@@thelichisdeath Fun fact!

Ohh, missed you tagging lich, I didn't see that originally, I'm blind Also over and under and side by side doesn't fully explain the fact that the headset would still need to be encoded for video with 180fov* where tvs use a regular 19/10 ratio with a offset view for 3d. I assume the headsets 3d mode is for 180fov vids cause it's what most vr "videos" are filmed at and would make it easy to view these "videos" that their customer base would likely use the headset for.
Riley as someone who has done a fair bit of development with a variety of AR glasses, I'd recommend testing these devices outside to see how they perform in natural sunlight. These products are often promoted with images of people using them as they walk down the street or sitting on a park bench. In reality, on a bright day, you often can't see your user interface.
I mean the screen technology just isn't there yet with these microdisplays right? Like I'm not sure anything available on the market right now is bright enough to see in full sunlight.
They are testing them with studio lights which are brighter than any traditional indoor setting. So not quite direct midday sunlight but maybe a cloudy day
It's definitely moving along, getting closer to something I'd be interested in. I like the support for people who need glasses, and that some of the features are getting better over time. I'm really thinking that maybe in 10 years (possibly less, maybe a bit more) we'll see something for ~$500 that can do basically everything we want (VR, AR, productivity, gaming, video consumption).
@@vandalpaulius Right now, I think its resolution is a bit lacking, and the software needs a fair bit of work. Basically, it needs to mature a bit, but you can see the advantages already.
Someone just needs to release glasses like this where the non-AR video is fixed in space like regular AR, instead of fixed to the direction you're facing. We're so close.
The 'old' version of these glasses by Rokid (air) and NReal (Light) had that feature with 6DOF tracking but it looked even more weird which people who were buying it didn't like. It also had slight issues with ergonomics & battery life so now they stripped it down to just display to market as 'lightest' consumer AR glasses and no battery required etc. Quite shame they didn't carry the 6DOF feature on the new version. Like Riley said in Nreal Air video, in some aspects these glasses are a downgrade compared to old versions but looks bit more socially acceptable now so I guess that's the trend for now.......
Nreal (xreal now) literally today announced the xreal beam adapter which turns the nreal air glasses into a 3 dof device when connected to any device. I literally bought the Rokid max and immediately cancelled and bought the older xreal air when I saw that. You don't get the 120Hz mode but the software support and future add ons we're getting from xreal are going to make it a better long term device. Who knows, maybe Rokid will surprise but we'll see.
@@ImpulseBuilds Is 3 degrees good enough to make a difference? What I need is the ability to put two windows next to each other and turn my head to look at them both without the screen moving. That comes out to at least 10 degrees, I would think.

The only reason id see myself actually buying this stuff. But I'd should be standalone for me to get it. Just want to hop onto my bicycle or escooter with a pair of sunglasses and navigate with such an overlay.
We need everything informative on the HUD like maps, weather info, news, google search and google translate etc... I can't believe these things are STILL only used as glorified video monitors. 🤦
This is more or less the kind of technology that I have been looking forward to for the last decade. With things like this breaking into the market, I can see a future where I could have a desktop without a monitor at all within the next 5-7 years.
We're definitely getting closer. Just need to shrink the frames of the glasses, add head tracking and make the whole lot wireless. :) Also, work on the GUI obviously to make it smoother and a better input method, although one of those small, fold up keyboard + touchpad combo's might do the trick.
Buying one set of glasses like this seems like an amazing alternative to multiple monitors, the arms to put them on, and the cable clutter that comes with all of that.
I use my nreal glasses with a mokibo keyboard and my s23+ in dex, and do exactly what is described in the end of the video. I'm a software engineer and that is how I mainly work now. I use termux to have full Linux environment within dex and use vscode, rails, postgres, redis, and more, all running from my phone.

The form factor makes more sense than a giant honking contraption which needs a vice grip. I still think direct retinal projection is a must have though. It's going to be a couple decades.
It would take us a lot shorter if more companies attempted to pursue the form factor, and if ridiculously exclusive patents didn't stop them from development! We have the technology, it is feasible and prototypes have been made.
All I really want from AR is virtual multiple monitors. Think a multi-monitor setup but you only have 1 physical monitor, with 2, 3, 4, etc "virtual" ones around that. For productivity this would be amazing, especially if you're limited on space.
@@JackCarsonite Well true, but gotta consider the importance of having one if there's an issue with the AR driver after an update etc. The Nreal ones actually have a sort of virtual monitor thing but it's only on Mac unfortunately.
Yup im right there with you. Im waiting for that feature. I tried the nreal glasses and they just didnt do the job. Including the factor that i dont use a mac. I would like to carry my 15" laptop and use the glasses to program easier. Were getting closer though.
@@OnPoint760 Yeah, ever since the first commercial AR stuff was announced, I've had a dream of having a virtual multi-screen setup with my laptop wherever I go. Getting used to working with 2-3 screens really has spoiled by work habits. Particularly when coding or doing 3D modelling.
