I’ve been wanting a set of the Nreal AR glasses for about a year now and I’ve watched so many videos about them but your video blew everyone else out of the water thanks so much for all the work you went through to share with us what it’s like to use these with your steam deck no body else has made a cam to show the footage while playing on KZbin even on the Nreal indiegogo they had or the official KZbin video so Thankyou so much best videos yet I can’t wait until I can afford a set to try myself 🙌🏼❤️‍🔥

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! It was a lot of trial and error 😎

[@cyber7550]

Update mind are in the mail will be here on Monday dec 19th ❤️‍🔥🙌🏼🥳 I got the adapter for it as well for my iPhone and I already have the Apple adapter for hdmi so I’m super stoked 🤘🏼

How is virtual screen size. Is it big as said in the advt

[@Mertxenaiz]

Received my glasses today and have been tinkering with them. I purchased a separate little module so I could watch movies on my iPhone, but I found that it’s equally compatible with an iPod touch as long as you have the Apple video connector but it’s amazing. Absolutely amazing. Definitely worth the purchase. I was a little skeptical at first and had buyer’s remorse the next day but after putting them on today and trying them out, wow.

[@patriot9077]

Mine arrived yesterday and I'm blown away. watching a movie in bed, laying flat on my back with some good Bluetooth headphones is something else. I can't wait to use these on flights. I love how seamlessly they work with my Steam Deck too. 10/10 would buy again.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Awesome, happy you're loving them too!

[@JeanJulesHappyDoc]

hey guys, just wondering, don't the graphics look poor when using the deck with it? I mean with a screen that is so big. Plus the fact that the graphics need to be settled to medium/low for the deck to perform well. I'm probably wrong. If you guys could tell me how you felt it? thanks, have a good day

[@patriot9077]

@@GamersGuard the 3dof only works in the Nebula AR app. (which IMO is mediocre) I watch movies via Samsung Dex. Simulates a 100-ish inch screen about 8 to 10 feet away. It's a fixed image directly in front of you, it doesn't leave your view if you turn your head. It looks fantastic. You really have to experience it in person to fully appreciate it. Order from Amazon, if you're not impressed, return them.

Great video and great review of the hardware, AR tech is so fascinating to me and I cannot wait for society to adopt it, I see so much potential just in everyday life with AR, I feel like I am the perfect age because there was no such thing as the internet when I was in school and now we have AR about to change everything

Glad that the video was helpful for you! Here are a few packages that work great on the Steam Deck to help you get started with the Retro Games aspect: wagnerstechtalk.com/steamdeck/#Emulation (EmuDeck & Batocera). The guides should help you get up and running with either (or both) fairly quickly.

[@noobgamerstatus808]

Definitely worth it especially with a Samsung mobile device, I've been using my S22 ultra with Dex it's the best thing in the world for mobile games such as Cod, Fortnite, Valrant, and I got it set up with PS2, Game Cube, 3Ds emulators as well some cloud gaming services (lucky to live in an area with good cell reception and lots of wifi locations) so I can play most of my Steam games from my phone smoothly. Movies and browsing the internet works well too I can easily read text while browsing Reddit it is not a strain to read which it awesome because I can use this with my mobile IDEs to code which has saved my butt when my power went out and I only had my phone with a project due. All in all if you you want these purly for AR I'd look else where, but for a external display these things are amazing and I have definitely got my money's worth out in time used and utility. Side note I wish the Nebula app worked like Dex where It turns my phone into a virtual desktop so I could use my own apps with multiple displays and move them around and be able to ajust them instead just their apps and browsers.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Awesome feedback, thank you so much for sharing your experience with DEX and the glasses overall.

Great video! I really appreciated that you created a DIY camera trying to show us the view of the nreal. Have you thought about getting the redmagic adapter to allow charging while using nreal/steam deck?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Thank you, I did spend quite a bit of time trying to figure out a way. The image quality looks much better in person, but it was the closest I could come up with. I have heard of the redmagic adapter, but haven't purchased one myself.

[@josephantone1243]

Remind me of an old pair of Sony GlassTrons I had.

[@MattLockw00d]

I'm definitely interested in buying these glasses, I've seen about a dozen review videos and it seems all positive. I am wondering though if it's capable of playing 3D videos, I've never seen anyone confirm or deny that. It's 2 images overlayed to give you a sense of depth but if you plugged the glasses into your phone and had an app to properly display a side-by-side video would it show depth in a video?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

nrealassistant, works at nreal and someone I've been in contact with recently, posted this: www.reddit.com/r/nreal/comments/yq0goc/dear_nreal_pls_give_us_a_proper_3d_mode Sounds like it's coming in a firmware update -potentially soon.

