Nreal Air Vs Rokid Air Which AR Smartglasses Should You Buy?

Hey Rokid! I just got my glasses recently, and I think they're awesome 👌 👏 but I noticed there's not that many apps still on your store. Are you planning to increase the amount of apps supported? This thing has a lot of potential.

Great review!! This is the first video I’ve seen comparing two AR glasses, the positives and the negatives 🙌🏾❤️ I have the nreal glasses and I love them. My critique of the nreal is that they are awesome, but it took me awhile to position my prescription lenses on the nose clips and connecting them to the nreal’s. They should add a more descriptive section in the manual on how to place them and insert them properly .

[@reviewthebest]

Thank you and yes I agree!

Finally a product that thought about the Android user first instead of the Apple user. I purchased the NReal AR Glasses and got them a few days ago and Wow they are the best Tech product I have purchased in awhile. The video quality is amazing. I don't leave home without them now. Just to even watch football out on my patio with this amazing crystal clear 200 inch screen in front of me is just awesome.

I am not buying another TV since these are perfect for me. I no longer have to worry about glare on the TV or how bright the room is. Or how huge the TV is and the design of the room being impacted. These are so much cheaper than buying a gigantic screen TV or projector. I just bought a huge screen for my laptop and I guess I should have just saved the money to buy a cheaper laptop for gaming etc. I can see TV and computer sales being heavily impacted by these. It may sound weird but I stopped watching TV/movies and just watch my KZbin videos. Of course I still game since I started with the text games in the 70's. You cannot beat the variety I get from KZbin with comedy, news, music, art, economics and how to make anything. I am retired so I have seen all those movies and prefer a good book anyway. Thanks for the video. Sigh, you kids are so lucky since my first computer cost as much as a car and didn't even have a hard drive, screen or printer. I was so proud of my floppy drives and a TV was cheaper than a monitor for color display.

I just got a pair of the Nreal glasses. I haven't done much with them yet, but I have a scenario at my house that these are PERFECT for. my Wife and I work different shifts and I'm usually awake when shes asleep and obviously the TV in the bedroom is too bright and hard to sleep through. With these glasses I was able to still be in the room in the dark watching Netflix with my leg on hers for that "couples contact" effect and not keeping her awake. I've watched movies in there with my Oculus Quest2 but with the battery pack headstraps its just not comfortable to lay down. I'm super glad I bought these and I'm going to try them out with my steamdeck, N Switch and hopefully the windows app comes out soon too.

Sent my Nreal Airs back. I found the arms created pressure points on the side of my head. They also didn't work with my phone despite my phone being on the compatible list. My optometrist also sent the lens template back to me as they were too small for them to make Rx lenses for me. Might give the Rokid a try but so far the Nreal Air glasses have been a bit of a pain and not worth it...yet. Beautiful screens but too many issues.

[@niklasfritzell6465]

@@garyrato5938 Ok, here comes the full report. I can happily announce that 3D gaming works on pc when using the Rokid, but you need mods unless the game itself supports side by side 3D (there are a few oldies that does that). To save time I bought Vorpx and it is stunning.(I also tried reshade superdepth but it was totally useless on its own). With Vorpx I played Halo Masterchief collection in full HD and fullscreen 3D. My God does it look spectacular! I tried a VR mod on resident evil 2 and while VR does not work on Rokid I could still move around in the 3D environment. It was the best 3D I have experienced outside of reality lol.

The Rokid also have the operating system that you can pin up to 3 screens that will stay in the position you place them and when you look away, they still stay where you put them until you look back toward them. More research is needed in the Rokid. It does almost the same as the Nreal.

great video! still trying to decide on which to get. I love how the rokid has the adjustment for near sighted people. I am near sighted. I also love seeing rokid responding to comments to this video. Shows they're active and eager to improve their products. I think the video stated that nreal are more proactive working with other companies like apple and working on other projects to expand their market. Hopefully rokid will catch up to that. But seeing rokid's comments is making me lean towards them more. If Rokid reads my comments, any idea on if you guys will be adding a built in camera to the glasses? I'm thinking if it adjusts to near sightedness, if adding a camera to it, I don't need to buy a glasses anymore. I can view the video feed that is adjusted to my vision. Also Rokid, would you guys be adding that black out cover like nreal for the full "vr" experience? Thank you

To avoid battery draining from your device you will have either to wait for nreal to release the direct power they have in mind to add to the adapter they sell, or waste a lot of money in a hub with a 'USB-c video secondary' port (one of them being the dell wd19 or wd19s, the s being the new one with no 3.5 audio jack, cause they suck)
