My favorite XR glasses just got hand gesture controls thanks to this useful accessory

Over the past year I have tested several different XR glasses, and the Viture Pro XR glasses are my preferred model thanks to their diopter dial, lens darkening feature, big display, and superb SpaceWalker application for iOS, MacOS, and Windows. The Viture Pro glasses are a perfect gift for regular travelers and those who want to get work done on the road. They are also on sale during Black Friday for just $399.

I have tested a few accessories for the Viture glasses, but I have yet to try the Neckband that serves up content without having to connect to your smartphone or computer. The Neckband runs on Android and has an integrated battery for a few hours of video content or gaming.

Viture today announced the Viture Pro Neckband, which improves upon the first version by including more RAM, more storage, a longer battery life, hand gesture controls, and more. Preorders start now, with shipping starting in December.

The Viture Pro Neckband comes in two flavors: the Classic Version for $299, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and the Elite version for $399, with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The Neckband Pro is 20% lighter with 50% more battery life compared to the Neckband, while also minimizing noise and heat buildup. The Pro also supports Wi-Fi 6E, so you can load up content for offline viewing or stream your favorite shows and games.

Viture's Vizard wireless voice assistant is also now powered by ChatGPT, so you can get answers while gaming with the Pro Neckband. You can ask things like, "How do I beat Venom in Spider-Man 2?" Viture states that it will continuously optimize and update Vizard as new gaming titles are released.

The Pro Neckband supports multiple screens without requiring any adapter, and 3DoF, Smooth Follow, and Ambient modes for the best viewing experience.

Supported hand gestures include moving the cursor, resizing the display, scrolling, and hovering. It's the cameras on the front of the Pro Neckband that make the gestures possible.
