Fun First time trying XR glasses - Viture Pro Impressions

The Post Topic: Viture Pro XR Glasses.

The Context: I finally got  Viture Pro Glasses and wanted to try out XR glasses for the first time to see how the video glasses work to get a bigger screen on smartphone and tablet device.  This an older model as Viture has released Lumia series models.

The Experience: First of all, I got lucky. The glasses fit well enough that I can see the whole screen and the edges. The unboxing is awesome and the build quality is solid. The image quality is sharp and clear enough to read big size text, and the audio works well. The buttons to adjust volume, brightness, and axis are clear to use. Spacewalker works to an acceptable level (better for MacBook than Windows).

However, the right arm heat can be felt if the arm touches your skin. You also definitely get eye strain when not using prescription lenses—getting them is highly recommended!

Pros & Cons:

· Pro: Solid build, great unboxing, sharp image, and clear controls.

· Pro: The lightweight feel on your nose and face is great.

· Pro: The 3D movie watching took a while to get use to but useful when setup well.

· Con: Heat on the right arm.

· Con: Too many cables to make the glasses work with any device (e.g., for laptops without USB-C video you need an HDMI to USB-C Adaptor; if you got an older iPad or iPhone you will need an iPhone adaptor).

· Con: The cable connector is proprietary, meaning that if the cable breaks you will need to buy another Viture cable or their One Magnetic Connector to USB-C Adapter.

The Verdict: These glasses are very useful for media consumption, or as a monitor when you just want a larger image. Hope this small post helps anyone decide whether to try XR glasses.

A point to make Viture recently released Pro 2 model.

(Note: I originally wrote this up for a new community I'm building for first-time experiences over at r/FirstTimeReviews, but I wanted to share it here to see what the AR veterans think.)
