Viture's smart display glasses, also known as a wearable TV, are the only brand compatible with the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and they're finally on sale for Prime Day! Get a cool $120 off Viture Luma Pro XR glasses, then pair it with the 23% off Viture Pro Mobile Dock and enjoy the most comfortable portable Switch 2 gaming ever!

That Pro Mobile Dock comes with a free Switch 2 mount for Prime Day, and the Luma glasses all come with a free Pro-style controller, sweetening the deal even further. The Pro Mobile Dock attaches to your Switch 2 like the TV dock, but it's designed to be fully portable, so it's got a built-in battery to keep the play going longer and give you full Switch 2 docked power on the go.

You could also choose to pick up a pair of Viture Beast XR glasses, which add native 3DoF spatial tracking to the mix, but those aren't on sale for Prime Day despite what Amazon shows. They're the usual $549 price.

One of my least favorite things about modern mobile gaming systems is the weight. At over 530g, the Switch 2 is pretty heavy, and the Steam Deck makes that even worse with its 640g weight, making it uncomfortable to hold up for long gaming sessions. But what if you could play handheld without having to hold up the console at all? That's the joy of using a pair of smart glasses like Viture Luma with your system.

Grab any pair of Viture Luma glasses and pair it with a Viture Pro Mobile Dock to play Switch 2 games on a glorious 200-inch virtual display, powered by fantastic micro-OLED panels inside the glasses. It's going to change how you play!

🚨🚨Price Comparison🚨🚨

Viture Luma: $399 $339 at Viture

Viture Pro Mobile Dock: $129 $99 at Best Buy

✅Recommended if: You're tired of neck and arm pain from looking down at or holding up your Switch 2 for a long time, want an OLED display for your Switch 2, or want a private display that no one else around you can see (unlike the system's screen).

❌Skip this deal if: You don't like the idea of toting around more equipment for portable travel play.

Attaching more things to your Switch 2 might sound like the opposite of lowering the weight, but you don't hold a Switch 2 once it's docked since the controllers don't allow it to operate like that. Instead, you'll click the Viture Pro Mobile Dock together with the Switch 2, then set it down in your lap or somewhere else next to you and hold your controllers as if you were playing on a TV.

This is the only way to use smart glasses with a Switch or Switch 2, as Nintendo has specially coded the USB-C port on the system to only operate with authorized docks. That's a pain for other smart glasses, but a great thing for Viture, and the rewards don't stop there, either!

Viture's Pro Mobile Dock lets you connect two Viture glasses to it so you can play split-screen multiplayer games on your Switch 2 while sitting at the airport, on an airplane, or anywhere else you might want to set up a portable gaming throwdown. It's a way better alternative to trying to play split screen with the Switch 2 using the tabletop mode with the kickstand!

I also use Viture glasses with my laptop when I'm traveling for work, and it gives me the same advantages as with the Switch. Getting sweet neck relief by using a pair of smart glasses to look forward at the display instead of down at the laptop is a game-changer, and all you'll need to do is plug the glasses' USB-C cable into your laptop like a monitor.