[@MattLockw00d]

@@WagnersTechTalk that's great to know. Can't wait to get a pair to use on my steamdeck but even more looking forward to being able to watch 3D video. It works well in the Quest 2 but having a lightweight alternative would be so much better

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Totally agree, love my Quest 2 but these are much more practical for everyday use. Enjoying bouncing ideas off of nrealassistant, very receptive and understanding. I think we'll see some innovative new uses for the glasses very soon (not that it isn't already, it is). There are a few ideas that would totally make the hardware a game changer and productivity changer.

[@ndennis61]

interesting. how good is it as a desktop monitor replacement? are little details easy to see? thx for the review.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I used the Steam Deck for testing Windows 11 and the display was totally visible. I could read all areas of the screen without issue. Keep in mind, the screen position on a PC doesn't "lock" to a location in space and your PC/Laptop must support USB-C DP. As you turn your head, the monitor moves with your head. In a single desktop monitor environment, should be good. Hopefully there will be support in the future to have multiple virtual monitors using the nreal glasses. If that were to happen, I might have a heck of a lot more room on my desk!

[@ironrme8459]

thanks for the video. What was the run time of the steam deck while connected to the glasses? I'm guessing there is no way to charge the Deck while playing since the c port is in use?

[@digglerdiggler]

Runtime with NReal Air slightly longer as main screen is off an resolution is a little lower (720p). There is an adapter by red magic that lets you charge while the glasses are connected, but it's not sold everywhere and hard to come by. Without the adapter it's pretty much stock battery time + a little bit extra due to above mentioned reasons.

[@02stampede]

Does using these glasses with the steam deck affect battery life in any noticeable way? Best video yet on these glasses. Thanks!

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Thank you so much for your kind comments! I haven't noticed any negative impact on battery consumption, if anything it may be better (it's not having to power the larger panel). I haven't found any official information other than an estimate 5 hours of usage time with a 4000mAh battery. There are so many things that come into play when testing battery life (FPS limit, Power used by the game, etc.) that it's not an aspect I spent much time on. When I do, and likely will as I use them more over time, I'll add it to the written guide.

[@somethingnewreviews6217]

I’m not able to get a 1080P image in any of the games i play…. If i go into the game settings, display setting only shows 720P. I’ve also changed the deck settings for external monitor to 1080P but nothing makes a difference. Any ideas?

[@PaulDominguez]

Great vid. So sad that my Pixel 7 Pro doesn't work but works as an extra screen for my Chromebook. Steam Deck is on my wish list

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Thank you Paul!

[@bonezj117]

I am interested in getting these and I also have a pixel 7 pro and a Chromebook. When using your Chromebook. Can you lock the images and space so that you can use them more for productivity like having two screens set one side by side, but also you're able to freely look down to see the screen on your Chromebook

[@blanka4545]

Pixel blows

[@spaceghostcqc2137]

I see by your selection of CE DX+ as a demo that you are a connoisseur of the finer things in life. Do you think these would be suitable for text editing/reading?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I don't have any problem reading the text on the screen and I normally need reading glasses. Everyone's eyes are going to be different. If you wear prescription glasses, you'll likely need lenses made for them (a few links in the guide page). If not, you should be good also. My brother-in-law brought his M2 Mac over to try with the glasses during Thanksgiving. We had 3 virtual displays up and running on it, wish I had access to that when creating this video. It was very impressive.

[@justinspirational]

Great video thanks.. do you know what the real world equivalent focal length the nreal air lenses need your eyes to focus clearly on (like most vr hmds have a distance focal length on average around 1.5m)? My distance vision is better than close up for optimum clarity at distance my eyes do still need slight correction

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Thank you for checking it out! I don't know an exact answer for you, so I've asked nreal directly to see if they can. I don't want to tell you wrong by making an assumption. If I hear back, I'll reply with an answer.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Found something here: www.reddit.com/r/nreal/comments/xjezmq/prescription_lens_focal_distance the focal length of Nreal Air is 4 meters. Yeah, you could wear contact lenses for the Nreal glasses.

[@justinspirational]

@@WagnersTechTalk thank you

[@seanwhite4586]

What output resolution are getting with the Deck connected? Curious if the glasses are upscaling, or if the deck can ouput a usable resolution higher than 800p

[@TerryRed]

Steam Deck can output up to 4K at 60Hz (in game made or in desktop mode). So for these glasses, it would be running at a native 1080p 60Hz.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

As TerryRed said, 1080p 60Hz

[@neoaxel94]

But steam deck doesn't have power for 1080p right

[@TerryRed]

@@neoaxel94 Yes it does... just depends on the game and how demanding it is.

