Been wandering around the city with a satelite view on my HMD at night. Looking for new places and navigating like I was in a videogame with my chats and media up in the corner
@mauve haha what?! i have a hard time visualizaing what this looks like, do you have any screenshots?
like, was yr view completely obscured by the satellite view and you were wandering as if on a minimap? or could you still see the environment around you from fpv
@cblgh so this is a screnshot from their marketing materials which is pretty accurate I think. Basically I have a lot of peripheral vision outside of where the glasses are and they're slightly transparent so dark mode apps let me see through them. So I can see the street if I focus on it else I'm immersed in whatver I'm lookin at. https://assets.newatlas.com/dims4/default/3d3cd9e/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1100x608+0+0/resize/1100x608!/quality/90/?url=http:%2F%2Fnewatlas-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F83%2F13%2F95221fe1403e8ba38dd7d2cbd98e%2F01.jpg
@cblgh it's fun because I can adjust my eyes focus point to either look at the display or the world.
@mauve ah! i can understand how it works from this! this is some dennou coil shit mauve holy shiet
i love how normal this setup looks as well, not like wearing a vive walking around in town XD
@mauve which model is this again?
@cblgh Haaa, I wish it was nearly as cool as dennou coil :P But it's closer than any of the past commercial setups.
I'm using the Rokid Max https://global.rokid.com/products/rokid-max
Primarily because it can adjust for folks that need glasses and it's got the best brightness and biggest FoV.
Their competitor the XReal Air looks more like "normal glasses" and has similar specs. https://www.xreal.com/air/
They also have a thing that lets you cast to the glasses like a networked display. https://www.xreal.com/beam/
@cblgh last night it was with my samsung phone but I'l figuring out some sort of lanyard or harness to hold ny deck when I'm on the go so I don't need to hold it the whole time.
i use the deck when seated and on short walks though.
been considering migrating to a pinephone pro at some point but I need to do more research.
@mauve ah! it was the rokid max, rad :> when out and about are you using them with yer phone or the steam deck?
