Smart glasses company Viture had a busy 2025, releasing its solid Luma series of glasses and ensuring that its pro mobile dock is compatible with Nintendo’s Switch 2. Now it’s kicking off 2026 by debuting a new model at CES, called The Beast, and it’s available to preorder now for $549 with shipping starting in February.

Pickle claims its new “soul computer” AR glasses can remember your life—but critics say the tech isn’t real yet. Hype, red flags, and big promises.

Xreal is back at CES 2026 with some improvements to its most affordable AR glasses. The Xreal 1S (a sequel to the Xreal One) are now $50 cheaper at $449 and have improved specs to boot. Cheaper and better, you say? Alright, I’m listening.

XREAL 1S glasses pack 1200p displays and instant 3D conversion for $449, down $50 from the original XREAL One price.

XREAL has introduced new products in its One Series lineup, including the XREAL 1S AR glasses, Neo power bank, and a DisplayPort hub.

While the long-awaited Quest-style VR headset from Asus has been put on ice, the Taiwanese tech giant announced it has now partnered with XREAL on a pair of AR glasses for traditional gaming, which boast an impressive 240Hz refresh rate.
