I can turn my head to look at the corners of the screen. I use mine to play with my Steam Deck in bed, and I’m looking forward to getting a new phone with USB-C soon 😂
However, as a glasses wearer with myopia (near-sightedness) that can’t wear contacts, even if the Viture lets me see the video in focus, it can’t correct my vision to see the real world in focus. I actually just bought lenses TODAY at my workplace to make the prescription inserts so that I CAN see everything as clear as glasses 😆. And the prescription lens inserts are TINY, when I cut them tomorrow I’m going to have to use a special mount for lenses smaller than a child’s frame 🤣
One advantage these Asus XR glasses have is the PD (Pupil Distance) adjustment. The Vitures don’t have that. You might not need prescription glasses, or you might wear contacts that you can wear with XR Glasses, but everyone has pupils. That can help your comfort, so you don’t feel like you have to cross your eyes or see double vision, it can really help prevent headaches.
Still, I’d have to hear about more compelling reasons to pick the Asus here over the Viture.
