XR glasses – glasses that project a virtual screen that no one else can see in front of you – are a kind of gadget that are both really cool and potentially super practical, but few people actually own. A major reason for that is cost. The technology isn’t cheap, and a good pair could run you hundreds of dollars. Fortunately, some of the most popular XR glass brands are hosting Amazon Prime Day sales with steep discounts. One of the best known brands is Viture.
Viture’s two most popular models are on sale with discounts anywhere between 20% and 33% off. They include Viture’s flagship Beast glasses, which are designed for gaming and movie watching, and the Luma series, which is intended for productivity use. All glasses come with a free Viture × 8BitDo Ultimate 2C wireless PC gaming controller. Just make sure to add it to the same order as your glasses.

The Viture XR glasses create a “room-filling” virtual display for your portable gaming handheld or console that’s perfect for gaming on the road or away from your TV. Both models, however, serve different purposes.

The Beast is considered the best pair of XR glasses for gaming and movies for a couple of major reasons. They use Sony’s highly-touted Micro OLED panels with 1920×1200 resolution per eye, which simulates a 4K resolution on a big virtual screen. And the Beast can project a screen that’s the equivalent of 174 inches. Integrated Vision 3DoF allows you to pin a screen in place in mid-air. The flat prism lenses feature an immersive 58-degree FOV, native 120Hz refresh rate, and 1,200-nit peak brightness.
Other features include 9-level dimming and transparency modes, integrated Harman Audio open-ear speakers, realtime 2D-to-3D conversion, and 70mm IPD adjustment. Its aluminum-magnesium alloy frame weighs 88 grams.
IGN’s Jackie Thomas reviewed these glasses and rated them positively with a few qualifications, commenting that “the Viture Beast XR glasses are a great way to bring a giant gaming monitor with you wherever you go, even if fiddly controls and blurry text stop them from being a full-time display contender.”
The Viture Luma Are the Productivity Glasses of Choice
The Luma comes in three variants: Standard, Pro, and Ultra. If you’re looking for glasses that offer maximum productivity, you’ll want to splurge on the Luma Ultra. This is the only model with full 6DoF head-tracking and hand-tracking. It’s also the brightest at 1,500nits. If you want some tracking but don’t need the bells and whistles, the Luma Pro will save you some money and still offer 3DoF tracking. Finally, if you don’t need any sort of tracking (for example, you’re just using a mouse and keyboard, gamepad, or remote), then the standard Luma XR offers a great value by omitting the tracking features.
Aside from the Ultra’s increased brightness, all three glasses are equipped with the same Sony Micro-OLED panels with 1200p resolution per eye, and can project up to a 152″ virtual screen. The Luma glasses are actually sharper than the Beast for two reasons. First, the Lumas use Birdbath lenses that offers better edge-to-edge clarity with a more forgiving eyebox (aka the “sweet spot”). Second, the Luma’s smaller FOV means pixel density is higher, so text is sharper. A smaller FOV is less immersive, but a sharper image is more important for productivity work.
