The Viture Luma is an AR glasses device developed and manufactured by VITURE, announced on July 8, 2025. It is the entry-level model in the Luma Series, which represents VITURE's second generation of XR glasses following the VITURE Pro. The Viture Luma is positioned as an affordable yet feature-rich option for consumers interested in portable virtual display technology, priced at US$399.[1][2]
Overview
The Viture Luma features a 146-inch virtual screen with a 50-degree field of view and utilizes Sony's enhanced Micro-OLED panels with 1920×1200 resolution per eye, described by the manufacturer as "4K-like" 1200p resolution.[2] The device represents a 50% improvement in sharpness compared to its predecessor, the VITURE Pro, through enhanced optical processing and display technology.[3]
As the most affordable model in the Luma Series, the Viture Luma distinguishes itself with several accessibility features, including a record-setting -6.0D myopia adjustment capability, making it VITURE's most accessible glasses for nearsighted users.[2] It is also the first flagship model from VITURE to feature direct USB-C connectivity without requiring a separate neckband accessory for basic functionality.[2][4]
The device weighs 77 grams and features a translucent frame design with flexible temple arms, making it suitable for extended wear during gaming, media consumption, and productivity tasks.[5]
Development and Release
Company Background
VITURE was founded in 2021 by a team of Silicon Valley veterans with experience at Google, Apple, and other leading technology firms.[6] The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and has quickly established itself as a key player in the XR industry.[7]
In September 2025, VITURE announced the successful completion of two additional Series B funding rounds totaling $100 million USD, backed by prominent technology leaders and strategic investment firms.[8]
Announcement and Launch
The Viture Luma was announced on July 8, 2025, as part of a broader product launch that included the Luma Series lineup: Viture Luma, Viture Luma Pro, Viture Luma Ultra, and a flagship model called "The Beast".[1] The Luma Series was positioned as VITURE's next evolution in immersive wearable displays, built on years of user insights and optical breakthroughs.[3]
While the Viture Luma Pro became available immediately after the announcement in July 2025, the base Viture Luma model was scheduled for release with rolling shipments beginning in September–October 2025, with different ship windows by model and region reflecting ongoing production and logistics.[1][9][10]
Technical Specifications
Display
The Viture Luma utilizes Sony's enhanced Micro-OLED display panels with the following specifications:
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Resolution per Eye | 1920×1200 pixels (1200p) |
| Virtual Screen Size | 146 inches (equivalent at 3 meters distance) |
| Field of View | 50° (diagonal) |
| Peak Brightness | 1,000 nits |
| Refresh Rate | 120 Hz |
| Display Technology | Sony Micro-OLED |
| Color Modes | 5 selectable modes |
| Eye Care Certification | SGS A+ certified |
The display offers what VITURE describes as "4K-like" clarity through proprietary optical processing, delivering 50% more sharpness than the VITURE Pro model.[2][11] The glasses feature edge-to-edge clarity with enhanced optical sharpness designed to make text readable even on the large virtual display.[3]
Optics
The Viture Luma features a birdbath-style optical system with several notable characteristics:
- Myopia Adjustment: Up to -6.0 diopters (the highest in VITURE's lineup), allowing nearsighted users to adjust focus directly on the glasses without prescription inserts[2]
- Electrochromic Film: One-click light filtering technology that instantly darkens the lenses for enhanced immersion and ambient light control[3][5]
- Eyebox Size: Features the largest eyebox in VITURE's lineup, making it easier for users to find the optimal viewing position (sweet spot)[12]
For users with stronger prescriptions than -6.0D or those with astigmatism, VITURE offers magnetic prescription lens frame attachments that can be purchased separately.[2][13]
Audio
The Viture Luma incorporates an AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) acoustic system, an upgrade from previous models that provides fuller and richer sound.[3][4] The audio system is integrated into the temple arms of the glasses using built-in open-ear speakers, similar to other smart glasses designs. The speakers are designed to minimize audio bleed, allowing for private listening experiences while maintaining awareness of surroundings.[14]
Connectivity and Compatibility
The Viture Luma features direct USB-C connectivity using DisplayPort Alt Mode, making it the first VITURE flagship model to connect directly to devices without requiring a separate neckband accessory for basic video output functionality.[2] The glasses draw power directly from the connected device via the USB-C port. The included cable measures 1.2 meters in length and features a magnetic connector for easy attachment and detachment.[5]
Compatible Devices:
- iPhone 15, 16 and later models
- Android smartphones with USB-C video output capability
- MacBook and Mac computers
- Windows computers
- Nintendo Switch 2
- Steam Deck
- ROG Ally

- VITURE Pro Neckband (for standalone functionality and cloud gaming)
- Magnetic prescription lens frames
- 8BitDo XR-compatible controllers[3][8]
Tracking and Software

- Multi-screen support (up to three virtual displays)
- Head motion controls for screen positioning
- Real-time 2D-to-3D content conversion (Immersive 3D feature using AI-assisted depth conversion)
- Screen positioning and customization
- Ultrawide display modes
- Compatibility with iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows[3][15]
The Immersive 3D feature can turn standard 2D content (such as videos) into stereoscopic-like 3D on compatible platforms, with Windows and macOS receiving the best support, while Android and iOS support varies due to platform restrictions.[15] Some advanced features within SpaceWalker may require in-app purchases.[3]

The Viture Luma features intuitive onboard controls including:
- Brightness adjustment (9 levels)
- Volume control (9 levels)

Market Position and Reception
The Viture Luma is positioned as an affordable entry point into XR glasses, priced at $399 USD, making it VITURE's most accessible flagship model.[1] This pricing places it in direct competition with other consumer-oriented AR glasses brands such as Xreal (formerly Nreal).
Industry analysts noted that the Luma Series launch represented VITURE's expansion into multiple market segments, from casual users (Luma) to professional and enterprise applications (Luma Ultra).[16]
Early hands-on coverage highlighted the lineup breadth and praised the base Luma model for its sharp display, affordability, and accessibility features. Reviewers noted the improved comfort, extensive myopia adjustment range, and the value proposition at the $399 price point. The Immersive 3D feature was particularly praised on PC platforms, though reviewers noted app limitations on some mobile platforms due to OS restrictions.[5][15]
The XR glasses market has become increasingly competitive, with major technology companies including Google, Samsung, and Apple showing interest in the space. However, VITURE and Xreal have established early market presence with shipping products.[1]
Awards and Recognition
While the Viture Luma itself is a newly released product, VITURE's previous model, the VITURE One, received recognition including Time magazine's "Best Invention of the Year" award.[6] The company's products have been featured in multiple "Best Smart Glasses" lists and have received Editor's Choice awards from technology publications.[17]
Accessories
The VITURE Luma is compatible with several accessories to enhance its functionality:
- VITURE Pro Neckband: Adds computing power for 6DoF tracking and gesture controls
- VITURE Pro Mobile Dock: Enables HDMI connectivity for devices without USB-C video output
- Prescription Lens Frames: Magnetic frames for users with prescriptions beyond -6.0D or those with astigmatism
- Lens Shade: Blocks ambient light for better daytime use
- 8BitDo Controller: XR-compatible controller for gaming
- Glasses Case and Cloth: Included for protection and maintenance[1][13]
Future Development
VITURE has indicated that additional software features will be added to the Luma Series after launch, including:
- Enhanced 6DoF support through software updates
- Additional SpaceWalker features
