ASUS introduces its first wearable display with the AirVision M1

One of the entries presented at this year’s CES conference is ASUS‘ AirVision M1 glasses. While its name is reminiscent of Apple’s highly-anticipated Vision Pro, drawing considerable buzz, there are few similarities besides its wearable nature. Regardless, it’s another exciting addition to the eyewear tech race.

The digital glasses feature a 1080p Micro OLED display offering a sizeable 57-degree perspective field of view and built-in speakers. A wired USB Type-C connection ports to a phone or computer, delivering content to the screen over DisplayPort. Users can place two or more virtual screens within the display and can choose between different aspect ratios.

Below are the use case scenarios painted by ASUS:

Sometimes, you need extra display space, but you don’t have space for an extra display. Folks who get work done while flying on a business trip or while traveling on public transit, for example, could use a second screen for multitasking, but typically don’t have the elbow room to juggle more than a laptop. Perhaps you’d like to spend more time in the family room, but someone else in your household always claims the big screen. Or maybe there are moments when you need to work privately, as when you’re reading through confidential business materials while working at a local coffee shop. A dual-screen laptop or a portable display could meet your needs in one or more of these scenarios, but here’s a solution for all three: the ASUS AirVision M1 wearable display.

Adjustments can be made via a touchpad on the left side of the frame, allowing you to start or pause content as well, move around the virtual screens, activate 3D mode, and manually adjust brightness. An embedded sensor detects outside light conditions as well and turns the screen off when you’re not wearing the glasses. To keep your eyes comfortable during long-term use, you can adjust the strength of the blue light filter with four presets inside the app.

Coming inside the box are different nose pads attached via a quick-release design, a bundled light shield, prescription lens accessories, and a cleaning cloth.

Look for more details regarding the ASUS AirVision M1 to arrive emerge. Early estimates place the device in the $400 USD (approximately $3,200 HKD) range.
