The world of wearable technology took significant leaps forward at CES 2026, with two standout devices capturing attention across gaming enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers. XREAL unveiled advanced AR smart glasses optimized for gaming and media consumption, while Withings introduced the Body Scan 2, a sophisticated home longevity station that transforms a simple weigh-in into a comprehensive health assessment.
XREAL dominated discussions in the AR space with its latest lineup, particularly the ROG XREAL R1 gaming glasses developed in collaboration with ASUS Republic of Gamers. These glasses deliver a groundbreaking 240Hz refresh rate—the first of its kind in AR eyewear—paired with 1080p micro-OLED displays per eye. Gamers can enjoy a massive virtual screen reaching up to 171 inches with a 57-degree field of view, effectively turning any compatible device like the ROG Ally, PC, or console into a portable high-performance monitor.
The ROG XREAL R1 includes a dedicated control dock supporting up to three devices simultaneously via HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. This setup promises ultra-low latency and crisp visuals ideal for competitive gaming, eliminating motion blur during fast-paced action. Early hands-on reports from CES highlight seamless integration with handhelds and consoles, allowing users to experience cinematic gameplay on the go without needing a large TV or monitor.
Alongside the gaming-focused R1, XREAL launched the more accessible XREAL 1S model. Priced at around $449, it offers notable upgrades including improved color accuracy, Real 3D technology that instantly converts 2D content into 3D without additional apps, and a larger spatial screen experience reaching up to 500 inches in some configurations. The 1S features the X1 spatial computing chip for smoother 120Hz visuals with minimal latency, native 3DoF tracking, and TÜV-certified eye comfort. Reviewers praise its balance of performance and affordability, making high-quality AR media consumption and productivity more mainstream.
These developments signal a maturing AR glasses market, shifting from novelty to practical tools for entertainment and portable gaming. As 2026 progresses, XREAL’s models are expected to appeal to travelers, streamers, and casual gamers seeking immersive experiences without bulky setups.
On the health front, Withings unveiled the Body Scan 2 at CES 2026, positioning it as the world’s first science-backed home longevity station. Building on the original Body Scan, this upgraded model measures over 60 clinically validated biomarkers in roughly 90 seconds, providing deep insights into cardiovascular, metabolic, and cellular health.
Key innovations include Impedance Cardiography (ICG) for detailed heart pumping performance and efficiency, Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) for advanced cellular health assessment, and new AI-powered risk notifications for hypertension, diabetes precursors, and heart failure. The device tracks segmental body composition with higher accuracy, vascular age, heart age, and long-term impacts of glycemic regulation, offering users a predictive view of their health trajectory.
Equipped with a retractable handle containing additional sensors and a built-in display, the Body Scan 2 delivers a full cardiometabolic checkup at home. It uses medical-grade technology to detect early warning signs years before traditional symptoms appear, while maintaining strong privacy standards with GDPR and HIPAA compliance. Data syncs automatically to the Health Mate app for trend analysis and optional sharing with healthcare providers.
Priced at $599.95 in the US (with regional variations), the Body Scan 2 is scheduled for release in Q2 2026, pending FDA clearance for select advanced metrics such as hypertension and atrial fibrillation detection. Early buzz suggests it could become a central hub for preventive health, reducing reliance on frequent doctor visits for routine monitoring.
Together, the XREAL AR glasses and Withings Body Scan 2 exemplify how 2026 technology is blending entertainment with wellness. Whether immersing in virtual gaming worlds or proactively managing long-term health, these devices bring professional-grade experiences directly into everyday life. As both products roll out this year, they highlight the growing convergence of AR innovation and AI-driven personal health tools.
