Nreal Air AR Glasses

Post by Deckard »

Didnt really know much about these but seen quite a few recent positive (but sponsored) vids and reviews -

80g and has a 46° field of view, 1920 x 1080 resolution per eye, and a 90 Hz refresh rate.

Runs off your device which can be a mobile phone or Switch or a Deck !

If they were 300 rather than 400 then I would be tempted as love a pair for travelling / bed time media consumption.



From the web -
I used the Beta nebula app yesterday and was able to run the Neral air glasses on my M1 Mac Mini. Using the Beta nebula app I was able to virtually Have 3 additional screens. So Although this is early days for AR this is coming along pretty nicely. I have my glasses for a few months now and I have been showing everybody what the future holds
Seems to be a new (?) "thing" I see as shortly coming out too -

Been keeping an eye (no pun intended) on these over the last year or so as bits of information crop up. Seems they have gone over a little refinement in styling since I last saw them but they still look ok.

If they do actually produce something of this size and weight that works (at least) on a par with current VR (and hopefully better) then they really could be the game changer. Also, in the future maybe your own prescription lens in front?

I see
The additional prescription frame allows you to fit prescription lenses to the glasses, so you don’t need to wear your regular pair underneath.

That would be amazing. I'd absolutely use AR for deskwork. I've messed with the virtual monitors in Quest and they're absolutely of a usable fidelity but trying to use a keyboard and mouse whilst you're embedded in VR is challenging to say the least :-)

Another way for us to all only be partially present in the real world :)

In all seriousness this looks very cool. Lose the wire and you have some subtle entertainment at work ;)

Impressive! Although not sure about replacement for PC screens as the keyboard and mouse would be difficult to control. Used the Oculus virtual desktop and playing some games with a keyboard is a challenge!

Absolutely great for watching content though!

The point is that it is AR not VR, so you can still see your keyboard.

I'm currently working on the office sofa, so I'm limited to my laptop screen rather than my fancy desktop setup when docked. It's a tempting use case (justification!) to give it a try...

Touches on the recently released Mac software, and also shows it's not really ready for the iPhone yet (needs a dongle and only screen mirroring at the moment).

Jitter on Mac app supposedly fixed in next update (late October).

So the tech lust is kicking in to find you must be an EE customer to be able to buy one (or go to a shop!!

I'm so weak...

So ordered a free EE PAYG SIM card so that I could be an EE customer to order a set (seems very few shops stock it).

But I saw on Reddit you can order from Amazon.co.jp, wich is something that worked perfectly for me when I wanted an Egret Mini II.

Looks like I have a pair arriving Monday. £330.25 including all the import taxes.

It's the porn that I'm looking forward to.
