VITURE Pro Neckband Review – Everything Happens Above Your Neck!
On late last year, the “VITURE Pro Neckband” was announced and even began shipping overseas—even though it hasn’t been officially announced in Japan yet. As a self-proclaimed VITURIST (a devoted VITURE fan), I couldn’t wait for its domestic debut. I went to great lengths to import it from overseas, and here is my review.
What is the VITURE Pro Neckband?
Quoting from VITURE’s webpage, it is described as:
The VITURE Pro Neckband is a lightweight and ergonomic wearable computing device, designed to enhance the capabilities of the VITURE XR Glasses.
In short, the VITURE Pro and VITURE One are essentially “sunglasses-type displays” – meaning that on their own, they are nothing more than mere display devices. It is this optional accessory—the VITURE Pro Neckband (hereafter “Pro Neckband”)—that elevates the VITURE XR glasses into a true wearable computing device.

The Pro Neckband itself is essentially an Android device. Its basic specifications are as follows:
OS: Android 13
Memory: 8GB / 12GB (depending on the model)
Storage: 128GB / 256GB (depending on the model)
Network: Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2
USB‑C Input: USB 2.0 x 1
Battery: 3,280mAh
A Unique Form Factor
While it is, at its core, an Android device, its design is entirely different—it’s fashioned as a neckband that you wear. The advantage of this design is that it comfortably keeps the connected glasses-type device very close to you. Simply plug the magnetic connector cable, which extends from the Pro Neckband, directly into the VITURE Pro/One. Everything you need is conveniently located above your neck!

Just imagine: having everything above your neck means you can move around freely without worrying about cables, and being hands‑free allows you to use your hands for other tasks.

In contrast, every other device—whether it’s an iPhone, Android, Mac, PC, or even competitors’ media players like the XREAL Beam Pro or Rokid Station—basically requires being tethered to XR glasses by a long cable. You’re always at the mercy of the “cable curse,” having to worry about snagging the cable or whether its length is appropriate.
From this form factor alone, you can see just how attractive the Pro Neckband is.
3DoF and Multi‑Screen SpaceWalker Mode
While the Pro Neckband’s form factor is ideal, what about its software? In truth, the software isn’t yet final. Since its initial shipment at the end of last year (in fact, development had already begun internally at VITURE before that), improvements have been ongoing—and two updates have already been released.
We're thrilled to bring you the first version of SpaceWalker for the Pro Neckband—and while it's already unbeatable, we know there's always room to improve!
Having tried it myself, I can’t say it’s completely “unbeatable,” but it certainly comes with a host of attractive features. Let me introduce the “SpaceWalker Mode,” which packs most of these features. Please watch the short video below, which demonstrates:
Spatial anchoring using 3DoF (pinning function)
App launching via hand gestures
Usage of Android apps
Simultaneous multi‑screen usage
First, the spatial anchoring (item 1) is the feature—also talked about with the XREAL One—that “pins” an image in space. Although the video had to use the standard OS recording (since I couldn’t film the VITURE Pro directly), the anchoring is remarkably stable. This function was already achievable on iPhone and Mac using VITURE’s official “SpaceWalker” app, but with the Pro Neckband, stability is taken even further. To put it into perspective, during my unique “toothbrushing test” (brushing my teeth while the image remained fixed to gauge any shake), the image was significantly steadier. If we rate the XREAL One’s stability at a perfect 10, the combination of the VITURE Pro and Pro Neckband scores around 8.5 to 9.
By the way, if the VITURE Pro glasses are properly calibrated, the ‘drift phenomenon’—where the anchored image gradually shifts sideways—almost never occurs. That said, I feel the calibration for the VITURE Pro glasses is extremely strict…
Next, the Pro Neckband supports a “hand gesture function” (item 2) that recognizes your hand movements. To achieve this, it’s equipped with a camera and sensors that can even detect gestures in low‑light conditions.

