If you’ve been following advances in XR (extended reality) glasses, then you’ve likely heard of VITURE. Known for crafting some of the most innovative and stylish XL glasses on the market, VITURE has just launched its new Luma series, boasting major upgrades over previous models. After spending several weeks with the VITURE Luma Pro, I’m excited to share my hands-on impressions, insights from a conversation with VITURE’s CEO and cofounder David Zhang, and a deep dive into what makes these glasses stand out in the rapidly evolving XR space.
📦 Unboxing the VITURE Luma Pro
The unboxing experience of the Luma Pro is as sleek as the glasses themselves. The outer box features a funky design that hints at the innovation inside. Opening it reveals a quick instruction manual to help you get started, followed by a premium zipped case housing the glasses.
The glasses immediately impress with their matte transparent design, magnetic interchangeable nose pads that suit all face shapes, and an electric chromatic filter that darkens the lenses when you’re viewing content. The attention to detail continues with tilt-adjustable arms ensuring a comfortable, customized fit, and myopia adjustment dials supporting prescriptions from zero to minus four diopters.
🌟 Stunning Display and Design Upgrades
Once you put on the Luma Pro, the real magic begins. You’re greeted with a massive 152-inch virtual display floating right before your eyes. This display dazzles with a brightness of 1,000 nits and offers a 4K-like resolution — arguably the sharpest screen currently available in XR glasses.
Compared to the previous generation’s 46-degree field of view, the Luma Pro expands this to an impressive 52 degrees, enhancing immersion. Looking ahead, VITURE has teased an even more expansive model, “The Beast,” shipping later this year with a whopping 58-degree field of view — all packed into a surprisingly small form factor.
David Zhang shared his vision for future VITURE glasses: “Our goal is to make the most discreet glasses for users. We’ll keep improving our glasses to make them lighter and thinner, but not larger.” This focus on sleek, unobtrusive design clearly shines through in the Luma series.
🎮 Gaming Anywhere with VITURE Luma Pro
One of the standout use cases for the Luma Pro is gaming. By connecting the glasses directly to devices like the Steam Deck, you unlock that expansive 152-inch, 4K-like display, allowing you to immerse yourself in your favorite games wherever you go. The built-in Harman audio system complements this experience with rich sound, making for a complete portable gaming setup.
For Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 owners, VITURE offers a mobile dock that lets you connect two pairs of glasses for multiplayer fun. Additionally, a collaboration with 8BitDo has produced a gamepad that pairs with your phone and the Luma Pro glasses, further enhancing the mobile gaming experience. This combination is truly a game changer for gamers on the move.
📱 Versatile Use Beyond Gaming
The Luma Pro isn’t just for gamers. Thanks to support for USB-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode, you can connect these glasses to laptops, desktops, and smartphones to enjoy an enormous, immersive display on any compatible device. I personally tested watching downloaded Netflix shows on a flight, and the experience was nothing short of amazing — it felt like having a private cinema screen wherever I went.
🌀 Immersive 3D: A Groundbreaking Feature
One of the most innovative features of the VITURE glasses is their immersive 3D capability. This technology can convert any photo or video — regardless of when or how it was taken — into real-time 3D content. Inspired by the iPhone’s spatial video functionality, VITURE’s solution overcomes the limitation of legacy videos that can’t be viewed in spatial video format.
David explained, “This feature can convert any pictures and videos no matter where they were taken into 3D. The first time you try this, honestly, you’ll be blown away by it.” Even live videos that aren’t originally shot in 3D can be transformed on the fly, enabling you to watch YouTube videos and other content in immersive 3D.
🔮 The Future of XR and AI Integration
Looking ahead, David shared his thoughts on how XR glasses might evolve and potentially replace smartphones. He believes that as technology matures, people will rely less on mobile phones. Moreover, AI will revolutionize the entire industry, redesigning applications to work seamlessly and intuitively on glasses rather than phones.
“After AI gets mature, I believe AI’s going to revolutionize the entire industry. So for the glasses, all the applications are going to be redesigned by AI. You’re going to have a more seamless and intuitive interface on the glasses instead of on the mobile phone right now.”
🚀 Upcoming Models: Luma Ultra and The Beast
If the Luma Pro isn’t enough, VITURE has announced two exciting new models coming later this year:
- Luma Ultra: The pinnacle of XR glasses, featuring a triple camera system that significantly improves hand tracking accuracy and spatial awareness compared to the single camera on the Luma Pro. This upgrade enables full six degrees of freedom (6DOF), allowing virtual windows and objects to stay anchored in place and interact with the user in real time.
- The Beast: A superior pair of XL glasses boasting a massive 58-degree field of view powered by an all-new optics module, pushing the boundaries of immersive XR experience.
The Luma Ultra’s advanced capabilities bring a level of augmented reality interaction that is rare to find in lightweight XR glasses, and it’s clear that VITURE is setting a new standard.
🔧 What Sets VITURE Apart?
David shared an insightful perspective on what differentiates VITURE from other XR glasses makers:
“We don’t just produce XR glasses. We produce a whole new experience. We don’t make a hammer and then find the nails. We find the nails, and then we make the best hammer for that nail.”
This philosophy underpins the Luma series and their commitment to innovation, usability, and delivering a truly immersive experience.
