What Happened
I’ve spent months in the lab testing the latest AR glasses from Xreal and Viture.
Why It Matters
By “lab,” I mean cozied up on my couch each night, playing my Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch 2 on a huge, virtual screen that only I can see through these glasses.

- Using AR glasses as a portable display for your handhelds (and other USB-C devices, like phones, tablets, and laptops) is nothing new.
- However, the latest versions have one must-have feature in common: three degrees of freedom, or 3DoF, which lets you anchor the screen anywhere you’d like, as opposed to having it nauseatingly wiggle with every head movement.
- This won’t make AR glasses worth their $400-plus costs for most gamers.
- But this makes them more useful if you travel a lot, or if you want a more ergonomic handheld setup.
