The Asus Micro-OLED AR gaming glasses might be the weirdest thing I've ever tested at CES, and that's saying something

The Asus ROG Xreal R1 AR sunglasses at CES 2026.

The Asus ROG Xreal Micro-OLED gaming glasses are... weird. This is the conclusion I've drawn after spending ten minutes with them at CES 2026, so take that as you will. However, it was enough time to realise that, while on paper they seem like they might be a good idea, in practice, it's... complicated.

The idea is, you get a virtual 177-inch monitor beamed in front of your eyeballs via a Micro-OLED display within the glasses, covering 95% of your vision with a 57-degree field of view of excellent gaming fidelity. Why have a massive screen on your wall, when you can have a tiny one that creates the same effect in a wearable form factor?
