One of the biggest surprises for me at CES this week is the collaboration between Asus and XREAL on a new set of high-end gaming glasses. The ROG XREAL R1 essentially puts a high-refresh-rate monitor on your face, giving you 240Hz, 1080p micro-OLED quality gaming you can take with you. As impressive as that sounds, my experience with other XR glasses really makes me wish this ambition was being channelled into a VR headset instead.
It wasn't all too long ago we were hearing rumblings about a new Asus VR headset that ran on Horizon OS, the same operating system as the Meta Quest 3 and 3S. As a VR lover, I was stoked. It's always felt to me like we need more options on the shelves, and an Asus visor that takes the efficient OS from Meta and tilts it more toward gaming specs is an exciting prospect.
