VITURE Luma Pro vs VITURE Luma Ultra

VITURE pitches Luma Pro as its all-round model, and the $100 that separates it from Luma Ultra doesn’t buy a bigger picture. Both use 1200p Sony micro-OLED displays that VITURE sizes at 152 inches from a simulated 4 meters, 52 degrees across. Ultra changes three things: the brightness, the cameras on its front and the frame sizes you can order.

The same screen, brighter on Ultra

Ultra’s panel is rated at up to 1,500 nits, against 1,000 on Luma Pro, and that’s the only display spec that moves. Brightness is what helps when there’s daylight around you, so that’s where the extra rating would count.

Both darken with electrochromic film that VITURE rates from 0.5 to 40 percent light transmission, and Ultra’s FAQ calls the darkest setting a near-100-percent blackout. Both correct myopia to −4.0D with axis adjustment and carry an SGS A+ eye-comfort mark; if your prescription goes further, the base VITURE Luma has a −6.0D dial. Both frames also have dynamic lighting effects, and VITURE calls Luma Pro’s RGB lighting an industry first. That’s decoration, separate from the light that tells people Ultra’s camera is on.

Ultra’s cameras, and where 6DoF works

Ultra has a front RGB camera and two grayscale depth cameras, and a VITURE chip in the frame works out 6DoF from them. 6DoF is what keeps a screen where you left it as you lean in or walk around; 3DoF only follows your head as it turns. The glasses can’t show it on their own, though. The picture has to come from SpaceWalker or an app built on VITURE’s SDK, and the device you plug into decides what you get:

Device	Luma Ultra tracking
Pro Neckband	Full 6DoF, with hand gestures
SpaceWalker on Mac or Windows	6DoF; gestures in a later update
SpaceWalker on Android	3DoF
iPhone, through Adapter Ultra or Mobile Dock Mini	3DoF Pin Mode, no gestures

So if a phone is all you’ll plug in, Ultra’s headline feature never reaches you, and Luma Pro gives you the same 3DoF. Pro has no 6DoF at all, even with a neckband: it does 3DoF in SpaceWalker, with wear detection and a VITURE note about magnetometer drift.

The cameras aren’t for photos. Ultra’s front RGB camera stays off until you enable it, and a light shows while it’s running. The depth cameras switch on for 6DoF and, by default, capture nothing else; with no app using them, Ultra works as a plain display. VITURE says Ultra’s RGB lens can arrive under a sticker you peel off, and Luma Pro’s box includes a camera privacy sticker even though Pro has no user-facing camera. Developers can reach both camera types through VITURE’s SDK on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

Fit and weight

Luma Pro comes in two frames. Regular is 64.0 ± 6.0mm, so up to 70, and Large is 68.0 ± 6.0mm, up to 74. If your measurement falls in both, VITURE says to pick the one whose center, 64 or 68, is closer. Ultra is Regular only, 58 to 70mm, so if you need the Large frame, there’s no Ultra for you. Both have wear detection, Ultra comes with three nose pads, and VITURE suggests sessions of 3 to 4 hours on either.

VITURE Academy puts Luma Pro at 79 grams in Regular and 81 in Large. Ultra’s weight isn’t published, so nobody can tell you yet what the cameras add.

What stays the same

Sound comes from HARMAN AudioEFX speakers on both, with nine volume levels and a fundamental of 250Hz, give or take 50. Ultra also lists a microphone for calls and voice features.

Neither has a battery. Both run on power from the phone, computer or console through a 1.2-meter magnetic cable, and that device has to send video over USB-C (DisplayPort); a charge-only port won’t show a picture. The case in the box protects the glasses but won’t charge them.

Both boxes hold the same kit around the glasses (nose pads, the magnetic cable, a case, a cover, a cleaning cloth and the quick start and safety guides), and Pro’s adds the privacy sticker.

Price

Luma Pro costs $499 and Luma Ultra $599 on viture.com, both with free US shipping and 30-day returns. Ultra’s page also shows a $399 price that belongs to another VITURE model, so make sure the $599 Ultra is what lands in your cart. Prices change, so check viture.com before you buy.

Skip both if your prescription goes past −4.0D, if you want camera glasses for photos and video (that’s Ray-Ban Meta’s job), or if your phone or laptop can’t send video over USB-C.
