At CES 2026, ASUS’s Republic of Gamers (ROG) partnered with Xreal to introduce the world’s first 240Hz micro‑OLED FHD gaming glasses. Designed to deliver immersive large‑screen experiences in a lightweight wearable form, the R1 projects a virtual display of up to 171 inches at four meters, covering 95% of the focused viewing area. The glasses integrate seamlessly with the ROG Ally handheld via a single USB‑C connection, while the included ROG Control Dock expands compatibility to PCs and consoles such as the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
On a technical note, the ROG Xreal R1 is built around dual Micro-OLED displays that project a massive virtual screen, equivalent to a 130-inch display from several meters away. The glasses boast a crisp 1080p resolution per eye, a 120Hz refresh rate for fluid motion and a peak brightness of 600 nits, ensuring clarity even in well-lit environments.
A standout feature is the inclusion of ROG’s signature gaming enhancements, such as low-latency input and TUV Rheinland-certified eye comfort technology to reduce blue light and flicker during extended play sessions. Additionally, the glasses feature integrated “Ultra-linear” speakers that provide spatial audio to complement the immersive visual experience.
The ROG Xreal R1 is scheduled for a global rollout starting in the coming months, with an official retail price yet to be confirmed.
