Viture already has some of the best smart glasses with displays currently available. However, the market is maturing, and accessories that expand capabilities are becoming important as well — which is where the company’s newest release comes in: the Pro Neckband.
The Pro Neckband expands the features of Viture’s smart glasses, while also adding extra battery life. The current way of using the Viture smart glasses is by using the Spacewalker app for iOS and Android, which lets Viture glasses display multiple virtual screens, browse the web, and view content, though it can’t run any other apps. That limits what’s possible.
The Pro Neckband changes that. It’s a standalone Android device that Viture says can run “millions of apps” in a multi-window spatial computing environment. Viture describes it as “all the level-ups you have been waiting for.”
The Pro Neckband does a similar thing as Xreal’s Beam Pro, which adds advanced features found in Apple’s Vision Pro headset, as well as Rokid’s AR Lite, and includes a separate compute puck so you don’t need to connect your phone.
While VR headsets like the Meta Quest 3S borrowed AR features with advanced mixed-reality technology, Viture smart glasses paired with the Pro Neckband incorporate what was once a VR feature: hand-tracking.
To control the Pro Neckband, you simply use your hands. Viture added sensors that recognize hand gestures so you can move or resize windows and interact with apps by using wave and pinch motions.
If you’re familiar with the original Neckband, Viture says the Pro Neckband is seven times faster and has 40 times the GPU performance while being lighter and offering a longer battery life. The unnamed 6nm 8-core processor supports up to 12GB of memory, 256GB of storage, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi 6E.
That’s plenty of RAM for its AI assistant Vizard, and enough space to load it up with your favorite games and movies. You can stream from YouTube, Netflix, and more, watching 3D movies or using Viture’s AI to turn 2D videos into 3D.
We’re eager to go hands-on with this new accessory that could make Viture One and Pro smart glasses into one of the best wearable AR devices.
Check back for our full review. In the meantime, you can learn more about the Pro Neckband and preorder it now on Viture’s website.
Google just dropped its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, designed to tackle complex coding jobs and cybersecurity threats. The company claims it can work through difficult engineering problems for days, finding hidden bugs and developing fixes across large codebases.
Gemini 4 Carbon also takes the top spot on Artificial Analysis' updated Intelligence Index, scoring 59 points, pushing out Claude Opus 5.5, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, and even its own predecessor Gemini 4 Argon.
Apple has just introduced a redesigned MacBook Pro with a few bells and whistles. The focus this time around is on a thinner and lighter build, and an upgrade to a touch-sensitive OLED screen without any ugly notch. And, in case you were wondering, there is definitely a price premium to pay for these niceties, which also include a glowing Apple logo at the back. What if you wanted to get the best that Apple has to offer? Well, the numbers are finally here.
For a mere $14,549, you can get yourself the fully kitted 16-inch MacBook Pro PROLED XDR with the beefiest laptop chip that Apple has to offer, and the best memory configuration in tow. For nearly $15,000, you treat yourself to the 16-inch version of the laptop with a nano-texture glass layer on the screen to reduce reflections and glare.
Apple has unveiled its first-ever touchscreen MacBook Pro. The company seems a bit confused about the naming, calling it the "MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display," which is tough to remember. If you look past that and review the full spec sheets, you might ask a genuine question: what are the differences between the touchscreen and non-touchscreen versions?
Given that Apple continues to sell both variants together, that's a genuine question. Luckily, you don't have to spend more time lining up the spec sheets side by side and hunting for differences hidden in the fine print. I took that bullet for you. Here's everything that's different between the PROLED XDR Display and the regular MacBook Pro.
