ASUS Republic of Gamers has announced the ROG XREAL R1, the world’s first 240Hz micro-OLED FHD (1920 x 1080) gaming glasses, featuring the ROG Control Dock for extensive connectivity and compatibility with PCs and consoles.
The ROG XREAL R1 AR offers a full 57° expanded view, 3 Degrees of Freedom, electrochromic tinting technology, and Sound by Bose technology for an immersive audio experience. Created in partnership with XREAL, the gaming glasses transmit a spatial display that can be worn and experienced on the go. Standard consumer augmented reality (AR) glasses offer a field of view between 40 to 57 degrees, but the ROG XREAL R1’s offer more features, including 3 levels of adjustable transparency.
Compatible with PCs, consoles, and ROG Ally
The ROG XREAL R1 integrates seamlessly within the ROG ecosystem to offer desktop-level versatility in a lightweight, wearable form. Powered by the ROG Control Dock, the R1 provides extensive connectivity through DisplayPort™ 1.4 and two HDMI® 2.0 ports to allow gamers to switch between their PC or console with a single click. The R1 can also connect directly to the ROG Ally handheld console via USB-C® to give the wearer an up to 171-inch virtual battlefield for incredible immersion (over 4 metres).
This connection is fully optimised for plug-and-play with the Ally, thus zero setup is required. Users can still access full touchscreen controls on the Ally for effortless and intuitive control. The wearer can make the virtual screen larger or smaller, and farther or closer, with a press of button. The ROG XREAL R1 weighs just 91 grams and is designed to deliver large-screen viewing experiences anywhere, even when on the move.
Supersmooth visuals
With the ROG XREAL R1, the wearer can enjoy a 171-inch virtual screen at 4 metres for up to 57° wider field of view, covering 95% of the focused viewing area. In addition, an up to 240Hz refresh rate and 3ms motion-to-photon latency ensure “buttery-smooth” visuals for fluid, highly responsive gaming experiences with no motion blur and jittering.
Using Anchor mode in native 3 DoF (Degrees of Freedom) gives players the ability to place the virtual screen anywhere in the physical world, or centered on the wearer.
Adaptive transparency and high-quality audio
Featuring electrochromic lens technology, the ROG XREAL R1 intelligently adapts to changing light conditions and automatically adjusts lens transparency. When enabled, the lenses become more transparent when the user looks away from the anchored screen, and tints when the user looks at the screen again. The lenses offer three levels of electrochromic dimming so the wearer can manually select appropriate levels to suit varying light conditions. This smart, user-friendly design ensures clear and comfortable visibility in any environment, from bright daylight to dimly-lit rooms.
Sound by Bose technology delivers immersive audio to further enhance gaming experiences, creating a rich three-dimensional soundstage for deeper immersion. Every detail, such as subtle footsteps or distant explosions, is rendered with lifelike clarity and spatial accuracy, giving players heightened awareness to sense the action around them and react instantly.