@BobShimits I would really love virtual monitors but as a editor/photographer i need atleast 1 high quality screen. Imagine having a infinity desktop, you could show all your tabs at once, just turn your head.
More ar and vr is what this channel needs. VR game benchmarks would be nice, you would probably be the first channel on youtube to include them to gpu tests. Also, there is no reason, why you couldnt do some content on the most currently used VR headset, the Quest 2. Ofc mostly related to PCVR, not mobile.
These sort of things are the tech I am actually interested in- even if these are too big to be practical yet. VR headsets don't really interest me at all, but having "glasses" that let me access info or see road directions or relevant information I want at a glance- that's cool.
if they would make AR laptop compatible glasses, that would be super amazing. I can already imagine, that you carry a teeny tiny netbook and connect to this, then you get however many 4K displays. That would be insanely good. But maybe in the future?
So I have the Nreal air, like the quality of the display. Basically use it as a portable big screen monitor for my laptop. Could also be really helpful for mobile video editors who need more screen space than their laptop can provide.
I've been waiting for years. The only thing I want AR glasses for is to have GPS as a HUD display while I'm driving, but most of these companies keep focusing on the wrong things like music or VR. They make the glasses way too bulky for things that are just not practical.
One advantage of having the setup he describes where you have a mouse & keyboard and the glasses provide your screen experience - no more shoulder surfing. That alone is going to be worth something to a lot of people.
I still love my older Rokid Airs, but I'm interested in all that the Rokid Max offers. Really good quality products from Rokid and great for guys like me who are near sighted with their myopia dials.
A cool implementation would be to combine it with a laptop. So you eseentially have a portable multimonitor setup, using a laptop screen, and then hovering AR screens around it.
Samsung recently trademarked "Galaxy Glasses," which tracks with some internal pitch videos that leaked for 3DOF and 6DOF AR glasses concepts. DeX is actually one of the better applications of the Nreal Airs for media consumption and a portable desktop, even if it's not really a 3DOF AR mode. Samsung developing their own AR glasses could really galvanize development on a proper AR desktop experience. Also think it's an important piece of the all-in-one device puzzle you mentioned in your recent NexDock review, which is a future I'm super into myself.
Something I don't get is that all of these require wired connections, which ruins their use as daily sunglasses or glasses; while the technology to make it wireless exists. Because most people won't want to have a cable dangling while going out. It's what kept me from buying them as they'd be expensive to use once or twice then forget about for regular sunglasses. And it's strange because Google pulled this off a decade ago but there are even cheap Chinese AR sunglasses that run android natively. I had one and could side load apps, it even had a wifi chip in it. I could stream Netflix while chilling outside even without a phone on me if there was wifi. It was bulkier than regular sunglasses but not by that much. It even had audio output and a camera in it. The only reason it was a bad experience was because it was cheap and not made by a legit company. I'd gladly pay more for a better version of it. So you'd think this would be possible by bigger companies. Imagine being able to run navigation, take videos, watch videos/browse the internet, without having to physically tether to something else all the time.
The reason is battery life. Without a cable, no "smart" glasses have ever been practical. Not even Google glass. I wish the technology was there too, but batteries just don't have enough density yet.
@@Ambrovious Not really, I have the Inmo Air and you actually get a couple of hours on it. Maybe not a long trip but going out in your area it's fine as long as you turn it off when you're not using them
I was skeptical that Apple would be able to succeed with AR/VR…but seeing how other companies are trying it, it sets them up to do the iPod/iPhone thing where they come in after everyone does the R&D and they work out all the pain points and make the device super attractive. So, nReal and these guys have teed them up.
Also honestly some of Apple's products are kind of ugly lol. If they managed to make Airpods a fashion statement then I'm sure they could make the AR glasses just as "fashionable".
@@nicka5040 I think they look nice tbh. I wish they had kept the original AirPods design. Something about the “ear pods without a cable” just hits me right in the pleasure zone of my brain. Too each their own I guess. For me it fits the exact kind of “future hippie minimalism” thing I love so much.
I would love to see Riley's opinion on the Viture One XR Glasses. Odd that Alex / Linus reviewed them over on the main channel while Riley has reviewed many AR Glasses over here. Could we get something like a round up of the current landscape of AR glasses?
Where I could see these being really useful is in any sort of repair industry. Imagine having a repair document or guide overlayed next to the device being worked on.
I am eagerly anticipating the delightful social aspects that come with engaging in conversations with animated users online. The prospect of meeting new people and exchanging ideas with them fills me with excitement 😀
1080p per eye? And also, how big does the screen seem if you make it as big as you can? Please do a full video on use on computer as well or just for media consumption. For Travel or people with small rooms, is it a viable replacement for a big screen?
the second Apple come out with one of these, im buying it. Get a bare bones version of vision pro into a set of not horrific sunglasses and they can have all my money
These look very similar to the Viture glasses, except the Viture's have better placement of speakers and a magsafe-style lead to connect to your devices. I also already have them sat on my desk, now.
whats nice about these after i did a search is that its 1080p 120 hz which is way better, comparing to other ar glasses he reviewed are 60hz, doesnt matter to watching videos, but some phone games or if you connect to a laptop etc can work with high refresh rate, sure higher resolution would help, even with a 4k vr headset its still blurry since screen is so close to your eye, but at least these can be considered as a portable big screen
It’s not just about the refresh rate of the content (FPS) but about the fact that the display has to update when you move your head. Many people find anything below 90Hz a little jarring or feel nausea.
