Asus and Xreal’s AR Goggles: Cyberpunk Glasses More LED Than Lens
KEY POINTS
- •Xreal launched the 1S AR glasses and Switch 2-ready Neo dock at CES 2025, both currently available for purchase.
- •Asus is partnering with Xreal to release the ROG Xreal R1 AR gaming glasses featuring thick stems and LED indicators.
- •The glasses' LED strips may indicate battery life or a gamer status metric, and only one teaser image has been shared publicly.
At CES 2025, Xreal unveiled not one but three AR gadgets including the 1S AR glasses and the Switch 2-ready Neo dock with an imbedded battery—because who doesn’t want their dock powered in style? The real showstopper is the upcoming Asus ROG Xreal R1 gaming glasses, teased in just one teaser image to The Verge. These cyberpunk aviators sport thick stems that scream 'look at me,' featuring LED strips intended to show something vital like battery life or perhaps your 'leetness' level—whatever that means in gamer jargon. Fashion meets FPS in these head-turning specs aiming to blend real world and virtual with, presumably, vastly improved style over clunky VR headsets.
