For me they almost seem like a tablet replacement. Primarily for use at home, allowing you a bigger display than your phone to watch Netflix or KZbin, but also letting you stay hands free. Plus great for lying down so you don't have to tire your arms out holding the tablet above your head. Also a bit better for your neck as unlike a phone you won't always be tilting your head down, you can watch stuff at a comfortable normal angle.

[@marczamp4737]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@ViciousPikachu]

But not exactly a table replacement. You can't use the touchscreen because there isn't one so you can't draw like in tablet and i also wonder if you would be able to play games like Asphalt 9 without gamepad and just by tilting your head or the phone

Nice review! One thing to note though, these glasses actually run at 60Hz per nReal - there is a 72Hz mode available in developer options, but it was scaled back from the 90Hz default prior to release due to power considerations I believe.

The glasess doesn't have battery i suppose?

[@jaalm4711]

​@RiyonLive Yes. But in 90hz it will drain too much power from the phone and that could be dangerous

here is some information for those interested in purchasing: - purchase on EE is only possible in the UK and you need to have a subscription with them (or physically go to the store); but on ebay there is a Japanese seller who usually ships them. - even if they have MR compatibility they are purely useful for aircasting, but you don't need a compatible phone for this: any device that supports USB-C to DP will work (for example also a steam deck or a desktop / laptop ). so they are called AR glasses but in the end they remain an excellent portable monitor in reality.

Today I had the idea that if mixing AR technology to voice recognition technology, we could generate subtitles to whatever people in front of you are saying which could be huge for language learners, but not only that, it could probably even auto-translate any language! A bit like the Google Translate conversation mode works right now but you would see the subtitles in the screen as you talk to people! For this reason alone, it would justify getting one of those.

[@imabirdbear]

That's already available for the Nreal Air, look up 'xrai glass' which is a simple translator on the screen (up to 9 languages at this point). I've tried the software on my android phone w/o the glasses (still debating to buy them as what/why will I REALLY use them for!). I'm basically deaf, so having live captioning apps on the phone is handy, the idea of having it displayed in front of you is even better. The software is free with add-on (expensive) monthy plans. I don't expect to need the plans and will stick with the freebie. Not sure if the XRAI GLASS app is available on IOS.

I think the Apple AR glasses would look similar to this and probably be wireless (all the major compute might be offloaded to your phone instead of the glasses). So the current use cases of AR/VR I’ve noticed are as follows: 1) Could be a cheaper option for professionals that use multiple monitors since you can use it as a hovering external display. Might even replace desktop monitors entirely if the resolution and color quality becomes better. 2) 3D artists already use VR devices for modeling, some say its more intuitive 3) Could serve as an iPad /TV replacement device. If multiple devices can sync in a way that people can consume the same video content with different devices that would be dope 4) Industrial applications (military, engineering, teaching, etc)

I would want them to be able to be hooked up to a laptop or desktop PC. If when watching them in a totally dark room and with the dark shades on, if it truly looks equal to a bright nice OLED with deep colors, nice specular highlights and no blooming etc. They would be really awesome.

...why can't Facebook make the Quest 2 this seamless? This is exactly what I want VR for - playing games on a large screen without taking up a huge amount of space in my smaller apartment.

[@TrexelCat]

I recommend getting VorpX and/or Bigscreen. I have used(and still do) both. I also own a Quest 2. Bigscreen allows you to show your desktop on a massive big screen virtual television in your VR. And you don't need to move around, I play games on that perfectly fine from my desk and I live in an RV(so, far less space than your apartment). One advantage to Bigscreen is, if you have friends who have VR as well, you can invite them to your 'room' and share your screen with them. Watch movies together from your computer, or play split screen capable games like you are in the same room. VorpX allows you to play most of your standard games in a VR environment. With some having settings where you can actually play them in VR(full head tracking and such). Advantage here is, some games will actually take on a true 3d effect and make things really pop. You can also play them on a virtual screen if you don't want to go full VR. You will still get the stereoscopic 3d effect with games that support it. Drawback being, you can't share with friends. It's just a solo to you experience. Bigscreen is free. VorpX costs $39.99usd(at the time of this posting)

@@TrexelCat I love bigscreen for movies and shows, but with games the input lag is a bit too much for me. Granted I've only tried it with COD.

[@TrexelCat]

@@ninjacats200 Yeah, slower paced solo games work better in Bigscreen. Also best if you use a link cable over wireless as the data transfer speed is faster and reduces some of that input lag. VorpX is a much better visual experience from the game side. Sadly, not all games will work with VorpX as it requires a very specific hooking method that will, at best not work with some games, and at worse cause the game to flat out crash hard. Up side though, VorpX allows you to use the VR controllers directly, even if the game doesn't support a controller by basically doing the same thing as other programs like JoytoKey do and remapping your controller inputs to keyboard/mouse commands. That remapping is customizable. I actually did a stream once where I played a game through VorpX. With a picture-in-picture window showing what I was seeing on my headset.

[@GustavoGarufi]

It's not anything like VR dude. VR isn't just a screen in front of your face, VR is getting 6DoF, being able to get up, move around, it's all in 3D cause each eye has it's own screen. You get a real sense of presence. This is like a floating screen, and VR isn't that. Don't confuse the two. VR is more affordable then ever, I encourage you to try it out!

