It announced its new 1S AR glasses and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/e\/846376\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Switch 2-ready Neo dock<\/a> that\u2019s also a battery \u2014 both of which are already available to buy. It\u2019s not done with the announcements yet, as it delivered a peek at an upcoming partnership with Asus that will yield a new set of ROG AR glasses made specifically for gamers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">In the one and only image that was shared with The Verge, the ROG Xreal R1 gaming glasses look like cyberpunk aviators. There\u2019s an LED strip on the stem to indicate\u2026 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\u2019s common in AR glasses today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">These glasses have micro-OLED panels running at 1080p resolution, and they\u2019ll attach to gadgets with a USB-C cable. 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\u2019s Neo only has USB-C, while Viture\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">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\u2019s $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\u2019s movements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The ROG Xreal R1 will launch in the first half of this year. The company hasn\u2019t yet shared a price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Xreal is having a big CES.
