Viture's lightest smart glasses to date feature an impressive 146-inch screen right before your eyes.
New Viture Pro 2 XR glasses are lighter, slimmer, and more comfortable to wear.
Smart glasses appear to be an enticing concept at first glance. They allow you to have a large virtual screen in your bag, providing a big-screen experience without the need to carry a physical one. However, this often comes with the downside of wearing a heavy piece of technology on your face throughout a movie. Viture is addressing this challenge with its latest generation of smart glasses.
The Viture Pro 2 is now the lightest display glasses available from the brand. This new version weighs 63 grams and is priced at $299, while its frame is 16% thinner and 20% lighter than the original Viture Pro. The design has also been refined to enhance comfort during extended use.
The screens are brighter and more comfortable for your eyes.

With the introduction of what Viture calls UltraClarity 3.0, the Pro 2 features micro-OLED displays created by Sony that can reach a brightness of 1,600 nits. The improved curvature design aims to create a more natural-looking virtual screen and minimize eye strain. Tuning for gamma is also included for more precise color representation.
Individual diopter adjustments range from 0 to minus 5.00D for each eye. Viture indicates that some nearsighted users might not need additional prescription inserts, but this adjustment won't accommodate every vision prescription or condition.
The field of view has been expanded from 46 degrees to 50 degrees. The resolution remains at 1920 x 1080 per eye, with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Thus, while there is a relatively modest upgrade in display specifications, the primary focus of the Pro 2 is on comfort and improved fit.

These glasses are display-focused rather than fully integrated AI eyewear. Their birdbath optical system results in a bulkier frame compared to waveguide-based options, necessitating a wired USB-C connection. Viture is also launching a Mobile Dock Mini priced at $99, which weighs approximately 250 grams and is 34% smaller and 30% lighter than the previous dock, featuring a 10,000mAh battery.
This dock supports the Nintendo Switch 2 and includes a detachable magnetic adapter that can function as a standalone hub to connect the console to a TV or monitor. Both the Viture Pro 2 and Mobile Dock Mini are now available for $299 and $99, respectively. Purchasing both through Viture’s fifth-anniversary bundle brings the total to $378. This model also complements the brand’s Beast XR glasses, which provide an even larger display.

Recently, Meta's smart glasses have surged in popularity. Unlike the perception of wearable face technology from years ago, the Meta Ray-Ban glasses have improved not only their functionality but also their style. However, the social issues surrounding them remain.
Restaurants, pubs, private clubs, and theaters across the UK are implementing restrictions on Meta’s camera-equipped glasses due to concerns that patrons and staff could be filmed without their knowledge. This reaction closely mirrors the bans and public backlash that accompanied the introduction of Google Glass over a decade ago.

The Pixel Tag is expected to retail for €34.90 in Europe, as reported by Dealabs. In France, Apple charges €35 for a single AirTag, leaving Google with a slight price difference of just 10 cents. The tracker might be announced during Google's hardware event on August 12.
