Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) and Xreal announce pre-orders for the ROG Xreal R1, positioned as the first AR gaming glasses with a 240Hz micro-OLED display. Multiple outlets report that the R1’s main differentiator is its 240Hz refresh rate for smoother motion in games. Digital Trends also describes key specifications including a 57-degree field of view, a virtual 171-inch screen, and a 3ms motion-to-photon latency. The devices are priced at $849, with availability through Best Buy and Xreal’s own store. Pre-orders open on 17 May on Xreal’s store, according to TNW. Worldwide shipping is scheduled to start on 1 June. While both sources focus on the performance claims and price, they largely align on launch timing, cost, and the headline technical specs associated with the glasses’ gaming use case.
