The VITURE Pro (also known as VITURE Pro XR) is a pair of augmented reality smart glasses developed by VITURE, released in 2024. The glasses connect by cable to a phone, computer or handheld game console and show that device's picture on a virtual screen that VITURE compares to a 135-inch display.[1] VITURE calls the Pro its "full second generation" of products after the Viture One.[2]
Compared with the Viture One, the Pro has a larger and brighter picture from newer Sony micro-OLED panels, a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, and a darker electrochromic film that VITURE says blocks up to 99.5% of external light. It keeps the built-in myopia adjustment dials of the earlier model, and its audio was developed with Harman.[1][3] Tom's Guide gave it an Editor's Choice award and named it the best premium AR glasses in May 2024.[4] VITURE released a successor, the VITURE Pro 2, in August 2026.[5]
History and development
VITURE established itself in the AR glasses market with the Viture One and Viture One Lite; the company announced the One Lite on January 1, 2024.[2] The VITURE Pro is an upgrade of the One, introducing a much darker electrochromic film and a brighter, faster display, while keeping audio developed in partnership with Harman (creator of AudioEFX).[3][6] The glasses were released in 2024 and quickly earned recognition as one of the best premium AR glasses available.[4] Tom's Guide published its review on 26 May 2024, and VITURE later described the launch as taking place in "early summer" 2024.[4][2]
VITURE sold the glasses as part of what it called the VITURE Pro Collection, together with a redesigned Pro Mobile Dock and a game controller made with 8BitDo.[2] In 2024 reviews, Tom's Guide and Laptop Mag gave the list price of the glasses as US$549, and Tom's Guide noted that they were discounted to US$459 and that an early bundle with the dock and controller cost US$588.[4][7] VITURE's US store listed the glasses at US$459 in December 2024 and in June 2025.[1][8] In the Netherlands, TechRadar reported in June 2025 a recommended retail price of 569 euros, with VITURE's main products available there through Amazon.[9]
According to VITURE's review of its 2024, the Pro XR glasses quickly became the company's most popular product. The company launched the VITURE Pro Neckband at the end of 2024.[2]
In July 2025, VITURE announced the Luma series, including the Viture Luma, Viture Luma Pro and Viture Luma Ultra. The company said the Luma line was 50% sharper than the VITURE Pro, and the base Luma was priced at US$399, below the Pro.[10] On August 6, 2026, VITURE released the VITURE Pro 2 at US$299 as an evolution of the Pro design. VITURE's announcement calls the Pro "the model that made the category make sense to people" and states that the Pro 2 weighs 63 grams, is 20% lighter and 16% thinner than the original Pro, and raises display brightness from the original's 1,000 nits to 1,600 nits.[5]
Design and hardware
Display
The VITURE Pro features dual Sony micro-OLED displays delivering Full HD 1920×1080 resolution per eye. VITURE describes the picture as a 135-inch virtual screen, 15 inches larger than on its earlier glasses, with a peak panel brightness of 4000 nits and a perceived brightness of 1000 nits.[1][11] The field of view is 46°, up from 43° on the Viture One according to Gaming Nexus, which also reported that the perceived brightness rose from 500 nits on the One.[6] VITURE markets the display's edge-to-edge sharpness as "UltraClarity" and states that it has SGS A+ eye-care certification.[1]
The panels run at 60, 90 or 120 Hz; the Viture One supported only 60 Hz.[3] The glasses accept full side-by-side 3D video at 3840×1080, switched on by holding the mode button.[3] The Pro supports selectable color modes, which the Viture One does not; VITURE's documentation lists True Color, Vivid, Film, Warm and Cold.[3] Gaming Nexus noted that the Pro had no official HDR support.[6]

Optics
The micro-OLED panels sit in the upper part of the frame and project downward onto angled secondary lenses behind the front lenses, which redirect the image to the eyes.[7][9] Laptop Mag described these secondary lenses as prism-like and more reflective than the outer lenses.[7] Gaming Nexus referred to them as birdbath lenses.[6] In UploadVR's general description of display glasses, such optics magnify a small micro-OLED panel with a curved mirror or a prism block, sit noticeably out from the face and block at least about 80% of real-world light.[12]
Both Gaming Nexus and TechRadar reported that the angled lenses can show reflections of what is directly below the glasses, such as the wearer's shirt or a phone screen, especially in dark scenes.[6][9]
Electrochromic film
The front lenses carry an electrochromic film that switches between a clear and a darkened state with a single press of the mode button.[3] VITURE says the film blocks up to 99.5% of external light, making the attachable light-blocking lens shades used with earlier glasses unnecessary; it lists an optical transmittance of 0.5-40%, haze below 1% and a switching ("discoloration") time of 0.1 seconds.[1][13] Laptop Mag found that switching on the film, which blocks out the surrounding light almost entirely, heightened immersion in games.[7]
The Pro was not the first VITURE product with this feature: VITURE describes the Viture One as the first XR glasses to use adjustable electrochromic film.[3] Gaming Nexus found that the One's film had two levels and that the Pro's much darker film worked even outdoors in direct sun, so that the reviewer never used the optional blackout shade.[6] AppleInsider reported that the film turns off automatically when the wearer looks down, making a keyboard easier to see.[11]
Vision correction
