The VITURE Luma Ultra or the VITURE Beast Glasses?
If you’re diving into the brave new world of smart glasses and trying to decide between the VITURE Luma Ultra and the VITURE Beast Glasses, you’re in the right spot. These cutting-edge devices are making waves in the XR community, each with its own strengths and quirks. Whether you’re a gamer, a productivity ninja, or just someone who loves tech, this guide will help you figure out which pair might be your next go-to gadget.
Which Pair is Best for Gamers?
VITURE Luma Ultra
- Pros: If you’re a gamer, you know the importance of speed and comfort. With its lightweight design and 120Hz refresh rate, the Luma Ultra is built for those fast-paced sessions. It’s like having a sleek sports car on your face - agile and ready for action. You can enable 3DoF or even 6DoF with these, but only with-in software. This means that depending on your gaming device (i.e. PS5, Switch, etc), or if your PC isn't powerful enough to handle the game and SpaceWalker at the same time, resulting in 0DoF (screen fixed to your face).
- Cons: However, if you’re after a fully immersive experience, the Luma Ultra’s 52° field of view (FoV) is less than the Beast's. With the Beast still unavailable for testing, it's hard to say what we can expect but the Ultra's FoV feels adequate, any larger and you will have to move your eyes around a bit, especially for reading edge-of-screen UI elements.
VITURE Beast Glasses
- Pros: Enter the Beast Glasses, boasting a higher FoV and true built in 3DoF tracking. You can now use any device and enable 3DoF pinning right on the glasses. These features are your passport to a more engaging and spatially aware gaming adventure. Finally you can move your head around and feel like the screen is far larger than the displays themselves.
- Cons: The downside? They reportedly weigh a bit more and consume more power, which could cut your gaming marathon short. Additionally, you won't get high end 6DOF
Which Pair is Best for Productivity?
VITURE Luma Ultra
- Pros: For those who live by their to-do lists, the Luma Ultra’s slightly lighter design and 6DoF functionality are real god-sends. Because you have 6DoF, you can pin screens and lean in or out to see better. This is important if you're dealing with image editing, or occassionally reading small text, just like in real-life.
- Cons: Some devices don't support SpaceWalker (e.g. Samsung DEX). It's possible you'll want more FoV but you'll likely appreciate the pixel density of the Ultras over the Beast, especially if you do any kind of image editing.
VITURE Beast Glasses
- Pros: For multitaskers, the Beast Glasses’ larger FoV is like having a panoramic workspace. This is especially true if you use Samsung DEX or some other device that doesn't support SpaceWalker.
- Cons: Their heavier design might make them less appealing for those looking for all-day sessions. There's no out-of-box 6DoF, and if we get it, it'll be using one camera instead of the three on the Ultras, likely resulting in a less stable experience.
Is the Extra FoV on the Beasts Really Worth It?
The added FoV on the Beast Glasses can transform your experience, especially if you’re into gaming or viewing things as if the content is scaled to IMAX levels. It’s the difference between a home cimema and a large theater. But remember, this comes with trade-offs, mostly in pixel density, weight and lacking 6DoF. So, weigh these factors against your needs-pun intended!
Do You Need Built-in 3DoF That the Beast Offers?
3DoF tracking is a game-changer for those who crave interaction and immersion. It makes the Beast Glasses ideal for gaming and virtual reality applications. But if your world is more spreadsheets than space battles, or you're always tethered to a powerful device that supports SpaceWalker, you might find this feature unnecessary.
Conclusion
In the end, choosing between the VITURE Luma Ultra and the VITURE Beast Glasses boils down to what you value most. Gamers might lean towards the Beast Glasses for their immersive capabilities, while productivity seekers might prefer the streamlined efficiency of the Luma Ultra. Consider your priorities, and remember, there’s no wrong choice; only what’s right for you.
