New Delhi: ASUS has recently unveiled its ROG XReal R1 gaming glasses in partnership with XReal at CES 2026, marking the debut of what the company claims is the world’s first 240Hz micro-OLED spatial display in a wearable form factor. According to the company, the device delivers a considerable virtual screen experience designed for PCs, consoles and the ROG Ally handheld, with support for high refresh rates, low latency and plug-and-play connectivity aimed at gaming use cases. This news comes on the heels of XReal unveiling 1S AR glasses just the day before CES 2026 began.
The ROG XReal R1 uses a 0.55-inch Sony micro-OLED panel with Full HD resolution and a refresh rate of up to 240Hz. The glasses project a virtual display measuring up to 171 inches at a perceived distance of four metres, offering a 57-degree field of view that covers around 95% of the focused viewing area. ASUS stated that the device supports native three degrees of freedom, enabling users to either anchor the virtual screen in a fixed position or have it follow head movement.
The ROG XReal R1 is designed to work across multiple platforms. It will connect directly to the ROG Ally through a single USB-C cable for immediate use, while compatibility with PCs and consoles will be enabled through the included ROG Control Dock. The dock will feature two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4 input, with the video output handled through USB-C. The system supports up to 4K at 60Hz input through the dock, with the onboard X1 chip managing spatial positioning and screen scaling.
The glasses deliver low motion to photon latency of around 2-3ms to reduce motion blur during gameplay. Peak brightness is rated at 700nits. The device also includes electrochromic lenses with three adjustable transparency levels, enabling the glasses to adapt to different lighting conditions automatically or manually.
