From the first shipment of VITURE One XR Glasses to our backers on the last day of 2022 to the big announcement of the new VITURE One Lite on the first day of 2024 (more on this later), it’s been a big year for our team, our community, and the tech world alike.

We’ve watched our already-impressive Kickstarter following expand to include thousands and thousands of new users taking VITURE One all over the world.

Our communities on Reddit, Discord, and other social media platforms have swelled with active participants showing the creative ways they’re making our XR Glasses their own.

The love you’ve shown our product is more than we’d ever hoped for!

2023's Awards & Accolades

2023 was a huge year for VITURE in the media and conference circuit.

Hot off the tail of 2022’s TIME’s Best Inventions win, VITURE One started drawing the attention of other design boards including receipt of the 2023 Good Design Award, 2023 iF Design Award, being named a 2023 Red Dot winner, and an honoree spot among the 2023 CES Innovation Awards.

VITURE One drew the attention of many prestigious publications as well, with spotlights in Popular Mechanics, CNET, and Wired as well as being heavily featured in gamer-favorite publications like PCMag, Laptop, and MMORPG.org.

Many recognized VITURE One as Editor’s Choice, and the XR Glasses were even named “Best AR Glasses” in Popular Mechanics' 2023 Gadget Awards, "The Best" in XDA Developers,“Best Smart Glasses” in Mashable's Choice Awards, and "Best Dimmable AR Glasses" in PCMag's roundup.

We don’t want to brag, but the consensus among the community is clear: VITURE One is the top of the ever-growing XR industry.

Teamwork Is Dreamwork

And where would we be without our partners and fellow futurists who’ve hyped us up this year?

From NBA All-Star Gordon Hayward to top YouTubers BeatEmUps and Cinemassacre and even smaller yet fiercely loyal creators like Pixel Deck Gaming and VRGamerDude, fans of the brand have spent 2023 telling the world all about VITURE One.

This holiday season, we collaborated with artists and makers like Bakea, Gawx, and VuxVux to release a series of limited edition Lens Shades — a great way for VITURE users to add a practical piece to their XR kit while also supporting their favorite creators.

And of course, one of our biggest partners of all: Amazon.

We’re incredibly thankful to have finally expanded our storefront to include the world’s largest retailer this year, helping us bring VITURE One to new and returning users alike faster and easier than ever!

The Growing Family

VITURE One XR Glasses started shipping at the beginning of the year. The Mobile Dock & Neckband followed soon after. But 2023 has taken us beyond the original trio of devices we planned in the early days.

This year’s greatest addition to our ecosystem is SpaceWalker, our free iOS app powering the first and only XR experience on iPhone.

SpaceWalker brought an entirely unique way to use VITURE One for Apple users and something most have only ever seen before in science fiction movies — a multiscreen XR experience for productivity on the go, a personal private cinema in your pocket, and even niche features like VR video support and compatibility with Apple’s new spatial video released with iOS 17.2.

We started developing SpaceWalker before Apple confirmed that the iPhone 15 would have USB-C, but we (as well as many in our community) were delighted that VITURE One worked with it right out of the box.

Still, we wanted to make sure this exciting new experience would work for users with older phones too, so we designed the HDMI XR Adapter for iPhone 14 & older models to make sure that the Lightning port didn’t stand in the way of unlocking your phone’s XR potential.

It also turned out that there was even more we could do with the iPhone 15 with a little help from an external adapter, so we also released an optional USB-C XR Charging Adapter for SpaceWalker power users.

But while SpaceWalker is certainly the most exciting new release of the year, let’s not forget about our Neckband companion app (available on both Android & iOS), the limited edition collaboration series Lens Shades mentioned above, and official VITURE swag for decking out your XR kit.

To The Future — 2024 & Beyond!

With all the growth, expansion and innovations we’ve talked about here, more and more people are seeing the future of on-the-go entertainment and seeing the possibilities brought on by XR.

We saw a record-setting holiday turnout this year (our first backed by Prime shipping), so we know there were many, many smiling faces finding a little piece of the future under the tree last week.

But our New Year's resolution is to make it more accessible for everyone. With that goal in mind, we're happy to introduce VITURE One Lite!

The premium choice of XR glasses is now more affordable for everyone.

With standard USB-C input and non-dimmable outer lenses, this new option is still compatible with all the same devices yet much more attainable for the average user — nearly $100 less than our full-featured glasses!

And best of all, one of our most popular Kickstarter colors is back for a limited time!

If you've been thinking about another pair of VITURE glasses, there's never been a better time!

VITURE One Lite is now available for preorder and will start shipping in January. We've also brought the Neckband in Marshmallow back for a limited time, but quantities are very limited!

Reserve your VITURE One Lite now.‍

It’s been an incredible year and the future is looking even brighter — we think we can make 2024 even better.

But more than anything, we’re thankful for the community that’s come together and supported us the entire way.

Thank you for making 2023 great!
