Asus has hit the Consumer Electronics Show show floor with a brand-new set of Extended Reality glasses. Developed in partnership with Xreal, the Asus ROG Xreal R1 packs an impressive amount of technology into a slim frame for your face, allowing you to stream video directly to your eyes via a USB-C connection. Internally, the Asus ROG Xreal R1 features 240Hz micro-OLED 1080p lenses, and it comes with an ROG Control Dock for HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity.
In the one and only image that was shared with The Verge, the ROG Xreal R1 gaming glasses look like cyberpunk aviators. There's an LED strip on the stem to indicate... 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's common in AR glasses today.
