With the Luma series, Viture is presenting a new generation of display glasses in four variants aimed at different target groups. The devices will be released in stages between July and October 2025 and range from the affordable basic model to the high-end system with triple camera and prism optics.

With the Luma series, Viture is in direct competition with Xreal and its One series. This device class is aimed less at typical smart glasses functions such as AI assistance and more at media playback on virtual displays floating in space. All Luma models use Sony micro OLEDs with 1920 Ă— 1200 pixels per eye. According to the manufacturer, the displays should offer 50 percent more sharpness than the previous series and display content clearly even in daylight thanks to their high brightness. Viture states that the brightness can reach up to 1250 nits depending on the device and can be adjusted in nine levels.

According to Viture, the display is sharp across the entire surface and there should be no color fringing or distortion. This was precisely the weakest point of previous generations of display glasses. The virtual screens became increasingly blurred towards the edges, suffered from fading and were barely visible outdoors on bright summer days.

From the Pro model onwards, Viture relies on Harman speakers integrated into the temples for spatial sound. Electrochromatic dimming can be activated at the touch of a button on all models. Depending on the model, USB-C ports or a magnetic connection for the connection cable are available. Interesting for spectacle wearers: there is a built-in diopter adjustment up to -6D. This is controlled via two dials on the frame above the lenses.

Vitures SpaceWalker app, which is available for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS, handles media playback and the conversion of 2D videos into 3D. It supports streaming services such as Netflix or Disney+ and allows multiple virtual displays to be used simultaneously.

Supported devices include Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, PC, Mac, PlayStation, Android and iOS devices. The Switch 2 requires an adapter solution or the optionally available Viture Pro Mobile Dock for 129 dollars. Two display glasses can also be plugged into this, which then see the same output image. However, native hardware 6DoF is only available on the Beast model. The other variants use software and external dongles for tracking, which can lead to higher latency.

The most affordable model, the Viture Luma, will be available in September for 399 US dollars. It offers a 50-degree field of view, 120 Hz and a virtual display that is roughly equivalent to looking at a 146-inch diagonal from a distance of three meters. There are no cameras for room tracking, but there is the option of motion detection via an additional software solution and an optional intermediate device. A USB-C port is built in for connection to a smartphone, laptop or handheld device.

The Luma Pro will be delivered in July and costs 499 US dollars. Its field of vision is slightly larger at 52 degrees and the virtual display measures 152 inches. It offers software-based 6DoF tracking, RGB lighting effects in the frame and comes in two sizes. A front camera, which sits in the temple between the lenses, is designed to enable simple spatial interactions in Viture's own OS. The diopter adjustment only goes up to -4D.

Viture also has a device for professional applications in the form of the Luma Ultra. It costs 599 US dollars and will be released in August. In addition to higher brightness (1250 instead of 1000 nits), it has a triple camera system with RGB and depth sensors as well as AI integration. It also features 6DoF motion detection and diopter adjustment (-4D). The manufacturer lists collaborative planning, AI training and virtual room inspections as areas of application.

The most powerful model, "The Beast", does without optical diopter correction and instead relies on inserts for spectacle wearers. Instead, it offers the largest field of view at 58 degrees and the largest screen area in the series at 173 inches. As with the Ultra, the brightness is 1250 nits. An integrated chip handles 6DoF tracking directly in the hardware. It also features Prism optics, which, according to Viture, should ensure particularly clear edges. The price is 549 US dollars and the market launch is in October.
