Xrel look sick, def want to check them out. the 400 price tag honestly seems about the right price for what they can do.

[@LoganRVR]

I think it seems high to me because I’m comparing to the price and capabilities of the quest line of headsets.

[@TheGreatPoky]

I own a pair of the Xreal pros 2’s they are a fantastic pair of AR glasses can pair to an external displays via a local network, through the external battery and computing device that attaches to it is a bit slow and it overheats the small fan side is also a little noisy.

Check out the Visor by Immersed

[@actualGG]

my next reading glasses are gonna be meta glasses 100%. I just which I knew more about this product a few months ago when I got my new normal glasses..... keep. going with videos! g luck x

[@TheGreatPoky]

Are the meta-Ray-Ban’s considered AR I don’t think they display or augments reality in anyway.

[@LoganRVR]

They are only considered smart glasses, but they felt relevant enough to mention in this video. Did you see the google teaser for their glasses yesterday? They had a built in HUD display. But were built like the meta raybans

[@BAWWAABAAT-RA]

2nd screen glasses probably has Nintendo taking notes.

[@LoganRVR]

That would be crazy if Nintendo released a similar product

[@BAWWAABAAT-RA]

@LoganRVR knowing them, it will be something out of left field when they finally do.

[@robertarnobit5357]

I don't play video games. So I'm more interested in productivity. I'm wondering if these glasses can be hooked to tablets also. Good video 👍

[@mbk1251]

Yes it can your talking about the xreal then yes or laptop as long has they got USB-C 3.1/2 image output ability I'm using huawei mate pro 10.9 thinking to add the beam so I get 3 screen up for work purposes but my main use is for movies even without the beam the screen pairs to be as big 100 plus inches yet to do a walk around in public U wont regret the cost

I've come to the conclusion that there are 4 types of consumer level glasses: 1. Smart Glasses (speaker/mic/camera) Entry-level with no screen in lens, connects to smartphone by Bluetooth 2. Wearable Display Glasses (screen in lens) Bird-bath type optics & Waveguide optics. Wired connection to phone in order to run with no processor inside glasses 3. HUD Glasses (screen/camera/mic/radios) Standalone wireless glasses 4. AR Glasses (screens/cameras/mic/speaker/processor/sensors) Wired & Standalone Wireless Top picks: 1 - TCL RayNeo X2 are the best standalone wireless AR/XR glasses 🤓 2 - INMO Air 2 (standalone wireless) 3 - Xreal Air 2 Ultra (wired - no internals)

[@LoganRVR]

What would you say is the best version of smart glasses? Is it clearly meta or are there other OEM's you prefer.

[@tama47_]

No Vision Pro? It is closer to real AR than some of these product, like the XReal and RayNeo, which is just a portable monitor. While I can't justify getting a Vision Pro, I'm perfectly content with XReal Air Pro 2 for on the go use.

[@LoganRVR]

I wanted to focus on products that overlay onto your real world vision rather than creating a completely virtual environment. That’s the core difference between AR and VR.

[@freddywayne]

TCL RayNeo X2 are probably the best consumer AR/XR glasses right now $749 USD. They're completely standalone wireless with a Snapdragon XR processor (same chip inside Meta Quest 2), camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, Microphones & Speakers with 6DoF. *Those Meta Ray-Bans glasses are a waste of time & money imo.

[@peterjansen4870]

really sounds like he havn't tried the glasses because he doesn't see the cool benefits and complains about the weight while this isn't really a problem

[@LoganRVR]

You’re right I haven’t, I was just trying to summarize all the notes I’ve seen online. Most reviews I read and watched said they were too heavy to wear all day every day which is the standard I’m trying to compare to. I see the benefits of having a second display at specific times like a flight or travel but don’t see many other use cases.

[@actualGG]

as for feedback, maybe use more b-rolls when you need to look at your script for long,. Also consider speaking slower, feels like you are running. no hurry!

[@LoganRVR]

Thank you for the feedback! I always have problems of talking too fast, I’ll make sure to add more visuals next time.

[@nox2164]

BRo u forgot rayneo x2

[@LoganRVR]

IMO the rayneo x2 tries to do everything great and ends up doing nothing well. It’s a good idea of what will be possible in the future in a smaller form factor.

[@nox2164]

@@LoganRVR yes, but if it was on the first screen in miniature, it would be worth including it in the list. vision pro can probably do more, but they look stupid, so in my opinion, the next generations will be better than apple. And now it's not bad at all

[@freddywayne]

Having no screens in the Meta Ray-Bans is a complete deal-breaker. They're pointless at their asking price. 🤷🏾‍♂️
