Recently, an AR glasses called Viture One was launched on the crowdfunding website KickStarter, and the reservation exceeded $150,000 in less than 12 hours, refreshing the booking record of AR products in the United States in recent years, and completing the crowdfunding goal in less than 24 hours.
Viture is a San Francisco-based company co-founded by XR experts from Google, Apple and the digital marketing director of American fashion company Revive. Its AR Glasses Viture One was created in collaboration with London-based design studio Layer to strike a balance between fashion accessories and wearable tech products.
It is reported that Viture One is lightweight, stylish, easy to store, weighing only 78g, using Birdbath solution, optional neck hanging + magnetic computing module (with counting as an all-in-one machine), focusing on providing AAA gamers and video enthusiasts with immersive big-screen experience. In addition, Viture One is the first Google Android TV licensed wearable device, pre-installed with all your favorite streaming services, game platforms, and supported by the Google Play Store.
Layer studio founder Benjamin Hubert called it minimalist design and said: "Apple is entering this field, you will see this trend, but also means that future AR products will become smaller and smaller." Everyone is tracking the evolution towards ordinary glasses, or contact lenses, and now we're taking the first step.
Viture One starts at $399 on Kickstarter and goes up to $629. Based on the current crowdfunding situation, its $629 product has the highest number of pre-orders, and the estimated delivery time is October 2022.
Viture One has been touting the gameplay of cloud games and cloud streaming games (local console and PC), which is not new, but there are few AR glasses that are currently played like this. The core logic is still ThatViture One is an all-in-one machine, through the installation of the App can achieve the real cloud to play console games, but also through the Xbox or PS official App to achieve local streaming console games, you can also use Steam Link to achieve local PC games and so on.
