Not for me, thanks very much.
The Asus ROG Xreal Micro-OLED gaming glasses are. weird. This is the conclusion I’ve drawn after spending ten minutes with them at CES 2026, so take that as you will. However, it was enough time to realise that, while on paper they seem like they might be a good idea, in practice, it’s. complicated.
The idea is, you get a virtual 177-inch monitor beamed in front of your eyeballs via a Micro-OLED display within the glasses, covering 95% of your vision with a 57-degree field of view of excellent gaming fidelity. Why have a massive screen on your wall, when you can have a tiny one that creates the same effect in a wearable form factor?
Mmm. We’ll get on to that in a minute, because I’ve got some ergonomic issues to discuss first.
For a start, there’s a substantial cable attached to the rear of the left arm, which makes putting them on a very awkward event. I did it in public and nearly poked myself in the eye, as the glasses seem destined to fall in on themselves as you bring them towards your face.
