The ROG XREAL R1 is a portable gaming monitor worn as glasses, with a 240Hz refresh rate and a 57-degree field of view. The set includes a ROG Control Dock that switches between HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB Type-C inputs. A hands-on demo with Monster Hunter Wilds showed the virtual display can be adjusted to feel like a 40-inch monitor two to three meters away, suitable for small rooms. The glasses also have an automatic dimming function that makes the display transparent when the user moves their head, allowing quick glances at a desk or phone without removing them.
XREAL also announced the Android XR-equipped XREAL AURA at the AWE exhibition in the US, hinting at further product developments. The ROG XREAL R1 pre-order period runs until July 13, with early bird bonuses including the XREAL Eye 6DoF camera module and a ROG KERIS II ACE mouse for the first 300 customers.
