"In the one and only image that was shared with The Verge, the ROG Xreal R1 gaming glasses look like cyberpunk aviators. There's an LED strip on the stem to indicate... something. Perhaps battery life, or something previously unquantifiable, like leetness. Either way, the stems seem quite a bit thicker than those on the 1S, and whatever tech the companies are cramming inside may be necessary to allow for their marquee feature: a 240Hz refresh rate. These are apparently the first to double the normal 120Hz refresh rate that's common in AR glasses today."
"Included with this set of glasses is the ROG Control Dock that features two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 port, making it useful for both PC and console gamers (Xreal's Neo only has USB-C, while Viture's competing Pro Mobile Dock has HDMI and USB-C, but not DisplayPort). This Asus dock will let you toggle between video sources with a single button."
"Xreal boasts a 57-degree field of view for this model, which is on the high end of what you can get in most AR glasses right now (it matches what the company's $649 One Pro offer). It claims that they can cover 95 percent of the viewable space with a massive 171-inch screen placed at the virtual equivalent of 4 meters in front of you. Like other recent Xreal models, the ROG Xreal R1 have three degrees of freedom, allowing you to anchor the screen in place virtually or let it follow your head's movements."
Xreal and Asus will release the ROG Xreal R1 gaming AR glasses targeting gamers, featuring micro-OLED panels at 1080p and a 240Hz refresh rate. The glasses connect via USB-C and include an ROG Control Dock with two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 port, plus a source-toggle button for PC and console use. The ROG Xreal R1 offers a 57-degree field of view, 95 percent viewable coverage with a virtual 171-inch screen at four meters, and three degrees of freedom for screen anchoring or head-following. The glasses are due in the first half of the year with pricing unannounced. Xreal also released 1S AR glasses and a Switch 2-ready Neo dock that doubles as a battery.
