ASUS and XREAL Unveil ROG XREAL R1 Gaming AR Glasses With 240Hz Displays at CES

Hands-on demos highlighted strong display performance alongside comfort and usability concerns.

Overview

  • The ROG XREAL R1 features dual micro‑OLED panels delivering 1080p per eye at up to 240Hz with a 57‑degree field of view, Bose‑tuned speakers, electrochromic tinting, and a stated weight of about 91 grams.
  • ASUS includes an ROG Control Dock with two HDMI 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 connector, and USB‑C for quick switching between devices, while compatible PCs and handhelds can connect directly over USB‑C.
  • Demos touted a virtual screen of up to roughly 171 inches at four meters, with the maximum 240Hz refresh dependent on the performance of the connected hardware.
  • Reviewers reported sharp visuals and smooth motion but noted bulky, restrictive frames and said the anchored screen mode could feel disorienting in practice.
  • ASUS and XREAL have not announced pricing or a release date for the R1.
