Late final yr, we bought to assessment the Viture Luma Extremely glasses alongside the Professional Cellular Dock. You may try that assessment right here. Viture was type sufficient to ship us their newest glasses known as the Viture Beast. Are these totally a step up from the Luma Extremely glasses? In some methods, sure, however let’s stroll by the variations.
Viture Beast XR glasses
For one, the Viture Beast glasses supply the very best in subject of view (FOV) at 58 levels in comparison with the Luma Extremely’s 52 diploma FOV. The Luma Extremely’s have greater peak brightness at 1500 nits whereas the Beast is at 1250 nits – nonetheless very excessive brightness in my expertise enjoying Swap 2 video games on each units. The Luma Extremely glasses are catered a bit extra for enterprise/productiveness use-cases. They’ve a pair further cameras that assist present extra movement monitoring (6DoF, levels of freedom, vs 3DoF within the Beast). The added brightness would assist for these eventualities the place you’ll be utilizing these glasses as a second monitor for productiveness functions.

For gaming functions, it actually comes all the way down to the consolation and a few of the particular options you may want. Each glasses have the flexibility to attach prescription frames (a should in my case). The Luma Extremely’s benefit from IPD adjustment wheels above every lens so you may fine-tune some changes. The Beast is a ‘full metallic’ enclosure that includes a customized aluminum magnesium mixture. They really feel a bit extra premium but additionally weigh barely greater than the Luma Extremely glasses though it wasn’t actually sufficient for me to note a distinction in my testing. Additionally, the Beast makes use of a easy USB-C cable to connect with the again finish of the correct stem of the glasses whereas the Luma Extremely’s use a magnetic connector. I really want the magnetic connector from a consolation perspective because it was simpler to placed on/take off and felt a bit higher situated over the ear. However I might see if the magnetic connector ever wanted to get replaced, it’s a customized cable you’d should get from Viture whereas the Beast simply makes use of a USB-C cable.

Let’s get all the way down to the precise efficiency of the Beast with some Swap 2 video games. I examined these with my Nintendo Swap 2 and tried a number of video games various from Nintendo Swap On-line titles to extra fashionable video games like Star Fox (2026) and Yoshi and the Mysterious Ebook. The decision was fairly strong however greater than that, the body price was actually strong which is extra vital to me. It actually does really feel such as you’re simply enjoying these video games on the TV that’s related to the Swap 2 with that very same type of snappiness you’d count on. I nonetheless wanted to leverage the Professional Cellular Dock to connect with the Swap 2 (you’d want the dock as properly for connecting to a Swap 1). It was just about plug and play and I used to be good to go. I did have some points with the video output at occasions. This appeared to enhance with some firmware updates however even on the newest firmware I nonetheless have some video output points right here and there. Mainly, the video would present as multicolored traces down the display screen. I generally needed to modify the USB-C cable to get it to resolve. I had extra points with this after I was mendacity down on my again. There may need been some strain on the connection level of the USB-C cable on the again proper stem is the one factor I can guess? One other vote for the Luma Extremely’s magnetic connector which I didn’t see any of those points with.
General, I loved my time with the Beast however I believe I most well-liked the Luma Extremely simply from a really feel perspective. I preferred the magnetic connection of the cable to the glasses (it meant that I might placed on the glasses shortly, identical to common glasses with out a cable, after which snap the magnetic cable on). It’s very slick! It was just a bit tougher to attach the USB-C cable up. A minor inconvenience for many however whenever you simply need to get right into a sport shortly, I preferred the magnetic connection higher. The Beast glasses are $549 ($50 cheaper than the Luma Extremely glasses) and whereas each will do the job very properly, I’d most likely go along with the Luma Extremely’s if I needed to choose between the 2. If you happen to want the look and metallic body of the Beast, you definitely received’t miss out on a lot. Both pair of glasses presently signify most likely the two greatest XR glasses you may get proper now at this worth vary.
