History and Development
VITURE developed the One as a competitor to glasses like the Nreal Air and Rokid Air, differentiating through features like electrochromic dimming and 3DoF tracking capabilities. The product was released in 2023 and was later followed by the Viture One Lite and premium Viture Pro models.[1]
Design and Hardware
Display
The VITURE One uses dual Micro-OLED displays with impressive specifications:
- 1920×1080 resolution per eye (Full HD)
- 55 PPD pixel density—higher than Xreal Air, Oculus Quest 2, and HP Reverb G2
- No perceivable screen door effect
- 1800 nits peak brightness
- 5000:1 contrast ratio
- Deep OLED blacks
- 43° diagonal field of view
- Virtual 120-inch screen at 8-10 feet distance
- 60 Hz refresh rate[2]
The displays use birdbath optics, reflecting the image through a series of prisms rather than pointing directly at the eyes.
Electrochromic Lens Technology
A key differentiating feature is the electrochromic glass technology:
- Lenses darken with the press of a button
- Creates more immersive viewing experience
- No separate lens shade accessories needed
- Can adjust between transparent and darkened states[3]
Build Quality
- Weight: 78 grams
- Plastic frame with aluminum-reinforced hinges
- Less flimsy arm movement compared to competitors
- Removable nose piece with three size options
Audio
The audio system was developed in collaboration with Harman Kardon:
- Tuned speaker grills on each arm
- Quality audio output
- Open-ear design for ambient awareness
Connectivity
The VITURE One requires a source device via USB-C:
- Proprietary magnetic pogo pin connector on glasses end
- No internal processor or storage
- Compatible with phones, computers, gaming handhelds
- SpaceWalker companion app for enhanced features
Features
3DoF Head Tracking
Unlike simpler display glasses, the VITURE One includes 3 degrees of freedom head tracking, enabling:

Native 3D Video Support
Built-in support for 3D video content without additional software.
Myopia Adjustment
Diopter adjustment dials allow nearsighted users within a certain range to use the glasses without prescription lenses.
