Asus unveils 240 Hz Micro-OLED gaming glasses capable of a virtual 171-inch screen, but the resolution feels like a whiff

In the first few days of the year, Asus has come in with a pair of gaming glasses that may be a contender for worst-named tech product at CES 2026.

As reported by Wccftech, the Asus ROG Xreal R1 AR is a set of glasses with a 240 Hz Micro-OLED screen which projects a virtual 171-inch monitor that effectively sits 4 meters away. Asus reports the glasses can cover 95% of the "human focus area" with its 57-degree field of view.

The one spec that gives me pause here is the FHD resolution (aka 1080p).
