Thread of stuff I wanna buy. Will "like" my own toot if I get it.
1. BOOX Mira USB-C #EInk display. I have a little Boox e-reader and have been liking it for reading manga on the go. I'm currently using an LCD USB-C monitor so the form factor works great. I think this would be useful for improving battery usage + working outside.
2. Nreal Air #AR display. I tried a shittier version of this in the past (Mad Gaze) and it was almost good enough for typical use. I think this thing will be a good companion for when I'm on the plane and want to do some productivity stuff or maybe walking around. Might also be useful once there are #monado #OpenXR drivers for this thing and I can use @stardustxr with it.
4. Since I'm really liking my Rokid Max, I might get their Rokid Station device which they're marketing as an Android TV for AR headsets. I could probably get termux on this thing at least. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/2023/08/02/rokid-station-is-the-first-android-tv-box-for-ar-glasses-and-it-works/?sh=1894b1d05cde
5. Kinda want to add EEGs to my loadout. Maybe for controlling a cursor in XR? Biggest question is whether there are SDKs that work on Linux. https://www.emotiv.com/insight/
6. A cool robot arm that can act as a 3d printer, laser engraver, or pen plotter.
7. A head mounted display with an Android TV box you can wear as a neckband. It can do everything my rokid max can and more. I could install termux to do dev on it or RDP into other boxes.
8. This funky bluetooth mouse that's made to be thumb controlled.

My hand pain has been really bad lately and this could make it easier to use my phone. A bit more pricay than I usually risk on bluetooth stuff tho.
@mauve the air doesn't even have 6DoF though
@stardustxr TBH I don't think I need it for my main use cases right now. I thinm 3dof for viewing a static "sphere" around my head will suffice for mobile use cases.
I think for 6dof I'd want to use either VR or a passthrough AR thing like the Lynx
@mauve btw this kinda blew my mind when you posted, i had no idea this product segment existed at all :~
@cblgh it's fun! I' actually wearing my Rokid Max now so I can do some work on my steam deck in the park.
@mauve I'd check out Brainflow (https://brainflow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html )
They have support for a range of hardware with APIs in a ton of languages.
@wrstscrnnm6 Oh wow that's very useful thank you. Is this something you've used for your own projects already?
@mauve Only dabbled a little in personal projects, but I did some work for OpenBCI a while back and their SDK is built on top of Brainflow.
@mauve I really hate websites where I have to continually scroll to advance the frames on the animation... Just put up a video ... I didn't even make it to the bottom because my fingers got tired of scrolling on the mouse pad on my laptop.
@skryking Big mood. Especially since my scroll wheel is "virtual" and sometimes isn't enough to trigger the page change which is even worse. I iust want to see the tech specs and scroll in peace 😭
💀
@mauve @stardustxr I feel like they should give up on the "theyre glasses" thing. It's like textured vegetable protien is better than "fake meat" - it's not a vegetable pretending to not be a vegetable (badly).
play to your strengths?
i kinda like the look of Fpv flight goggles

i want to feel like a mech warrior pilot?
@mixmix @stardustxr Yeah! I actually liked the design of the rokid glasses before the Max which looked like a cylon visor of sorts. I thing lobger term I'm going to ditch the see through glasses form factor and go witg something like a bigscreen vr headsrt and a 360 camera on a tripod to get a third persib view
3. Probably instead of the Nreal Air I'll get the https://air.rokid.com/ since the app is installable in Canada and I like the look more. :P
Also seems about as compatible with my Steam Deck.
