For gamers on the go, productivity enthusiasts, and anyone yearning for a truly immersive cinematic experience anywhere, the Sentinel XR Glasses are here to redefine your personal display. Launched by ELO (Elo Vagabond) on Kickstarter, these cutting-edge XR glasses promise to deliver a massive 180-inch virtual Full HD screen directly to your eyes, transforming your portable devices into a private, high-fidelity entertainment and work hub.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: Sentinel XR Gaming Glasses: Game & Watch Movies Anywhere by ELO (Elo Vagabond)
What It Is: Lightweight, wearable XR (Extended Reality) glasses that project a massive virtual Full HD 1080p display at a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate to each eye. Designed for seamless plug-and-play compatibility with a wide range of devices, including handheld gaming consoles, smartphones, PCs, and cloud gaming platforms, Sentinel XR aims to provide a console-grade immersive experience wherever you are.
Key Features
Massive 180-inch Virtual Display: The Sentinel XR Glasses feature dual 0.68” Sony OLED displays, one for each eye, that create the perception of a colossal 180-inch screen viewed from 3 meters away (or a 27-inch monitor from 80 cm). This offers an unparalleled cinematic and gaming experience, making a Nintendo Switch screen feel 22 times larger!
Stunning Visual Clarity: With 1080p Full HD resolution per eye, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an ultra-low 1ms GTG response time, the glasses deliver crisp, fluid, and responsive visuals. This ensures no motion blur, screen tearing, or lag, making them ideal for fast-paced gaming, racing, or action movies. A high Pixel Per Degree (PPD) of 55 ensures sharp details without a "screen door" effect.
Wide 52° Field of View (FOV): Utilizing Sony's latest OLED modules, Sentinel XR provides a 52° field of view, among the widest in XR glasses. This minimizes distortion and allows you to see the entire virtual screen edge-to-edge, enhancing immersion.
Universal Plug-and-Play Connectivity: The glasses connect directly via a magnetic USB-C (pogo pin) cable, ensuring low-latency performance. They are compatible with:
Handheld gaming PCs: Steam Deck, ROG Ally.
Consoles: Nintendo Switch (requires docking adapter), PlayStation Remote Play, Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Mobile Devices: USB-C iPhones (15/16), Android devices, iPad Mini.
Computers: PC and Mac (no additional software required).
Immersive Audio: Built-in stereo speakers provide full, immersive sound, eliminating the need for separate headphones unless preferred.
Comfortable & Adaptive Design: Weighing under 80g, the Sentinel XR glasses are designed for extended wear. They feature flexible arms, adjustable nose pads to fit various head shapes, and an aircraft-grade aluminum frame with passive cooling to prevent heat buildup during long sessions.
Built-in Myopia Adjustment: For users with mild to moderate nearsightedness, the glasses offer integrated diopter correction from 0 to -5.0D. This allows direct fine-tuning of focus without the need for additional prescription lenses.
Electrochromic Lenses & Side Fins for Glare Control: The glasses feature electrochromic lenses that can toggle between full transparency and 99.7% blackout, allowing you to control the level of immersion and block out ambient light. Built-in side fins further prevent light leakage, ensuring a focused and private viewing experience even in bright environments.
Optional OmniBase & Vagabond V2 Controller: ELO also offers complementary accessories:
OmniBase: A portable computing hub running Android OS with internal storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and battery, transforming the glasses into a standalone system. It also acts as a power bank and enables multi-display productivity.
Vagabond V2 Controller: A mobile gaming controller with Hall Effect joysticks (drift-free), silent mechanical buttons, and customizable macro buttons for a console-grade gaming experience on the go.

The Idea
Concept: To break free from the limitations of fixed screens and small mobile displays, providing a truly portable, high-performance, and immersive virtual screen experience for gaming, entertainment, and productivity, accessible anywhere.
Inspiration: ELO (Elo Vagabond), with a background in portable gaming accessories, recognized the demand for a truly uncompromised mobile viewing experience. They understood that while handheld consoles offered portability, their small screens often sacrificed immersion. The Sentinel XR Glasses are born from the vision to fill this gap, leveraging advanced display technology and smart design to empower users to enjoy their favorite games and media on a massive, private screen, whether at home, on a commute, or in the air, transforming any moment into an epic adventure.
