Windows multiple displays is a must

[@cyber7550]

I’m glad to hear you say it works great with the steam deck I’ve been wanting a set of these glasses for over a year now they were on indigogo and had another set before them called Nreal light but I’ve never had the money to buy a set but now seeing you say how well they are working on your steam deck I hope to get my own in the next few months 😂 lol they have been on my Amazon wish list for like 6 months 😅 great video man thanks 🙌🏼

[@Blaze2k]

Thanks Cyber! I’ve since received my prescription lenses for them and noticed the corners can be cut off or hard to get the whole image in focus!

[@diegocoimbra1197]

how do i make the image appear on my xbox only the sound comes out how do i make the image appear ?

[@cassiuszzzzzz2638]

Thank you for an excellent review.

[@Blaze2k]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks 😊

I think I’d use a magnetic usb c just in case something catches and stresses that port

Can u play movies with vlc player or mx player Can u fix screen position while watching movies Is it safe for eyes for watching movies?

[@anthonyharding4380]

I’m looking to get myself a pair within the next couple of months. With EE (UK) you can spread the cost of them over a year if you’ve been a customer of theirs for 6+ months 😊

[@Blaze2k]

That’s a pretty good deal! Exciting 😃 hope you like it as much as I liked mine 🔥 thanks for commenting Anthony

[@Sammy10100]

I just ordered a pair

Will this work on the PlayStation portal?

The funny part is is like 20-30 years ago IBM advertised something similar funny it took us a lot of years for it to materialize

[@kompanetspro2116]

I've noticed you wear eyesight glasses. How was your experience without it with Nreal instead?

[@thatbeetus1912]

it looks bad ass.

[@justinspirational]

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

[@TheTekSone]

OK so I wear glasses to see things that are far away. I am wondering if I need to wear my glasses if the lenses are so close to my eyes. When I am laying in bed looking at my iPad, I do not need my glasses. If I am driving or taking a walk or something, I need my glasses to see things that are farther than arms length

[@lourr]

Now that would be good information to know!

[@alamolvera]

Hey, great review 🤙🏻 I’m already considering to get a pair. I just have one question… when you connect them to the Steam deck, is the screen off or is mirroring it? - again, great work

[@Blaze2k]

The screen is off when using with the deck and thanks 😀

[@chappo6915]

Can I use these over my glasses I'm wearing or would I have to take them off ?

[@Blaze2k]

You can, it won't be as comfortable though. It'll be about as comfy as wearing a pair of sunglasses over your prescription glasses

[@jdgreen214]

I do and I really have no issues. I have watched full Netflix movies.

[@RL_Stine_88]

I really thought the frae rate and imput lag would be super bad nn otivable. When he said the input lag was less than playing on the Steam Deck.... That pretty much sold me. lol

[@nicolaslukinda5671]

Amazing,can you connect two nreal glasses to one ps5 for multiplayer gaming?

[@Blaze2k]

Sadly no 😞

[@randerins]

I think the only cons would be that the AR screen can get a bit shaky as we move our head.

[@jayuddin9590]

Hey how do i increase the screen size to max for steam deck? I seem to be getting around 100inch Thanks

[@nullenski]

Set in desktop mode same res as steamdeck

[@MIkeCornetet-rh2se]

Also to make it work with the Nintendo Switch it needs to be plugged into the Dock. wont work with the Switch directly.

[@suprhero1]

So can I plug these directly to my PC and play actual VR games?

[@jdgreen214]

No. no camera for spacial awareness so no real tracking outside of gyroscope built in.

[@Solley2010]

Where are you getting your prescription lenses made ?

[@Blaze2k]

Lensology in the UK. They were pricy but they ship them to the USA pretty fast

[@jdgreen214]

I am able to use mine with my regular glasses with no issues. I use my galaxy note 10 that has dex which gives me a desk top experience. Great with movie streaming apps.

[@truetech4158]

@@Blaze2k Could probably make spares or a main pair by taking a dremel to a dollar store pair of reading glasses. I am gonna try that first!

