Video glasses are getting a lot nicer and a lot cheaper, and Viture’s newest pair fit in that sweet spot perfectly. The Viture Pro 2, released today as part of a fifth anniversary collection, manages to bring the price down drastically from the previous generation while also amping up sharpness and reducing weight—two very important things in a pair of glasses. The Viture Pro 2 costs $299, putting it on par, price-wise, with similar pairs from RayNeo, like the RayNeo Air 4 Pro, and Xreal’s subbrand X by Xreal, which makes the a01+. For context, the first-gen Viture Pro debuted at $459. © Viture There are a few things making that price feel even more competitive, including the fact that the Viture Pro 2 look significantly improved across the board. According to Viture, the Pro 2 are brighter (1,600 nits of peak brightness as opposed to the 1,000 the previous generation was rated for) and lighter. The Viture Pro 2 clock in at 63g, which is 20% lighter than the first generation. They’re also leaner; Viture says they’re the thinnest glasses it’s released yet.
The Pro 2 have what Viture calls UltraClarity 3.0, which is meant to improve sharpness and reduce visual distortion. The Viture Pro 2 sport the same resolution as the previous generation—1,920 x 1,080 per eye—but a slightly wider field of view, offering 50 degrees versus its predecessors’ 46 degrees.
