Late final 12 months, we received to evaluate the VITURE Luma Extremely glasses alongside the Professional Cellular Dock. You’ll be able to take a look at that evaluate right here. VITURE was form sufficient to ship us their newest glasses known as the VITURE Beast. Are these absolutely a step up from the Luma Extremely glasses? In some methods, sure, however let’s stroll by way of the variations.
VITURE Beast XR glasses
For one, the VITURE Beast glasses provide the perfect in area 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 taking part in Change 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 situations the place you’ll be utilizing these glasses as a second monitor for productiveness purposes.
VITURE Beast XR glasses facet profile
For gaming functions, it actually comes all the way down to the consolation and a number of the particular options you may want. Each glasses have the power to attach prescription frames (a should in my case). The Luma Extremely’s get pleasure from IPD adjustment wheels above every lens so you possibly can 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 in addition 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 suitable stem of the glasses whereas the Luma Extremely’s use a magnetic connector. I really choose 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 may see if the magnetic connector ever wanted to get replaced, it’s a customized cable you’d must 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 Change 2 video games. I examined these with my Nintendo Change 2 and tried a number of video games various from Nintendo Change 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 charge was actually strong which is extra necessary to me. It actually does really feel such as you’re simply taking part in these video games on the TV that’s related to the Change 2 with that very same form of snappiness you’d anticipate. I nonetheless wanted to leverage the Professional Cellular Dock to connect with the Change 2 (you’d want the dock as properly for connecting to a Change 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 instances. This appeared to enhance with some firmware updates however even on the most recent firmware I nonetheless have some video output points right here and there. Mainly, the video would present as multicolored strains down the display. I generally needed to modify the USB-C cable to get it to resolve. I had extra points with this once I was mendacity down on my again. There might need been some stress 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.
Total, I loved my time with the Beast however I believe I most well-liked the Luma Extremely simply from a really feel perspective. I appreciated the magnetic connection of the cable to the glasses (it meant that I may placed on the glasses rapidly, similar to common glasses with out a cable, after which snap the magnetic cable on). It’s very slick! It was just a bit harder to attach the USB-C cable up. A minor inconvenience for many however whenever you simply need to get right into a recreation rapidly, I appreciated 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 in all probability go together with the Luma Extremely’s if I needed to decide between the 2. For those who choose the look and metallic body of the Beast, you definitely received’t miss out on a lot. Both pair of glasses at present characterize in all probability the two greatest XR glasses you may get proper now at this value vary.
