Playing on a 120-inch screen on the move? This is what the Viture One promises… and its Kickstarter breaks records

Over $2.6 million was raised on KickStarter for these rather enticing Viture One XR goggles.

Some Kickstarter campaigns explode the budget initially set. This is the case with Viture One XR glasses (extended reality glasses). Seven days before the deadline, the project has raised more than $2.6 million obtained from 4,366 contributors.

The Viture One weigh 77 grams, a weight almost equivalent to that of TCL’s NXTWEAR G (75 grams). They incorporate a directional speaker located in one of the branches.

In terms of connectivity, alone, these glasses can connect to any device with a USB-C port: Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch and other Android smartphones, to name a few machines.
