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 XReal Air2 pros and now the One Pro.

i love them for movies/tv and gaming with steam deck. it’s great! i use it all the time and recommend it. eye strain is not too bad.

BUT… i don’t love the resolution and text aliasing, especially when moving your head when stabilized. it is workable for sure, and can serve well in a pinch - but i find it unpleasant for work/coding in any real capacity.

@trey @cwebber That makes sense, I usually set my display scale factor to 2.0 to compensate but some UIs just can't handle it sadly. The aliasing sounds rough. SimulaXR did custom stuff to wayland rendering to make text more clear but that hasb't made it out of there and sadly the xreals have no chance of doing the dame at the X1 chip level.
