Viture has solved the biggest problem of smart glasses.

Compact-sized smart glasses can provide a large virtual screen for enjoying movies and video games; however, there was a significant drawback: the inability to share the experience. But that has recently changed.

Viture has addressed one of the main drawbacks of smart glasses: the difficulty of sharing the experience. While the Viture One models are the best option for iPhone users, some of them feature electrochromic dimming that reduces ambient light and sharpness adjustments for those with myopia. However, watching a movie or playing together with these glasses remains complicated, a problem also present in the best virtual reality headsets. The need to enjoy movies or games with others is strong, and although I love the Viture One model, the new Viture Pro is even brighter and better.

The fact is that sharing experiences with smart glasses is often a challenge, as they are generally used individually. I have attempted to synchronize playback between two pairs of Viture glasses, but this quickly leads to timing issues, especially if a pause is made for a snack or a break. The disconnection at these moments is uncomfortable, highlighting the need to share a single video stream while using these glasses.

The Viture Mobile Dock is an interesting solution that allows connecting two pairs of Viture glasses, facilitating the viewing of a shared virtual screen. Compatible with any device that has a USB-C output, this dock offers a practical alternative for enjoying videos as a couple. For example, I have been able to comfortably watch videos outdoors while moderating ambient light with the electrochromic dimmer that the glasses offer.

With just two pairs of glasses, my phone, and the Pro Mobile Dock, I can enjoy content playback easily. This dock has a battery capacity of 13,000 mAh, which means it doesn't drain the phone's battery and can be used to charge it. Each person can individually adjust the volume and brightness using the controls on the glasses.

Although the Viture Mobile Dock improves the experience by allowing the sharing of a large virtual screen, there is still room for improvement. Currently, it allows the connection of only two pairs of glasses, but it can be expanded by connecting multiple Pro Mobile Docks together. Viture has confirmed that it is possible to link up to four docks and four pairs of glasses in this way, providing greater flexibility.

The Viture Pro Mobile Dock is an excellent option for those who own Viture models, as it simplifies the process of sharing content and maximizes the battery life of the devices. Moreover, its power allows it to be used with other brands and is energy efficient. In terms of charging time, the dock recharges in 2.4 hours with a 20-watt adapter, and it is available for $130, making it an attractive option for those looking to enjoy content together through smart glasses.
