I've used nearly every major pair of smart glasses over the past few years and can confidently say that 2024 is the best year yet to buy a pair. In fact, my favorite pair of smart display glasses, Viture One, is on sale for $299 at Amazon right now, making them $140 off the regular price.

This was originally a Prime Day sale but it's been so successful that Viture and Amazon have kept the discounted price around for a while. We don't know when they'll change their mind but, for now, you can take advantage of the best smart glasses sale we've ever seen on the best smart glasses!

You've probably seen those ads where a pair of glasses can give you a 200-inch "TV" when you plug them into any device, right? Smart display glasses are some of the coolest pieces of tech in the modern age, and they can seriously save your neck from looking down while playing games or using a laptop.

Looking down at a laptop or portable games console for hours on end can cause serious neck pain. That's why you need a pair of Viture One glasses! Plug these into the USB-C port on your laptop, Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, or other favorite device, and get a 120-inch full HD virtual display right in front of your face. And with this $140 discount, you'll be feeling good while freeing yourself from neck pain.

Nintendo Switch players can also grab a pair of Viture One glasses on sale for Prime Day, but you'll need to get this dock pack to make it work. The Viture dock tricks your Switch into thinking it's docked to a TV, meaning you get full 1080p resolution and enhanced graphics while still maintaining the portability of the Switch. Plus, the 13,000mAh battery in the dock ensures that you get even more hours of gaming time! Just clip that $40 off coupon on the Amazon store listing to get the discount.

Viture makes my favorite smart glasses for several reasons, but the biggest one is that the company doesn't use PWM dimming at high brightness. I'm PWM sensitive which means flickering lights give me headaches and can make me nauseous. Unfortunately, for me, that means the OLED displays in many smart glasses make me feel awful.

Thankfully, Viture has considered this and ensured that their glasses work differently from most others, making them my go-to recommendation for anyone looking to get into the smart glasses game. They also have built-in myopia adjustment wheels so folks with myopia can adjust the lenses up to -5.0D.

As you might expect, smart display glasses act just like a monitor strapped to your face. They're substantially smaller than a VR headset, making them easier to take on flights. I've worked many hours from the comfort of my glasses, typically reclining in a comfortable chair instead of hunched over a keyboard.

Gamers should consider picking up a Viture One Dock, which is still on sale for $89 after Prime Day. This dock doubles as a massive 13,000mAh battery for any gaming console so you can play and charge at the same time. It works perfectly for the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, giving you a big comfy display on the go instead of craning your neck down at your handheld!

Viture also makes a piece of software called SpaceWalker that adds AR capabilities to your glasses with a compatible phone or computer. SpaceWalker for Windows was just released, and SpaceWalker for Android works with many of the best Android phones.

You can also get SpaceWalker on iOS or Mac, meaning your Viture glasses will work with AR capabilities on nearly every device you own.

    Aside for the reviewer, how many regular people are actually buying these gimmick glasses? I'd be shocked if there are over 100 out in the real world.

  • me just saying
    I have a several pairs of smartglasses, but only for listening to audiobooks. I originally purchased them a few years ago since nobody knew what they were, so I was able to wear them while working. There were rules against earbuds ;-)

    I do not have any that has cameras or screens, nor do I want those. I have two pairs of echo frames and a pair of lucyd frames.
