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.
@cwebber Mb one giant virtual display could do the trick :P
@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: https://pro.viture.com/
@mauve You may have seen my writeup about the DIY FOSS Cyborg guy's setup https://dustycloud.org/blog/the-diy-foss-cyborg/
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
@jfred @cwebber @mauve My main issue is the lack of an IPD adjustment. I mostly like them but using them to game on my ROG Ally X I have to use a plugin that shrinks the display area slightly to keep the edges sharp instead of blurry.
For my uses they are nearly perfect, but I'd really appreciate if they stopped marketing stuff like this as a "giant tv projected in front of you" and instead went with "small monitor right in front of your face" which is more honest.
@reflex @jfred @cwebber Yeah! They actually have an extra level of dimming rather than just on/off.
I mostly use my vitures for coding when on the go and for watching stuff via the neckband while I'm doing chores.
The xreal beam pro seems neat as a companion device but I'll probably just use my phone instead if I end up getting their glasses.
@mauve @jfred @cwebber Interesting. Do they have anything like the polarization button because that is awesome on these.
Oh, one other unexpectedly good use of the Viture is as a monitor for my camera. Cheaper than an Atomos Ninja V, and my body has most of the features those monitors have.