[@outlawjaw1639]

Can you do a video or article on using Nreal airs with CloudXR to use SteamVR in the glasses?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I appreciate the request! It's honestly not something I've tried at this point, but I'll add it to my todo list to investigate.

[@nexingredior600]

How do you add apps on the Nebula, if you got them from the Google Store? I just got my glasses and I would love to add some features to it. Like AR Games

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I presume they have an API (application program interface) that registers them to Nebula. Not sure of the inner-workings, but when I added/installed Magician Mastery, it showed up the next time I launched Nebula (nothing special I had to do). Hope this answers your question.

[@akshaykamathb2788]

Can I open multiple browser tab in Ar space while connected with phone?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

In AR Space, after opening Chrome you can select Desktop mode. There are options there for surrounding and freemode. Using these, you can have multiple browser instances as separate virtual displays. It's like having multiple monitors, as you turn your head you can view another browser instance. It's not a tab per-se as it is basically multiple monitors each allowing you to view different sites. Hope that answered your question.

[@RicardoMendoza_ricmm]

Thanks for this review! One question about the Steam Deck. Being honest, does the head-tracking-screen (because of no nebula sticky windows) become annoying? I intend to use them with WoW as well as of course other games on the screen, and I'm worried that needing to just do eye movements and not being able to move my head to help focus on something will be way too weird. What's your experience with that?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

There is no head tracking on the Steam Deck (it would need an app. running on the Steam Deck to support it, which doesn't exist -presently). So, everywhere you move your head the display will remain in front of you. I don't find it annoying, but others possibly could. That's why in this video I show you exactly what I see so you can decide if it makes sense for you.

[@reinhardjud8945]

@@WagnersTechTalk is the FOV small enough (i know, normally you are searching for the biggest possible fOV) that focusing on things on the sides/edges is not too hard for the eyes ? because you can not turn your head

[@WagnersTechTalk]

@@reinhardjud8945 The FOV is a bit limited as the projected image is large. You can see roughly 20% on either edge.

@@reinhardjud8945 You can see roughly 20% of the world around you on either edge (may be closer to 15%). It's impossible to make an exact measurement. The video demonstrates better than I can here :)

[@treeb7951]

How's the battery life of the Steam Deck while using the Nreal Air? I'd assume it increased the time if using them as the main display.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

There does seem to be an improvement in battery life while using the glasses but, it's difficult to quantify. It also depends on the game(s) being played and other settings made on the deck itself that can also impact battery life.

[@busyswizzler]

Can you update the firmware of the glasses using chrome on the steam deck ?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I tried via Steam Desktop using Chrome, it didn't appear to recognize the glasses. I also tried in Windows 11, there it did see the glasses and could activate them, but doesn't appear to do much beyond that.

[@SupaaManix]

I also have a Quest 2 but I really have eyestrain watching KZbin on those after 30 min. Text reading is doable but not that great when reading KZbin comments. How do you compare those nReal glasses from a visual comfort standpoint? Thanks for your detailed guide btw.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I personally didn't have any eyestrain while using the glasses. Everyone is going to be a little different. With the Quest 2, of course your entire environment is being lit up by the device and it weighs quite a bit more (perhaps leading to some of the strain). While with the nreal glasses allow seeing more of your real environment and weigh much less. I'm not sure how that will translate for you, will it be less of an eyestrain or more is a bit hard for me to answer. If it's something you're interested in, you could try a pair and return them if they are unusable for you. The only real way to know is to try them for some extended period of time. I find them very comfortable.

[@SupaaManix]

@@WagnersTechTalk Can it be used as a head up display to show Google map while driving? Hear me out: if you use Dex, you can put a black background, hide the bottom bar and put Google Maps only on the right side so you'll have the other half to see the road (it can be any size basically since the window can resizable). Do you have to change your focus from far (the road) to near (Maps)?

[@cainreval7885]

With the USB C port being taken up by the AR glasses, how can you keep the steam deck charged to play games? I imagine a splitter might work, but with the AR glasses also drawing power, I wonder how that would go.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

You may want to ask your question to the nreal community here: www.reddit.com/r/nreal . I simply charge the deck using the charger once the battery gets low.

[@EndLess1UP]

I have been eyeing these... LOL sorry.. Great video. I was worried the refresh rate might make my eyes hurt after a short period of time. I didnt hear you mention that so maybe that isnt an issue? Do you think these are a gimmick or legit? I hate VR, I was an early adapter of the HTC vive from Valve and HTC and I felt like it was cool for about an hour or two then it lost its flair for me. This reminds me so much of back to the future though and that is awesome!

