Asus’ leaked new gaming glasses let you carry a 171-inch, 240Hz display in your pocket

Asus is introducing the Asus ROG Xreal R1 AR gaming glasses, which are the first-ever 240Hz gaming glasses, providing a viewing experience equivalent to a 171-inch screen from four meters away. They feature a vision-filling display, portable design, and a higher refresh rate with a distinctive ROG aesthetic. The glasses include "optical engines" for simultaneous real-world and projected display experiences, with outer lenses that use electrochromic technology to enhance contrast and image quality. Each arm has a Bose speaker system for audio without earbuds, and connectivity options include a USB cable, two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and two USB-C inputs. They have a 57-degree field of view, covering up to 95% of the focused viewing area, but the resolution is capped at 1080p. A now-removed webpage suggested a launch in the first half of 2026, with a price range similar to current Xreal glasses, which start at 9.

Best Optimized PC Games of 2025

In 2025, several well-optimized PC games have gained recognition for their technical performance across various hardware configurations. An optimized PC game efficiently utilizes multiple CPU cores, avoids common pitfalls like limited field of view and poor controls, validates high GPU demands while accommodating older graphics cards, and addresses stuttering issues. Ninja Gaiden 4 is noted for its responsive controls and smooth gameplay across various systems, despite not having cutting-edge visuals. Dynasty Warriors: Origins has shown exceptional performance on PC, overcoming its historical optimization challenges. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 offers broad compatibility and a stutter-free experience, though its visuals do not meet franchise standards. Stellar Blade runs smoothly on a range of systems with impressive graphics and robust controls, maintaining stable performance even with Denuvo protection. ARC Raiders, an Unreal Engine 5 game, has achieved smooth performance without stuttering issues. Dying Light: The Beast provides an open-world experience that runs well on modest GPU power for 1080p gaming. DOOM: The Dark Ages combines stunning visuals with remarkable performance, even during intense action. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 runs smoothly across a wide range of GPUs without significant stuttering. Battlefield 6 is well-optimized and stable without requiring high-end hardware. Atomfall is highlighted as the most optimized rasterized PC game of 2025, achieving 60 FPS at native 4K on Ultra Settings with older GPUs like the NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti.

I saw the future of Android XR smart glasses, and Google left me stunned at the progress

Last week, a demonstration of Android XR glasses took place at Google's Hudson River office, showcasing features such as visual assistance and gyroscopic navigation. These glasses are part of a developer kit for Android developers. Google aims to integrate these devices with Android phones and smartwatches by 2026. The strategy for AI glasses includes two types: one focusing on audio and camera features, and another incorporating a display for visual cues. Developer Preview 3 of the Android XR SDK is set to launch soon, supporting a wide range of existing third-party Android apps. The glasses can display navigation routes and driver information for Uber rides. Gemini, the assistant, provides contextual information immediately upon wearing the glasses. The Samsung Galaxy XR headset has new features like PC Connect and travel mode, while Xreal's Project Aura glasses offer a 70-degree field of view and access to Android apps. The anticipated price for Project Aura could be around ,000, with a potential late next year launch.

D&D’s new turn based tactics PC game should be a delight – but without VR, I’m not finding the fun

Demeo x Dungeons and Dragons: Battlemarked is a cooperative multiplayer strategy game set in D&D's Forgotten Realms, available on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Meta Quest, primarily designed for virtual reality (VR). The game features turn-based strategy gameplay with players choosing from various D&D classes and species, represented as virtual miniatures. It is not a virtual tabletop or a direct adaptation of D&D 5e rules. The graphics are low in polygon count but rich in character, and the game emphasizes quick play sessions without the discomfort of VR-induced nausea. The control scheme reflects its VR origins, requiring players to pick up and place figures, which feels cumbersome on a flat screen compared to other games. The game is set to release on November 20, and the reviewer notes that their experience has been limited to single-player due to illness in the office.

Windows 11’s Vision Pro-like remote desktop is now widely available on Quest 3

Microsoft has enhanced the Windows 11 remote desktop feature for Meta’s Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets, allowing users to project multiple high-resolution monitors into their headset and introducing an ultrawide mode. The feature was first previewed in December 2024 and has since been rolled out more broadly with the Horizon OS v81 update. Users can download the Mixed Reality Link application on their Windows computer to pair their headset. The integration allows interaction with the desktop display from the headset, and users can choose to immerse themselves in the virtual desktop or use passthrough technology. Additionally, users can rescale and resize displays across applications, utilize a Full Passthrough feature for environmental checks, and open up to 12 applications simultaneously for multitasking.
