ASUS Launches ROG XREAL R1 AR Glasses with Industry-First 24

ASUS has opened global pre-orders for the ROG XREAL R1, a set of augmented reality glasses that introduces the first 240Hz micro-OLED display to the wearable market. This high refresh rate is paired with a 0.01ms response time, specifically targeting handheld gamers who use devices like the ROG Ally. The hardware began its pre-order phase on May 15, 2026, with shipping expected to commence at the start of June.

The ROG XREAL R1 creates a virtual environment equivalent to a 171-inch screen viewed from a distance of four meters. Each eye receives a 1080p resolution image, powered by the XREAL X1 spatial computing chip. This dedicated silicon enables native three-degrees-of-freedom (3DoF) tracking, allowing the virtual display to remain stable as the user moves their head. To complement the visual experience, the glasses include an integrated audio system tuned by Bose.

Portability is a central focus of the design, with the unit weighing 91 grams. This lightweight build is intended for extended gaming sessions or media consumption while traveling. The device connects via USB-C, making it compatible with a wide range of modern hardware beyond the ASUS ecosystem, including smartphones and laptops that support DisplayPort Alt Mode.

ASUS confirmed that the ROG XREAL R1 is priced at $849 USD for the initial launch. Customers who place orders during this window can expect their units to ship on June 1, 2026. This release is a significant step in the collaboration between ASUS and XREAL, pushing high-performance display technology into a compact, wearable form factor for the consumer market.