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Hi Buddy, great to hear from you! I've not had any issues with the refresh rate or seeing the display in-general. Most new technology can be perceived as gimmicky to some extent, these are no exception. I was an early adopter of the Quest I and really enjoyed it. I later got the Quest II. I still play it, though not nearly as much as I did a year ago. Mainly because I'm running out of room in my office, no fault of the device. I can see using these for years to come, provided they last that long. I don't think I'll get as much use out of the nebula portion (Android app.) as I will just using them with the Steam Deck. For that, they are pretty awesome and just plug right in.

[@EndLess1UP]

@@WagnersTechTalk Yeah they definitely seem pretty darn cool as a companion with the steam deck. And I'm very excited that you made this video and gave me something to kind of think about. But maybe when the next iteration comes out I might pull the trigger. Thanks for making the video

Have you installed windows to your steam deck? The nreal air work great with my steam deck in steam os but with windows the steam deck screen is mirrored to the nreal air glasses (but does not turn off the screen on the steam deck, thus wasting battery) and the sound doesn't come through the nreal air glasses either.. is there a solution to this like a windows driver or something like that to fix this? Thanks

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I have installed Windows using my guide here: wagnerstechtalk.com/sd-windows see the 2nd point in the Troubleshooting section for the driver I'm using. It's older, but allows extending the display (or mirroring). The current driver on Vavle's site only supports mirroring.

[@justinspirational]

@Wagner's TechTalk thank you very much.. I'll try that driver and hopefully can extend display to nreal and turn off steam deck display when nreal are connected.. actually there was no issue with the audio at least

[@justinspirational]

@Wagner's TechTalk thank you very much. That worked (after installing older driver it crashed as mentioned and on rebooting and going into windows options to extend to only 1 display the screen mentioned steam deck screen goes off and the nreal air remains on when they're plugged in.. in truth I didn't think to check the windows options to extend to one display with the newer driver.. you're saying the newer driver doesn't allow to extend to one display? (Also want to make sure I'm getting the best frame rates and wondered if the newer driver offers better frame rates than this older driver)..Thanks once more

[@justinspirational]

@Wagner's TechTalk I had to revert back to the newer driver as certain games like red dead redemption 2 wouldn't run on the older driver but on checking the windows options I could still set it to extend to 1 display only still with the newer driver and still only keeps the nreal air display on and turns off the steam deck display so I kind of could've done this in the first place without reverting to the older driver

I kinda have a big head too, I guess that's subjective, but they fit fine and doesn't squeeze my temples. The arms do flex and are adjustable to 3 positions up/down also. That's pretty much what they do, provide a giant screen in front of you. I can't comment on other devices that are on the market, this is the only pair of glasses like this that I own, at present. I do have another pair that I'm reviewing, but they aren't at all the quality of the nreal Air (not worth mentioning, may wind up sending them back).

[@nonperial7692]

Ok so the steamdeck should automatically connect to the Xreal? No extra steps required? If that's the case this isn't working.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Yes, as soon as I connected it to the USB-C port at the top, the display transitioned to the glasses. Is this not what you're seeing?

[@nonperial7692]

@WagnersTechTalk correct. But I just found out I need to go to Desktop mode and update the Steamdeck from there and it worked. Thanks for your video by the way.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

@@nonperial7692 Glad you got it, very welcome and thank you for watching!

[@Thebossstage1]

Do these work for people who have trouble seeing long distances?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I can speak for everyone, the good news if you have trouble is that it includes inserts that you can have replaced with custom lenses from a prescription from your optometrist.

[@Thebossstage1]

@@WagnersTechTalk Wow, thanks for the quick response.

Is this worth the money with getting rog asus ally A lot cheaper than apples rendition lol

[@WagnersTechTalk]

LOL, I hear you on that! I'll be receiving the Rog Ally on or around the 13th, I'll let you know after that. I'm not privy to pre-release devices from some companies and Asus is one of them, unfortunately. I can say, expect to see a new written guide here wagnerstechtalk.com/guides after it arrives and I become more familiar with it's capabilities.

[@TheMetalmachine467]

​@Wagner's TechTalk thanks My ally is preparing to ship can't wait

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I'll definitely be covering it extensively on the channel once it arrives! Can't wait myself!

[@JakeDownsWuzHere]

is any of the content or games actually like, stereoscopically 3d? or is everything kind of flat 2d images floating in space?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Great question, at the moment no not really stereoscopic 3D. When the Dude guy jumped out in this video, it did look 3D but wasn't truly 3D. However, nreal is working on that as seen in this post I found on the nreal subreddit yesterday: wagnerstechtalk.com/nrealair/#News_Updates . How that will translate on the Steam Deck is an unknown. You can search that same thread where I asked about the Steam Deck being able to lock displays in space.

