Viture XR/AR Glasses are on sale for Cyber Monday at Amazon. This high-tech wearable is one of the coolest accessories for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The most notable deal is on the recently released Viture Luma Pro XR/AR. Released at the end of August for $499, the Luma Pro XR is on sale for $424 (was $499). As an added bonus, you’ll get a free translucent black Viture x 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller ($39 value). Simply add the glasses and controller to your cart to get an additional $39 discount at checkout.
If you don’t want to spend quite that much, Viture’s last-gen Pro XR is available for $284 (was $459) with a free translucent clear 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Controller. Simply add the glasses and controller to your cart to get an additional $39 discount at checkout.
If you’re unfamiliar with XR technology, Viture XR Glasses are essentially wearable projectors. The Luma Pro XR creates a 152-inch 1200p display, and the Pro XR has a 135-inch 1080p display. Both models boast 120Hz refresh rates. You can connect the glasses to your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet, or game console to play games, watch movies, or get some work done. The glasses are plug-and-play on PC/Mac, tablets, smartphones, Steam Deck, Windows handhelds. With Viture’s free Spacewalker app on PC/Mac and mobile, you can use your smartphone as a hub and set up three smaller displays instead of the one large screen.
To use Viture XR Glasses on Switch 1/2, you need the Pro Mobile Dock, which is on sale for $99 (was $129) and comes with a free mount for Switch and Switch OLED. Viture recently released a mount for Switch 2–the freebie only works on original Switch hardware.

Viture says the 152-inch 1200p simulated display is 50% sharper picture than the Pro XR. I have used both models, and the technological leap forward is certainly noticeable, especially if you want to use your XR glasses for productivity in addition to gaming and entertainment.
The Luma Pro offers a markedly improved experience when it comes to reading and writing. The 52-degree field of view is easier on the eyes than the Pro’s 46-degree FOV, and the enhanced brightness helps with focusing on small points of interest like letters and numbers. Multi-screen support via Spacewalker includes the ability to rotate the display from horizontal to vertical orientation. It also has a screen mode designed specifically for programmers.
Electrochromic film on the lenses keeps your screen private from those around you. The lenses do a great job of blocking out glare, allowing you to use them comfortably in different environments.
The built-in speakers are better on the Luma Pro thanks to a redesign by the engineers at Harman Audio.
The Luma Pro XR comes in regular and large sizes, both of which have translucent black frames. Adjustments can be made to the fit by bending the arms, swapping the magnetic nose pads, and tilting the temples. It also has a myopia adjustment dial for users with corrective vision.
As mentioned, you’ll also get the translucent black Viture x 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller for free with the glasses. The Ultimate 2C is compatible with Switch, Switch 2, PC, and mobile devices. It has Hall Effect sticks and two extra remappable shoulder buttons.
$99 (was $129) | Includes free Switch mount
Discounted by $30 for Cyber Monday, the Viture Pro Mobile Dock is a hybrid USB-C hub and battery pack, so it’s useful for extending the range on home devices while also improving the battery life of mobile devices and handhelds that are connected to the glasses. To be clear, the Mobile Dock is required to use the Viture Pro XR Glasses on Nintendo consoles.
As mentioned, you’ll get the Switch mount for free. The mount connects the Mobile Dock to the back of the Nintendo Switch or Switch OLED.
The new Switch 2 mount isn’t included in the promotion, but you can buy it for $30 at Best Buy (it’s sold out at Amazon). The mount is optional, because you can just let the Mobile Dock rest on your lap or a table. That said, most players will probably wind up wanting a mount, especially if they take it on the go.
The Mobile Dock isn’t required for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or desktop PCs, but unless you’re always gaming at your desk, you’ll probably want the Mobile Dock.
$284 (was $459)
The Pro XR is still a great piece of tech. The simulated 135-inch 1080p display is great for gaming and watching movies/TV. We reviewed the Pro XR at launch last summer and were quite impressed. Amazon’s $284 deal is an all-time low for the Pro XR. That said, if you want to use your glasses for productivity tasks, the Luma Pro XR is the better option.
128GB: $249 (was $299) | 256GB: $328 (was $399)
Another optional accessory is the pricey but very cool Viture Pro Neckband. At first glance, it looks like one of those neckbands with built-in speakers, but it’s basically a tiny computer that you wear like a necklace.
The Pro Neckband is a game and video streaming device with a powerful CPU, an AI voice assistant, and built-in cameras for gesture controls. It connects to the Viture Pro glasses, allowing you to play PlayStation, Xbox, and PC games remotely or through cloud streaming without your phone or another device.
While it has additional integration with the mobile app, the Neckband can be used on its own when plugged into the Viture Pro XR Glasses and synced to a compatible wireless controller. You can view up to three screens at the same time and use gestures to interact with apps.
In terms of streaming apps, Viture is partnered with the third-party PlayStation remote play app PSPlay. It also supports XBXPlay for Xbox Series X|S and the popular app Moonlight for PC game streaming. It’s also compatible with various video streaming apps, including YouTube, HBO Max, Apple TV+, and Netflix.
The Pro Neckband is available in two models. The base model has 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. It’s on sale for $249 (was $299) when you click the coupon box below the price. Alternatively, you can get the model with 12GB RAM and a 256GB SSD for $328 (was $399).