The VITURE Pro supports myopia adjustment up to -5.0D (500 degrees), allowing nearsighted users to use the glasses without prescription lenses. Two dials above the lenses adjust each eye separately from 0.00D to -5.00D.[3][7] VITURE lists a single supported IPD range of 57.5-69.5 mm for the Pro.[1] For users with severe astigmatism or myopia of -6.0D and beyond, VITURE sells a Prescription Lens Frame that holds the wearer's own lenses; Gaming Nexus reported that the magnetic prescription lens attachment made for the Viture One also fits the Pro.[3][6]
Audio
VITURE partnered with Harman to develop the Pro's audio system, which uses HARMAN AudioEFX processing and built-in stereo speakers in the temples. VITURE says the speakers' reverse sound field design reduces noise leakage to 30 decibels at a distance of 20 cm (8 in), and it lists a fundamental frequency of 270 Hz ± 40.[3][1]
Reviewers found that the design keeps sound bleed low but that the speakers are quiet. Tom's Guide called the sound "quiet and tinny" and recommended headphones in noisy places, and Laptop Mag found the speakers quieter than those of the Xreal Air 2, though with less bleed.[4][7]
Build and ergonomics
The glasses weigh 77 grams, and their folded dimensions are 163.0 x 47.7 x 53.7 mm. VITURE describes the body as full-metal aircraft-grade aluminum with titanium hinges.[1] The frame has a wear-detection sensor, and VITURE suggests a wearing time of 3-4 hours.[1] The glasses have no built-in battery and draw power from the connected device.[1]
A brightness and volume rocker and a mode button sit on the underside of the left temple, and the cable attaches magnetically at the end of the right temple through pogo pins.[7][1] The box contains the glasses, four swappable nose pads, a 1.2 m USB-C to magnetic connector cable, a case (186.0 x 76.0 x 76.0 mm, 280 g), an anti-clip hair cover and a cleaning cloth.[1] Gaming Nexus noted that the Pro is shaped almost exactly like the Viture One, with an orange logo and black hinges in place of the One's two-tone finish, and that the right temple still became warm during use.[6]
Software
The VITURE Pro is compatible with the free SpaceWalker app, available for iOS, Android, macOS and Windows.[8] On a computer, SpaceWalker can place one or several virtual screens, including a 21:9 ultrawide screen, at fixed positions using 3DoF head tracking, and it lets the user choose the refresh rate.[11][14] The mobile app adds a web browser, a media player with native 3D/VR video support, and playback of spatial video recorded on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16.[1][8][7] VITURE later added "Immersive 3D", a real-time conversion of 2D content into 3D, first on iOS at the end of 2024.[2][8]
VITURE's button guide for the Pro also lists a beta on-glasses mode, switched by triple-pressing the mode button, that toggles between a fixed (0DoF) screen and 3DoF.[3] On the Steam Deck, VITURE directs users to the XR Gaming plugin for Decky Loader, which uses the glasses' IMU data to pin the game screen in space.[3]
Reviewers found the app uneven across platforms. BGR found the macOS app well designed but called the iOS app buggy and unintuitive, while Laptop Mag noted that the Windows version was newly released and "a little buggy at times".[14][7]
Compatibility
The VITURE Pro works with USB-C devices that output video over DisplayPort Alt Mode, and it acts as a plug-and-play external display without drivers.[3][7] VITURE and reviewers list these hosts:[1][3][4]
- Android phones that support DisplayPort Alt Mode
- iPhone 15 and newer
- MacBook and Mac
- Windows PCs
- Steam Deck
- Nintendo Switch (through the VITURE Pro Mobile Dock)
- ROG Ally and other gaming handhelds
Several accessories extend the glasses. The VITURE Pro Mobile Dock, listed at US$129 on VITURE's store in December 2024, connects HDMI sources such as the Nintendo Switch, can drive two pairs of glasses at once and has a 13,000 mAh battery.[1][7] Gaming Nexus found that the dock also works with glasses from other makers, such as Xreal's.[6] On iPhones with USB-C, the USB-C XR Charging Adapter enables multiple virtual screens, Immersive 3D, spatial and VR video, and refresh-rate selection in SpaceWalker while charging the phone.[3] The VITURE Pro Neckband, released at the end of 2024, is an Android-based compute unit with features such as AR hand controls, multiple screens and a voice assistant.[2][12]
Reception
The VITURE Pro received positive reviews, with praise centered on the display, the electrochromic film and the software, and criticism of the audio volume, the narrow field of view and the cost of accessories.
Tom's Guide's Jason England wrote that the glasses "take the whole AR glasses category to a new level" and that the Viture Pro "has officially taken its place as the best premium AR glasses".[4] He praised the 120 Hz display and the SpaceWalker multi-screen modes but called the speakers quiet and found the field of view limiting, and noted that the glasses plus the hardware needed to unlock every feature cost more than US$700.[4] Laptop Mag's Rael Hornby wrote that the SpaceWalker software "excels" and that "There's truly no smoother or fleshed-out experience as the one offered here", while listing accessory costs and audio volume as drawbacks.[7]
Gaming Nexus's John Yan called the Pro "a very solid update to the VITURE One" with a clear gain in picture quality, but disliked reflections in the lenses and found the field of view too small for programming work.[6] AppleInsider's Thomas Sibilly found the glasses more useful on their own than the One because the darker film removed the need for a shade, while noting a complex setup for older iPhones.[11] TechRadar's Dutch edition liked the size, picture and myopia dials, and criticized the built-in sound, the reflections and the price of accessories.[9]