@@truetech4158 ​​⁠great idea! That or some old glasses! You will still have to make sure they attach to the little metal nose piece but you can take that from the template they provide ya

[@truetech4158]

@@Blaze2k It would be a first attempt, however, my mom and her sister and even my grandfather just so happened to have been opticians, lol. I was able to observe what goes on somewhat though minus all the math. Theres room for open source solutions. It's really just plastic at the end of the day that can be edited with things such as the dremel or a drill press, even adjusting curvature with mild heat. The arms for the headset for possibly allow for this, if not to mod it with 3d printing or mold making something from ultralight carbon fibre based filaments or materials. Graphene and aerogel can not be ruled out if to consider in the making of ultra light weight structures.

[@cranmoot3811]

Have they sorted the 30fps per sec cap in game mode yet????

[@Blaze2k]

I believe so

[@XREAl_Tech_Support]

Hi, the limited fps issue on Steamdeck is fixed by the latest firmware.

[@Lectrosoul]

Head tracking? can you lock screens in place?

[@mutzpunter195]

Can the glasses be used on the Steam Deck even if the mobile phone (Samsung A51 5g) is not compatible? I would only use the Nreal on the Steam Deck.

[@Blaze2k]

Yes, there’s no need for the phone if you’re just using with the steam deck!

[@mutzpunter195]

@@Blaze2k Thanks for the quick reply, also not for the first time unlock or something?

[@Blaze2k]

@@mutzpunter195 nope, the glasses just act as a display device essentially, there’s no compute hardware in the glasses. The only reason you’d need the phone is if you want to use their AR space app to browse the web and get head tracking etc.

[@davidgordon3744]

Can you explain why you say it’s like having a 201inch screen at 6 meters, vs saying a 130 inch screen at 10ft or 24 inch screen at 2ft? Does it feel its that far away when viewing?

[@XREAl_Tech_Support]

Hi, let me clarify this for you. The 201 inches screen can be got in AR mode, and it is at 6 meters and adjustable. Under screen casting mode, you can have a 130 inches virtual screen at a fixed 4 meters away.

[@anguslean4058]

If you put the glasses on and look at a wall with a video or something running It appears to fill up a whole wall almost ten feet wide

[@davidgordon3744]

@@anguslean4058 thanks. I got the answer from another reviewer before. They informed me that the glasses are in fact able to give you the perception of distance. Knowing they, I assume they may do so by how much the eyes cross while looking at an image, as the less they cross the further the image appears to be. So, it’s not only a statement of the size of a screen to a distance, but also the perceived distance at which the glasses make the screen appear to be at.

[@RL_Stine_88]

I wonder how much the prescription senses costs to be made?

[@junekim8256]

please about nreal air 3d movies

[@kenmasters916]

But did you watch Chinese opera while wearing theses ??

[@Yves_Cools]

@Blaze2K your video sounds like a fanboi piece or sales ad without mentioning the following nreal air MAJOR CONS : - cannot be purchased in certain regions of the world - no support for Windows 10/11 - only runs on a handful of Android phone types - Nebula app blocked in certain regions of the world - extremely limited number of apps available

[@Garfie1d73]

All true and he doesn't mention it. It's paid advertisement all over.

[@mcabby6469]

I returned it after trying it out for an hour. Good luck everyone.

[@aweome2121]

Why is that

[@novaspritenovasprite423]

Make sure you check if your android phone is compatible with their ap if you intend to use it with your phone. The list is really limited. They had to send a phone with the units to some testers because of this.

[@futuristicentity2417]

You would rather stare at your screen all day plus I know it drains a lot of battery life I would wait for the next technology when it comes out next year there is SUPPOSED to be better devices coming out.

[@drewscentral5587]

bruh i really want one of these low key.. they said theya re working on getting developers to work on a 3d vidceo app for their glasses. they technicallys aid it can do it. mater of getting software to run on that. which will be dope. id love to have this when Avatar 2 The way of water comes out on 3d blu ray to watch that movie on these in 3d! we heading to see IMAX 3d of avatar way of water :D im excited.

