And now, a year later, ASUS has partnered with XRE and with us to sponsor this video to unveil those, except for gamers. Meet the ROG XXRel R1 gaming glasses. These things are in a nutshell, well, they're not in a nutshell, they're in a hard case. Sick. The visuals are still supplied by a pair of 1920x 1080 micro OLED displays for lightning fast 01 millisecond response times. We've still got a massive 57 degree field of view that can create up to a 171in virtual display, whatever that means exactly. And [music] they are still shockingly bright at 700 nits with electrochromic dimming, [music] which wait makes them gaming. How exactly? Ah, well, there is an RGB strip along the side. [music] And the refresh rate is dialed up from 120 Hz all the way to 240 Hz. [music] And they created this dock to make it way easier to connect to gaming devices that don't happen to have a fully featured USBC output. Let's check them out. Well, my notes say unbox them, but I guess I kind of already did that. Why don't we have a look at the accessories? Inside the not final packaging, this is clearly XR's packaging, you will find two additional sizes of nose pads, depending on the shape of your face, as well as a little lenses frame here. These can be used to add prescription lenses to your R1 gaming glasses. It also comes with a handydandy polishing cloth, the cable you'll need to plug it into anything, which is not to be taken for granted these days, as well as the carrying case that I showed you guys before. In terms of the fit and finish, it feels quite similar to the XRE 1 Pros that I've used in the past, which is a good thing. It's just 91 g thanks to being powered by the Tether rather than an integrated battery, and has a simple interface that includes an action button, a rocker button for navigation, as well as a programmable macro button. It's also got Bose tuned speakers, which doesn't always mean a ton, but in this case, they actually sound pretty decent, but you don't have to use them because, of course, you can just pair your Bluetooth earphones to whatever device you're using wirelessly. I guess now we plug them in. >> Let's do it. I feel like driving these off of the ROG Xbox isn't going to be the best way to take advantage of their 240 Hz display just because of the limited performance. But this is such a realistic use case for these because these are a great way to bring a large screen device out and about with you without having to I don't know staple up a projection screen on the bus. [music] >> What you could >> good is a good visual. >> There's two main modes. The screen can either follow you around wherever you're looking or you can lock it in space in front of you and then it'll just kind of stay there. Well, the electrochromic dimming is working really, really well because I cannot see my notes at all through the Steam interface. So, that's cool. What's cool about that, too, is that you can set it to automatically turn the electrochromic dimming on and off depending on whether you're looking at the [music] screen. So, if somebody walks up to your desk and you're using this as like a virtual desktop, you can be like [music] locked in and you can look over be like, \"Hey, sup? Do I look like a big nerd?\" A little bit. That's good cuz I am. It's worth noting there's a couple different sizes. I'm wearing the one that is for mediumsiz [music] heads which is good because I do not have a large head. Oh damn, I missed. It's kind of amazing how good 1080p looks cuz like yeah it's a you know I think I have it set to 171 in screen right now at 5 m or something like that. But like you know it's it's not that big. Like if you're sitting next to a 1080p monitor, it's about like it was like this, right? Cuz at that distance, really not bad. And actually playing more casual games, like I'm playing tape to tape right now, and I think I probably could get like 150 200 FPS out of this. Like it's smooth. That OLED, man. Instantaneous response times make such a difference to how the game looks and and feels. Oh, I hit the post again. Cruel. It is worth noting though that there is no HDR support at this time. So, it's bright and it's OLED and all of that. So, you get that really nice contrast. He scores again, but no support for HDR at the moment. I'm just holding this up so that they can [music] see the school. Wow. Enough of these. Let's make our way over to the couch, which I can do by just setting the screen to follow mode. Now, I can always see it. Oh, I forgot to mention there is actually a third mode. So, there's follow mode, anchor mode, and then there's anchor man mode where it just ignores any input from your device and just says go yourself, San Diego, on the screen [music] all the time. That's anchor mode. So, you double click to get into the full menu. And I've got the frame rate boost off