Imagine that a pair of glasses that can project a 120 inch screen in your field of vision can let you play the best PC / console games and watch movies anywhere. This is the promise of virtue one XR glasses, and many people seem to be excited about this prospect: the project has raised more than $2.5 million on KickStarter, although the target is only $20000.
Virtue one XR glasses provide the kind of virtual screen we see in similar VR / AR devices. The difference is that it will project a 120 inch 1080p display (55ppd) in front of the user and run at the speed of 60fps.
The glasses also claim to be able to realize real portable VR games, thanks to the connectable neck bands pre installed with streaming applications, such as geforce now, and they will be compatible with remote game streaming services, provided you have a stable 5g or Wi Fi connection.
Developers pointed out that PC players can install steam link on virtue one glasses to access their entire steam database during the journey, or they can download moonlight (NVIDIA) or AMD link applications to access their PC games on their devices.
Virtue one can be purchased separately without neck strap, in which case it is still compatible with any usb-c device with video output and power transmission, including steam deck, specific Android phones and compatible laptops. There is also a mobile dock option, which can directly connect Nintendo switch and HDMI devices (PC, TV stick, game console, etc.).
The glasses weigh 77g and the neck strap weighs 170g, although you may be conspicuous in public. It also has an embedded directional speaker, a control panel, a color changing film that darkens or brightens content, and a prescription optical lens option, so myopic users can play without glasses or contact lenses.
The price of virtone's glasses is $479. Once it ends, virtone will need to buy them separately. It costs $529 to buy glasses with a neck strap, and $529 to buy a suit including a handheld base; Once the early bird offer is sold out, both are $579. In addition, the combined price of these three things is $629 or $679, depending on how many [accessories] you buy( https://microsoft.pvxt.net/Xx07X )。
At present, the community's comments on virtue one prototype glasses are quite positive, which is why the goal is only $20000, but it has raised $2.5 million, which fully shows how much confidence people have in the project. You know, this is more than the funds raised by oculus rift on KickStarter. I hope they can live up to expectations.