[@orangapahikaranl6347]

The huge screen is just an effect and a mind trick, you have no reference of how big it really is. Now it just looks like a laptop screen close to your eyes. Maybe its just me because im used to oculus quest and big screen where you sit in a cinema so you have the surrounding as reference. Nreal is nice though and still a must have but the hype is not for me as the glasses do not fit my head comfortably and the actual lenses are very small so i cant see the full screen.

[@final_counter8836]

Is anybody having issues with the break glasses in steam deck ,my glasses turn off after a few minutes of use and the steam deck display stays off and my glasses as well I unplug it and plug back in and then it just does it even faster , I updated it hoping it was a issue with glasses but still does it and I don’t hear anybody talking about this issue

[@Blaze2k]

Make sure you’re not pressing the power button on the headset ! I did that accidentally several times

[@final_counter8836]

@Watching KZbin Daily damm I hope it’s not my steam deck port the glasses I can return not the steam deck😂

[@final_counter8836]

@UCC23h7y5vxHccEdmvoPZcwg it would work for couple minutes but when I try playing a game either a minute later or right away the glasses power off and then I start hearing audio back on the deck but the deck screen is still off, so I unplug it and plug it back in , glasses turn on but then turn off seconds later ,I have some issues with iPhone aswell , but it might be due to compatibility issues with apps,HBO does not display on glasss , paramount plus doesn’t display , KZbin works perfect Netflix works perfect

[@final_counter8836]

@@Blaze2k interesting thought , but it’s not that , I’d be playing and then it would turn off :/

[@XREAl_Tech_Support]

Hi, there are two possible causes. The first is that you may have pressed the display button; and the second is that you can try to change the battery setting of Steamdeck to 'Battery Storage Mode'.

[@dokezmon]

what about PC?!

[@Blaze2k]

Yep works

[@higher005]

Can you view 3D movies?

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

thats not 201" :) i think the realistic estimate was 24" screen 1 meter away.

[@davidgordon3744]

At a 46 degree field of view, the screen size is actually more comparable to a 24 inch at 2 ft away, not 1 meter, which is a good difference. I agree with your concern though, and want to see why it’s more compared to a 201 inch screen at 6 meters away (17ft few inches according to my math). Does it appear to be further away than a close screen? Maybe it feels that way because you don’t need to cross eyes like you would being so close to a 24 inch? I’ll find out myself in December as I’ve preordered the competitor, viture one.

[@SheikhRahman]

@@davidgordon3744 please come back and update your comment as we'd be interested in your feedback. I'm seriously considering these.

[@Jigxs]

Really?

Why is this product not sold by official Sony or Samsung? not so popular

[@futuristicentity2417]

I will give you my experience on all of this it's over hyped and limited to the degree and only compatible with specific devices and apps are very limited it's not what you think it is and is more for early adopters. This has been stated multiple times my advice to people who are getting over excited don't be you're not missing out on anything you would rather be glued to the mobile screen there is no need for this yet wait until the next big tech comes out next year.

[@c.h.7580]

No one cares about your opinion and its so negative. Nobody likes negativity about new tech.

I hate that 200 inch screen advertising. It's like saying it's a 10000 screen at 100 yards. It's like 8 inch screen from where u hold ur phone

[@Garfie1d73]

It isn't a 201 inch display. It's more like a 24 inch monitor. Why do all these reviews lie about the size? Getting paid? Thumbs down.

[@Blaze2k]

You don't know what you're talking about. On the AR experience you can scale it up to the equivalent of a 201" display infront of you by adjusting depth/distance and size of the image. The only limiting factor is the visible portion of display which is mitigated by the fact you can move your head to see more! The only experience that isn't capable of 200" is HDMI input which locks in your focal position at around a 120inch equivalent. They are working on software to enable head tracking with the Steam Deck to enable an experience like their AR phone app letting you scale it up to 200inches should you wish.

[@Blaze2k]

Also for clarification, I did not get paid.
