The entry-level model in Viture’s Luma line of AR personal display smart glasses certainly doesn't feel like it. Priced at $399, the Luma costs $100 less than the Pro version I tested last year, and its in-lens 1200p display is just as bright. Though its field of view is slightly narrower, it still has dimmable external lenses and built-in focus dials, so you don’t need to worry about getting prescription lens inserts if you're nearsighted. You won't miss the only features it gives up from the Pro: a currently non-functioning camera and accent lights on the temples. If you aren’t nearsighted and want to save some money, the RayNeo Air 3s Pro ($299), our Editors’ Choice among budget models, is a solid alternative with a bright, colorful picture. Otherwise, the Viture Luma is the best pair of AR smart glasses you can manually focus, earning it our Editors’ Choice award.
Design: The Luma Pro Look, Without the Gimmicks
If you're not familiar, AR personal display smart glasses connect to a source device like a phone or a laptop over USB, and project whatever's on the screen privately into your eyes. It's like a wearable USB-C monitor or a private big screen, and it's very useful for watching movies, playing games, or working on a larger display than your phone or tablet, without prying eyes watching over your shoulder.
In terms of design, the Luma looks almost exactly the same as the Luma Pro, with a matte black plastic frame around the lenses and dark gray, translucent temples. The only visible change from the front is that the glossy spot above the nose pads is blank, whereas on the Pro, it houses a tiny camera lens. The camera on the Luma Pro is completely unused, so there’s no real loss there.

Second, the end of the right earhook features a standard USB-C port rather than the proprietary magnetic pogo connector on the higher-end glasses. I found the Luma Pro’s lighting to be an underwhelming gimmick, and I actually prefer a USB port to a magnetic connector since it’s harder to accidentally tug free.
Otherwise, the Luma is physically the same unassuming and comfortable pair of smart glasses as the Luma Pro. It weighs a mere 2.7 ounces, less than a tenth of an ounce lighter than the Luma Pro, with the same spring hinges and smooth, rounded contours that make both glasses easy to wear. A button on the right temple, near the hinge, dims and lightens the exterior lenses, while a button and rocker on the left temple adjust volume and brightness.
Features: Useful Vision Adjustments, Limited Smart Capabilities

Dials on the top of the glasses let you adjust the lenses' focus, correcting myopia up to -6.0 in each eye. This is actually better than the Luma Pro, which only corrects up to -4.0. Be aware that if your eyes are widely spaced, both models’ regular versions support an IPD of 64/±6.0mm, but only the Luma Pro has a larger version with an IPD up to 74mm.

The Luma keeps another premium feature from its more expensive sibling: electrochromatic exterior lenses. You can press a button on the temple to adjust the lens tint, based on whether you want to block out visual distractions or stay aware of your surroundings. It’s a welcome feature, especially if you want to use the glasses in a bright location.
Like the Pro, the Luma has built-in motion sensors but doesn’t use them on its own, so in most cases, whatever you’re watching will be locked in front of your eyes. The sensors can be used with Viture’s SpaceWalker app (available for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac) to enable an immersive mode that uses head-tracking to keep the picture locked in place as you move your head, plus an ultra-wide monitor mode and 2D-to-3D conversion. The software is very limited and unwieldy, though. Plus, the XReal 1S ($449) and One Pro ($649) have all those features built into the glasses themselves, so you don't need an app. Viture's higher-end Beast glasses ($549), which I’m currently testing, also have onboard head tracking.
Connectivity: Plug-and-Play USB-C With Broad Device Support
The Viture Luma uses a wired USB-C connection to display video sent from any device that can output DisplayPort video over USB-C. This includes almost all laptops, most Android phones and tablets, and all iPhones and iPads from the iPhone 15 and after. It doesn’t work with Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 consoles on its own, but several adapters are available, like Viture’s $129 Pro Mobile Dock. The Pro Mobile Dock can convert video from the Switch's USB-C port into a signal the Luma can use, and also provides power to the system as an external battery.
Picture Quality: Bright, Colorful, and Almost as Wide as the Pro
(Credit: Will Greenwald)Visually, the Luma barely falls behind the Pro. It has the same bright 1,000-nit, 1200p (1,920 by 1,200) visual specs, just with a slightly narrower 50-degree field of view to the Pro’s 52 degrees. Those two degrees are almost impossible to notice, especially when comparing either glasses to their predecessor, the Viture Pro, which has a narrower 46-degree field of view. On the other end of the spectrum, the XReal One Pro offers a much wider 57-degree field of view. The smaller and bigger displays are clear in those cases, but to my eyes, the Luma and Luma Pro offer just about the same comfortably large picture.
Colors are accurate and saturated, doing justice to the bright vibrance of Frieren on Crunchyroll on my iPad Air and the dark gloominess of Ball x Pit on my Switch 2 via an adapter. Even when the lenses are transparent, the picture is bright enough to cut through most well-lit environments, like our test lab in New York City, which features white walls and overhead lighting. The lens darkening is a boon, though, as turning on the tint makes the image really pop against the dark background. It’s a fairly common feature for prism smart glasses, but always useful, and better than the either permanently affixed or physically removable sunshades found on cheaper smart glasses like the RayNeo Air 3s and Air 3s Pro.
