If you want to really immerse yourself in your games, there’s nothing better than having the screen in your face. VR headsets are a good example of this, but if you prefer to keep things 2D, there’s always gaming glasses. They look like regular glasses, except the lenses are replaced by screens, giving you a front-row view of everything that’s happening in the game.
Of course, given how hardware manufacturers have to squeeze a screen into something as small as a goggle lens, they’re usually not as powerful as a full gaming monitor. However, ROG is ready to change that. The company has introduced the XREAL R1 gaming glasses, which manage to pack 240Hz micro-OLED into a comfortable pair of glasses.