for now. So, let's go ahead and plug into the dock. The doc's pretty cool. The idea is that not everything has [music] both the display and data capabilities that you need to run a device like this. So, ASUS created a dock that has two [music] HDMI inputs, one DisplayPort input, power in, and then the ability to plug your glasses into the front. My head [music] is like not compatible with glasses. I need just like that much. And then it would sit perfect. [music] Wait. Oh, there's an angle in the hinge. Okay, that helps a lot. I thought I was like breaking it, but actually that's that's part of the design. I hope. Another thing ASUS added compared to the regular XRE version is some carryovers from their gaming monitors. For instance, if you're a filthy cheater, you can add a crosshair in the middle. And then they've also got an FPS counter if you're a big nerd like me. And they're apparently planning more features in the future. This is still pretty early days. Really not bad 1080p at this size. Find it hard to be disciplined enough to hold still enough to like maximize the size of the screen and also never cut off the corners. But I guess that's what follow mode's for. I just find I get a bit of a like stereoscopic 3D headache when I use follow mode. But your mileage may vary. It is worth noting, by the way, guys, that while I'm showing you what I'm doing, privacy is a major feature of displays like this. Whether you're on the bus or the plane or in the office, you can be consuming well pretty much any kind of content. And if you have the speakers off or very low, then nobody has any way of seeing what you're doing, which can be great if you're working on confidential materials or if you're being a degenerate, which I don't judge. Of course, so far we've only showed this thing connected to mobile devices like a gaming handheld or a laptop. Of course, the dock also allows you to connect to a desktop, which is probably where we'll get the most benefit out of our 240 Hz refresh rate. So, why don't we go ahead and do that? All right, time to try 240 hertz. Now, obviously, not every gamer who has a monitor like this on their desk would uh put on glasses to game, but ASUS does see a valid use case for people who just kind of want to kick back like this and have the display be wherever their eyes happen to be. Personally, that's not my gaming posture, but I don't judge. Right now, I'd say the screen I'm playing on is actually about the size of this one. In fact, here I could I could line them up. actually a little smaller, but it's hard to tell because it's like way out in front of me. So, I'm not focusing on something that's right in front of my face, which I personally don't find uncomfortable focusing at this distance for long periods of time, but your mileage may vary on that one. Some people find it quite uncomfortable. Another potential use case for these is as a secondary display. So, if you turned off the electrochromic dimming, then you could kind of, you know, look up at like a big TV here, or you could have sort of content playing on the side separately while you could continue to [music] just use your monitor as you normally would. Bad news, though, is that at this time, ASUS doesn't have any pricing [music] information for us. So, it's impossible for me to tell you if I think they'd be worth picking up or not. And they won't be hitting retail until about Q2 of this year. However, at that time, they are going to come bundled with the dock, which is pretty cool. Unless you don't want the dock, in which case, if you wanted to pick up the glasses separately, that might take a while. They haven't committed to when, if ever, they're going to sell the glasses without the dock. Finally, [music] and this is the last important bit, these types of products are not for everyone. I wish they were, but some people can't handle VR or augmented reality for long periods of time or even short periods of time without issues like eye strain, headaches, and nausea. So, Asus recommends, and I agree, that you should limit your time with them to maybe [music] 30 to 40 minutes at a time, at least for the first few sessions, so that your body can adjust. Despite all that, looking forward to when these come out. Thanks again to ASUS for sponsoring this video and letting me take an early look at the ASUS RGXR glasses. There's plenty more CES coverage coming, so stay tuned. By the time you guys watch this, I'm already going to be in Las Vegas checking out all the cool stuff at the show. If you guys enjoyed this video, why not check out uh Hey, that appearance on the Tonight Show. It's pretty [music] cool. I was really nervous at the beginning, so we just skipped that part. I'm going to try and do better this time. Oh, I'm going on again. Am I allowed to say that? >> I don't know. I guess I just did."}
