I got over one hour hands on to do whatever I wanted with the XReal R1, and I got to say I was impressed. Visually, the lenses seemed clearer than the XReal One Pro I just reviewed. No chromatic aberration. The overall clarity and brightness was not as good as my Luma Pro, but the excellent stability, auto transparency, and 240 hz refresh rate will probably make these glasses more desirable. That said, if they cost too much more, then the cheaper Luma Pro or Beast may be the better option. We'll have to see when we get the actual final production units in as the ones I tested were preproduction units.
