Xreal ROG R1 AR Gaming Glasses 2026: Outpacing Vision Pro with 240Hz

A lightning-fast 240Hz refresh rate is coming to your face. At CES 2026, augmented reality leader Xreal responded to a crowded field of competitors by bringing out the big guns. While brands like TCL are fighting on price, Xreal is betting on sheer performance with the world's first micro-LED smart glasses that defy current industry standards.

Performance of the Xreal ROG R1 AR Glasses 2026

The showstopper is the ROG Xreal R1, a pair of AR gaming glasses developed in collaboration with Asus. According to Mashable's Timothy Werth, these glasses feature a 240Hz refresh rate—doubling the 120Hz peak of the $3,499 Apple Vision Pro. Tethered to a gaming handheld, the R1 handled Elden Ring with breathtaking clarity and smoothness, making the dream of a portable 171-inch floating gaming monitor a reality.

Real 3D: Instant Spatial Transformation

Xreal's second major innovation is Real 3D, an instant 2D-to-3D conversion tool. Unlike previous attempts by competitors that take seconds to process, Xreal’s system transforms UI icons, photos, and even 4K videos instantly. Powered by the X1 spatial computing chip, this feature is rolling out as a free over-the-air update for existing Xreal One Pro and the new 1S models, adding massive value to the current hardware lineup.