[@dodger1x]

@@GustavoGarufi Yes Nreal Air is only 3Dof, but Nreal Light is 6dof and can do hand tracking. They both have only a 50degree FOV though. VR glasses are about 100degree

The glasses and the phone will be together. They will make it really crazy once it feels like a video game. They’ll be able to make it so when you’re driving you’ll feel like there’s a big floating arrow on the road when you need to take a turn. You can FaceTime with a digital version of you’re friend where it will feel like they’re in front of you and just put their face on a very accurate looking body. You’ll be able to walk around and have a augmented reality tour guide. I’m telling you this paired with video on the front is going to change the game.

[@Umadbro681]

Can you imagine being able to set up your own virtual space in your home? In place of a real TV is a tv that will stay in the same place until you look in that direction. Same with a phone. Walk over to a wall with a camera and have a proper face time area. Remote controls all in AR for everything. Decorate your entire house in VR before you do it in real life. Set up settings for lights and decorations people can also see in AR when they drive by. So many possibilities.

[@alexc1485]

I wonder whether AR glasses will gradually replace smartphones altogether. Imagine 10 years from now when it is a fully seamless experience, and if some major players get involved like Apple (which it sounds like they will) it seems like the natural next step in our increasing integration with technology/the internet - whether you want it or not!

[@otonpaiva]

I think that will happen when they get hand-tracking/gestures right. Maybe hands free done by cameras, and maybe it will be with a tiny intuitive control, or band that can read our muscle signals (already exists). But when that is done, and maybe some eyetracking in there too. Then I think people will switch really fast. Hell, they can even make some mind commands nowadays with tools like emotiv epoc. The future will be crazy

[@chengyangooi4694]

Not possible. Becuase, wearing glasses for short while is fun. Wearing glass for whole day and you have no freedom to remove is disastrous. Those suffer with far sighted group have no choice to wear glass. Else they also don’t want to wear.

[@alexc1485]

@@chengyangooi4694 why would you have to wear them all day? I don’t look at my phone all day. I agree the idea of taking them off/on/off/on sounds cumbersome, but then, people often do that with, say, sunglasses, so I’m not sure it would make it an impossibility. I would also assume that Apple would be looking at designing prescription versions of the glasses so anyone could wear them.

[@chengyangooi4694]

@@alexc1485 how are you deal going to with incoming phone call if you decide not to wear the spec long day? You have to make the glasses easily available for you. Also smart glasses is quite fragile and get scratches all over if treated as handphone when directly keep in your pocket. Also when come to typing experience, smart phone still provide the best user experience and efficiency. I think smart glass is an excellent wearable electronics device to compliment and support smartphone but not to an extend to replace smartphone totally. Smart glass is unable to provide excellent user interface experience compare to smart phone.

[@alexc1485]

@@chengyangooi4694 yeah they are definitely issues to overcome that I’m not gonna say I have the answer to, so it’s interesting to hear your take. Do you not feel that many of those issues are largely down to the tech still being in its early stages? That as it matures, and as society changes to accommodate AR glasses, those problems may fade away and glasses will outcompete the pretty static and rigid experience that a smartphone offers in comparison? I don’t know, but I know it is very hard to predict where we will be 10 years from now.

[@jpmcnown1]

I wouldn't say these qualify as "AR". They are simply an image projected in front of your eyes. I feel like a big qualifier for AR is having an ability to interact with reality, and augment it.

[@blaaaaaaaaahify]

Well that's basically what AR is. An image projected in your eyes. You're talking about the platforms that were going to get developed and the apps that will follow along with machine learning, gps dependent, etc

Something that would be awesome is hooking your phone up to a controller like the razer Kishi 2 then using the extra port on the kishi to hook these glasses up then streaming games like you said in this video. That way you can have a actual good connection to the controller (not Bluetooth) and still use the air glasses. This is pretty cool and I can’t wait to see where this tech goes in the future.

[@rz9974]

I think the kishi 2 port is charging only

[@danebeee1]

@@rz9974 yeah wouldn’t the kishi be able to charge the glasses while having it hooked up to your phone?? I don’t see why not as the only point of plugging in the glasses is to power them and the kishi 2 port is a pass through so u can have you phone hooked to it and be charging the kishi 2 at the same time. So instead of charging the kishi 2 you would just plug the glasses in.

I really like the idea of this take on light weight VR glasses. But, Nreal won't be getting developer support in the US and will fall behind as the developer kits are very expensive (and I know getting your company to invest money in pricy dev tools is not easy) and Meta headsets already have a dominant product that is easier for developers to get started on.

I'm more impressed than I thought I'd be. However, one application I thought would be a core use case was GPS directions while biking/riding a motorcycle and I'm not sure if these cover that so well. From what I understand, you could open the full Google Maps app and maybe push it off to the side? But that seems like far too distracting and too much information. Ideally, they would have a custom app in the MR space that just showed basic info like next turn and time to destination. If they had exterior cameras, they could lay the next turn markings over the actual road - that's one of the holy grails of AR!

[@ryangerrity2851]
