If you ever see me on a plane or commuter train, you'll find me with a pair of XR glasses either watching videos or working with an expanded virtual workstation. Viture is one of my favorite brands in this space and its latest product, the Viture Luma Pro XR glasses push the technology forward even further.

The new Viture Luma Pro improves upon its predecessor, the Viture Pro, with an increased field-of-view, higher display resolution, an integrated camera for future functionality, and a new translucent glasses frame. The company also announced the Luma and Luma Ultra models launching later this year that will provide additional features.
Viture reports the new glasses have a 52-degree field of vision, as compared to the Viture Pro's 46 degrees. Even if you can't measure this precisely, when I bounced back and forth between the two glasses, I could clearly see more with the new pair. The Luma Pro also supports up to 1200p resolution, (also called "4K-like"), which improves upon the previous pair's 1080p resolution.

That being said, they don't run your phone dry, as I just flew across the country and used them for five hours straight streaming from a Galaxy S25 Ultra.