[@JakeDownsWuzHere]

@@WagnersTechTalk awesome thanks for the reply. great video! :) thanks for sharing your experience and opinions. great job with the presentation

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Thank you Jake, much more on the way. Working on my next Steam Deck video right now lol

[@shaggy791]

I’m considering getting these, but the only way they seem worth it to me is if the black out screen is used, or if you are in a completely dark room with absolutely zero lights. Who the hell would want to be able to see the surrounding environment?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

The nice thing is, you have an option either way. There may be some situations where you want to watch a video while on a walk, treadmill, etc. and see what's around you. I've tried these at the gym since this video and it worked out pretty well for that also.

[@bitrate1739]

work and hobbies. it works for both. As someone who sets servers up, I find my self pulling my phone out to check status of the shit I set up. so it would save me the hassle of constantly pulling my phone out when I could just glance over n keep working. or if im working on my car I can just stream my dianostics to my phone and just leave it in my pocket so I stop losing the bastard. hell maybe watch a movie well working on it. and as mentioned in the video it works with the steam deck. Id use them on a flight.

[@WhyplayGaming]

When I was using the Real it felt like holding the steam deck 3 feet away from my face. I tested it by putting my steam deck 3 feet from my face and I can see the same image on steam deck and glasses. Mind u I think I'm an unuserall use case for the glasses as I have a very wide field of view so not everyone will have the same experience than me

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Interesting, thanks for sharing your experience. It didn't feel like you're watching a large screen TV mounted to the wall for you? Definitely does to me, I also typically need reading glasses to see something close-up but with the nreal glasses I can see the image perfectly which is odd. I guess we all see things a bit different.

[@WhyplayGaming]

@@WagnersTechTalk I agree I think people should give them a try I was really hoping I would find them useful. I have pre ordered the new Vuture pair I'm gonna see if there's a difference ill put another comment on this video if I get a different experience from that pair.

[@yeagerist1107]

How about fps?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

The glasses support 60fps on the Steam Deck.

[@philippe-lebel]

I'm looking forward these glasses for weeks now but they are out of stock in Europe. I suppose the maker have problems with components because I can't see why he deprive himself to earn money. I hope he'll resolve all problem and be soon able to massproduct et sell everywhere with a decent price.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Hopefully the supply issues will get resolved. When I ordered my pair, it mentioned a 2 week delivery time. Showed up in a few days, I was shocked.

[@breezyazzedits3570]

you need to buy an adapter for it if your using it for the Nintendo so add an additional 60 bucks

[@WagnersTechTalk]

If you're using EmuDeck with the Steam Deck you can just connect the USB-c cable to the glasses. No need for an adapter.

[@bg5426]

I think the only down side is that without their app you can't move or resize the screen like when using with steam deck.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

True, an app. is needed on the device to "lock" it into space. However, hopefully we'll see apps. on other platforms. They just released a version for the Mac which is very impressive (my brother-in-law brought is Mac over to check it out and had 3 displays going). I hear they are working on a PC app. as well. We may also see a SteamOS app. available in the future (not confirmed, just my opinion).

[@flyinggecko3322]

@@WagnersTechTalk Could you link to where they talk about the pc app please? Did they mention any time table? Great video!

[@jimijackson]

They need to enable 3dof on the steam. The static screen that moves with your head is dizzying in fast moving games.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I would like to see that on the Steam Deck as well and mentioned it to them. Hopefully that will happen. It's not dizzying to me, but ideal.

[@jimijackson]

@@WagnersTechTalk I tried halo and def had dizzying moments hehe GTA v was a bit better. The problem is we tend to turn our heads toward where we want out eyes to focus. As opposed to just moving our eyes to a point of focus. I found myself trying to keep my head still as I played :D

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Appreciate your feedback, I'll try to find out more and if they have a timeline for having that feature added. I'll keep the guide updated with any nreal news once I have some.

Why'd have to record them with bright arcade marquee lights in the background, so hard to see.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Without it, it would be a darkly lit room and you couldn't see any head movement.

[@TheKSProduction]

Is the screen transparent? Who would want that?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I mentioned in the video, I had to turn the brightness all the way down in order to record the view from the glasses. At full brightness, it's a different story (more solid). Also, the glasses cover can be used to totally block out the environment or for outside use.

[@blanka4545]

It needs its own battery

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Curious why you think so? Adding a battery means more weight and constant charging.
