Criminy, the difference between me working with one or two full sized monitors is a huge difference in productivity

It's really hard to get things done sometimes without having a full second monitor. The laptop screen really doesn't suffice.

@mauve I'm very interested in that direction! Have you been doing this? If so, how's it been going for you?

@cwebber I've been using a less fancy version without the head tracking and I've found it better than laptop screens when I'm on the go. I'm gonna save up a bit to get this new model later this year though.
Would probs need the perscription lens inserts to see clearly. With my current setup I take breaks every 3 hours or more. My current glasses: pro.viture.com/

@mauve You may have seen my writeup about the DIY FOSS Cyborg guy's setup dustycloud.org/blog/the-diy-fo

Zacchae claims no eye fatigue in using the XReal Airs with prescription inserts, though that doesn't seem to be the case generally for many people I've seen writing about it

I have enough eye fatigue as is, that's maybe the main thing holding me back

@cwebber @mauve I have the Viture Pro and yeah I get some eye fatigue from it after a while. The FoV is also pretty disappointing, which might be unavoidable with glasses that use birdbath optics like these

I'm hoping in the next few years we'll see glasses with waveguides that you could conceivably just wear as your regular glasses and then boom it's a display when you plug it in

@cwebber @mauve Also a weird thing I've noticed that may be tricky to compensate for: my heartbeat through the frames makes the virtual display visibly shake a bit

@jfred @cwebber Whoa. I haven't encountered that. Is it your forehead or your eyes, do you think?

@mauve @cwebber I think it's my nose actually. The bridge of the glasses rests right on your nose and the nose has a lot of blood vessels, so it kinda makes sense
