VITURE Pro XR/AR Glasses — 135" 120Hz 1000Nits UltraClarity Display, Harman Audio, Electrochromic Film, Smart Glasses for iPhone 16/15/Android/Mac/PC/Steam Deck/Gaming Consoles

Doing a review now that I’ve had the chance to use these when travelling. They are a superb gadget! Not cheap of course but you really do get what you pay for here. Lovely packaging and build quality as well.The screen size is really big - when you look towards the wall of your room when playing a movie, it is as if you were viewing a projected picture that fills the whole wall. I have a 100” cinema screen in my living room anyway and this ‘projects’ bigger than that. Is it better than holding your iPad screen in front of you? Absolutely! It’s on a pair of sunglasses, which is unreal. The picture stays with you wherever you look (you soon get used to that). The fully dark effect is really good, you won’t really watch any other way. You can see a bit of your surrounds below and above the glasses but that’s helpful actually. They are not fully immersive and they don’t need to be. The picture they present is really bright - I had to turn it down a notch or two. Great resolution and the eye adjustment thing works well for me as a specs wearer, haven’t needed any extra lens inserts.What can you watch with them? It was tricky to figure out at first but Prime and Apple TV are the least fussy, you can download stuff onto your phone and it will play (BUT…You need to do the downloads from Apple TV with your glasses connected to the phone so that it downloads the right version. Not sure if that’s the case with other services but I do all downloads while connected now just in case). Netflix does work but can stop at some point when it realises you have them connected; just restart movie with glasses unplugged, then plug back in. IPlayer will play on the glasses but also keeps playing on your phone screen as well. And of course anywhere that you can stream stuff, then everything works even easier. Works fine with a magnetic battery pack attached to your phone, worth taking one on flights as your phone is powering the glasses so it will use up your charge a bit.Sound - for airplane use I would suggest wireless earbuds. For AirPods it works best if you start it playing, then pop the earphones in and it just takes over the sound. For everyday use the inbuilt speakers are really good, so much so that I don’t bother using my AirPods as it’s just easier. I find I use them a lot more than I thought I would as they are fun to use and so good.There is a fun thing where you can view your own photos in 3d, amazing effect to see. You can also do some other stuff on the app but I find some of it a bit fiddly to use.But for watching movies in your own personal cinema on a pair of specs, these are incredible and for travel they are just so good.

Update 2.I have discovered that if you have a Samsung Phone that supports Dex, then these glasses work like a dream, I have the Microsoft folding keyboard and Arc mouse. And paired with the USB C adapter that lets you connect both the glasses and a power cable, you can have a desktop that you carry around with you, I am typing this while watching Bluestone 42 on Dex, while sitting on a train, with Galaxy buds pro and I cqannot describe how great it is. The whole kit would fit in a jacket or coat with fairly large pockets, Its just awesome.I have also discovered the various button presses on the arm of the glasses that allow you to switch from 2D to 3D mode, adjust the volume and brightness etc. All in all, I am now convincedUPDATEAfter upgrading the firmware, and disconnecting my M4 MacBook Pro from my Thunderbolt 5 dock and dual Apple studio displays it works and I’m impressed. Maybe not great as a replacement for my Studio displays but when I am travelling these will be excellent. I also opened the neckband and tried that and also the IPhone/USB C/Charger connector dongle and I am impressed. It’s also vital that you get the correct nose adapter (there’s a box in the glasses box .I still don’t think the interface is as intuitive as it should be but now i understand the different button pushes, I am getting to really enjoy them and watching spatial videos I have taken on my iPhone is worth the cost of admission.I really wanted to like these, but the issues I have had using these with an iPad Pro, iPhone 16 ProMax, S25 Ultra and a MacBook Pro M4 Pro. have made me hate them far more than I like them.1 The unboxing experience is top notch and made me feel the glasses would be very good indeed.2. Plugged into my Mac and downloaded the Spacewalker (Mac app from the future website), did a software/firmware update and then the glasses show as connected but nothing. My main aim for these is productivity and they fall at the first hurdle.Next I try with my iPhone , I get a picture but the software interface is completely unintuitive. and despite changing the nose bits hoping to get a full picture, I still could not see the bottom 20% of the screen.3. I load Netflix, enter my user ID and Password and, it's very good, I quit Netflix and come back later to discover its lost my credentials.4. The home screen shows news, but the whole human machine interface is slow counter intuitive that its more frustration than delight. Future, if you are reading this, look at devices like the original iPod for an idea of who a simple, but powerful interface can engage with users rather than the dogs dinner you currently have.5. Despite me really, really wanting to like these, I hate them, with a passion. So I am returning them.
