VITURE reveals Phantom Beast XR glasses collaboration

VITURE has revealed the Phantom Beast, a pair of XR glasses developed in collaboration with S-GAME around Phantom Blade Zero. The product continues the growing convergence between mobile hardware, portable gaming and wearable displays. XR glasses can connect to phones and handheld systems to create a large virtual screen without requiring users to carry a conventional monitor. That makes them particularly interesting for gaming while traveling, where screen size traditionally limits the experience.

Gaming-themed collaborations also help manufacturers distinguish hardware that can otherwise look extremely similar from one brand to another. The more important questions concern optical clarity, comfort and software compatibility. Glasses need to remain light enough for long sessions while maintaining stable positioning and readable edges across the entire virtual display. Mobile devices also have to supply video without draining their batteries excessively.

VITURE has already built a substantial audience around portable display glasses, so the Phantom Beast represents an expansion of an existing category rather than an experimental first product. Gamescom provides a natural environment for demonstrating that use case directly to players.