However, since the hand gesture function is still in beta, it remains somewhat unstable. For instance, while seated on a sofa it often misrecognizes gestures, whereas standing seems to yield better results. Perhaps your body or legs interfere with detection. Still, for simple operations, it works adequately. Significant improvements to this function are promised in updates scheduled for March to April, and as I will mention later, the Pro Neckband also offers other methods of control.
As for item 3, the Pro Neckband lets you freely use various Android apps that you install yourself. While this might seem obvious, the “SpaceWalker app” on iPhone or Android was limited to services accessible via a browser, and could not run apps installed on your phone. With the Pro Neckband, you can install and use any app you like from the Google Play Store.
Finally, item 4 is multi‑screen support. In addition to a home screen, the Pro Neckband allows you to open two additional screens simultaneously—each running its own app. In the video, I was watching a YouTube video while using the note app, but you could, for example, run X (formerly Twitter) alongside a game at the same time.
As mentioned earlier, the spatial anchoring is very stable, and you can install and use your favorite Android apps across multiple screens simultaneously. In short, with a keyboard and mouse, you can effectively create a “virtual workspace” for your tasks!

Power‑Saving Android Mode
While the charm of the Pro Neckband largely lies in its SpaceWalker Mode, it also offers a simpler, more power‑efficient “Android Mode.” In Android Mode, it functions just like a typical Android tablet. Although you lose features such as 3DoF spatial anchoring and multi‑screen capability, the system operates with significantly lower power consumption. While it may feel like you’re missing out on the full potential of the Pro Neckband, if your primary need is to use it as a media player for watching videos (in a 0DoF mode), then Android Mode may be ideal.
For some reason, it appears that in SpaceWalker Mode, the maximum brightness on the VITURE Pro glasses is slightly limited, whereas in Android Mode, you can achieve a brightness level that easily competes with ambient light. This is a bit of a dilemma.
Versatile Methods of Operation
As mentioned, the hand gesture function is still in beta and can be somewhat unreliable. VITURE itself notes that hand gestures are intended only for basic operations.
First, please note that this is a single-camera hand gesture application. While it supports all basic gestures, it's not designed to replace your Neckband Remote App or controllers, which we recommend for more complex navigation.
It’s designed to serve as a quick remote—ideal for when you’re relaxing and watching videos. To facilitate various Android operations, the Pro Neckband supports several control methods:
Headgaze:
In this mode, the cursor moves according to the direction of your head. You can toggle it on or off by pressing the power and settings buttons simultaneously. When headgaze is enabled, the volume buttons serve as “Confirm” and “Go Back” keys.

Neckband Remote App (for iOS/Android):
This is the official app you install on your smartphone. When launched, it automatically pairs with the Pro Neckband to allow for cursor control and text input—no cables required.


Mouse and Keyboard:
By connecting via Bluetooth, you can use a mouse to control the cursor and a keyboard to input text. Personally, I use a foldable keyboard with an integrated trackpad.Game Controller:
You can also connect a Bluetooth game controller for cursor control. Moreover, by holding down the L1 and R1 buttons, you can switch to Gamepad Mode, which enables in‑screen game control.

All these methods work wirelessly with the Pro Neckband, preserving the hands‑free, all‑above‑the‑neck experience. You can easily switch between them depending on your location or the app you’re using.
Isn’t This Basically Wireless?
That concludes my review of the Pro Neckband. To summarize what the VITURE Pro Neckband is all about:
Built‑in battery
Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
Android OS
Internal storage
Hand gesture support
Spatial anchoring and multi‑screen functionality
In essence, it is a “wearable computing device” designed to work with the VITURE Pro/One.
Even in reviews of the VITURE Pro and XREAL One, many express wishes for a truly wireless or standalone AR glasses experience. Simply put, the VITURE Pro Neckband essentially brings that vision to a higher level.

While it isn’t without its shortcomings (especially regarding hand gestures), VITURE has already promised improvements and is actively working on updates. I managed to get my hands on the overseas version, and by the time it is released in Japan, these issues will likely be addressed to some extent. Incidentally, the unit I obtained already bears the technical conformity certification!

So, to all fellow VITURISTs—when it finally goes on sale in Japan, I hope you’ll all rush to get one! Or rather, please announce it officially in Japan as soon as possible!
いいなと思ったら応援しよう!
