"I've been testing three pairs of smart glasses that represent three different philosophies about what wearable displays should be. The RayNeo Air 3s Pro bets on brightness and affordability. The XREAL 1S focuses on polished spatial computing with a dedicated embedded chip. And the Viture Beast promises the widest field of view on the market with next-level features on the horizon."
"It includes built-in 3DoF tracking via its VisionPair system, a front-facing camera for future 6DoF capabilities, a built-in microphone, and the most granular light control with nine levels of electrochromic dimming for the outer lenses. On paper, it should be the clear winner. However, it ships with significant features that will be added in future firmware updates. The advertised 1200p resolution at 120Hz is currently disabled, leaving them with 1080p at 60Hz until Viture releases an update."
Three different smart-glasses philosophies are represented: RayNeo Air 3s Pro emphasizes brightness and affordability, XREAL 1S emphasizes polished spatial computing with a dedicated embedded chip, and Viture Beast targets the widest field of view and peak brightness. All models connect via USB-C to phones, laptops, or gaming handhelds and act as wearable personal monitors rather than standalone XR headsets. Viture Beast offers a 58-degree FOV, up to 1,250-nit brightness, built-in 3DoF tracking, a front camera for future 6DoF, and nine levels of electrochromic dimming, but key features like 1200p/120Hz and 6DoF remain pending firmware updates.
