Unfortunately, the FHD (1,920 x 1,080) restriction of older AR glasses remains, as does the relatively narrow 57-degree field of view (FoV) and 3 degrees of freedom (DoF). Nonetheless, the ROG Xreal R1 has a few advantages over other AR glasses in its corner. For one, the ROG Xreal R1 offers a 240 Hz refresh rate across its micro OLED displays rather than the 120 Hz peak of contemporary AR glasses.
Additionally the ROG Xreal R1 features Bose-tuned speakers, with speaker quality being a shortcoming of many AR glasses. Moreover, Asus advertises its glasses with the ROG Control Dock, an accessory that bridges the gap between the ROG Xreal R1 and devices like a PC via DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 ports. Currently, Asus hopes to launch the ROG Xreal R1 and ROG Control Dock before the summer. Pricing remains a mystery at this stage, as do full technical specifications.