@@hammadsheikh6032 while that's true, but that generally only apply to vr headset where you have 6 dof movement when you are gaming, these g.asses doesn't require huge amount of sudden movement since it's pretty much just a bit screen floating in front of you instead of vr game
14:50 I feel like this would be similar to when I'm scrolling through a webpage for example on my phone and I accidentally scroll an ad but my eyes keep trying to look through the rest of the page, which is not a great feeling, it's almost like falling.
i just wish i could try it somewhere, i have a huge amount of down time at work (fault team) and these sound amazing for netflix and the like, but it's a lot of money if it turns out I dont get on with it.
17:30 yeah I would love something like that to do light work/social media/youtube at the cafe. Could use an existing Apple bluetooth keyboard etc. I also wear glasses so the ability to adjust focus is important to me... I am going to seriously look at products like this now, ty. Would also like to be able to plug it into my home PC as well...
17:52 that's where you're wrong, you do NOT have all of that on a 13/15/17 inch display - That is only one display, at a smaller (visualized) size. Glasses like this allow for a potentially huge multi monitor set up anywhere.
This type of tech is already going to be a HUGE hit with anyone that cares about privacy when they are working a project. If you use these as your primary display for your computer you don't have to worry about ANYONE seeing what you are working on (boss, co-workers, customers, etc.). That right there alone make these worth the price. And, if these draw power over USB-C from the device that they are connected to as long as that device is pulgged in you won't have to worry about running out of power or recharging at all.
Thanks for the review. Sounds pretty cool, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I'd love to find glasses that can provide a true AR experience (like something in Quest 3), but I guess that's not available right now? Bigscreen Beyond seems close, but that's mostly for purely VR, and they're still bulky compared to glasses. Any recommendations? Even the upcoming Apple headset looks bulky.
I very much agree with Riley here. The no-battery design is great, and it is best to offload the computation load to other devices. And the direction they should go for is really just "having 3 screens at the same time". The active area by the retina can actually be smaller, having some kind of fish eye vision is fine enough. A 3d motion sensor, a small pixel-dense display at the center & a large rough display around it, and a diopter.
I travel full time and let me tell you, the second we've got an absolutely rock solid - several hours at a time workable - AR space monitor, im getting a pair. It would make my life so much easier!
That's awesome, I love that you actually read the instructions! Unlike that awful Galaxy watch video you did like half a year ago with this guy that doesn't understand fitness or Smartwatch.
[08:22] At first I was a bit confused at Riley making this musical reference, as he seems at least a decade too young, but then I remembered that the song got a re-release some time later, or maybe it was used in a movie or something. 🤷♂️
Riley, watching Queen's Gambit with his wife: ".........................................this lead actress, her eyes, are a little further apart from each other compared to the average person." His wife, sarcastically: ".....................okay. That's something that you will definitely be able to make use of in a future LMG video."
I just want virtual display glasses that don't cost more than a vr hmd. Give me these glasses without tracking and without transparency; I wanna play console in my van, or as a passenger on a roadtrip without needing a monitor or TV. Surely this would cut the cost in half, or better.
This is pure, in-the-moment conjecture: One of the reasons I have been all about AR and not at all about VR (for predominant usage - obviously VR has plenty of use cases) is eye health. Knowing nothing, it seems that having your eyes continue to focus on other depths would be healthier in the long run.
So the ar Mode doesn't work with a laptop? Usless as long as it just works wirh a phone... a tripple monitor setup for your laptop on the go woud be a good scenario.
You could use the phone's single hand typing keyboard and just swipe type, that way you would only need a mouse and at the same time as you're using the mouse you can type with your other hand. Pretty cool idea, if I say so myself!
Seriously considering something like these for my primary display when I build a new rig in November/December. I've moved to a new place, with more limited space, and will need two rigs set up ultimately (one for work, one for gaming in different areas,) so something like this on my personal rig would be excellent. Also, imagining leaning back in bed with these on and a PS4 controller in hand (or my Switch,) playing games before going to sleep.
I think something like this would be awesome if it were affordable. I don't really personally care about productivity with something like this (at least not until it's way better), but just to have as a better viewing experience for handheld games or watching media on your phone while you're on the bus, on a road trip etc. I could maybe see it for "productivity" for a secondary monitor of sorts but again really just for viewing media while I'm doing other things on my PC because I don't have room for a second monitor for example. But man having a good version of this that you can just keep in your bag/pocket as a bigger screen for watching netflix/youtube on your phone or playing your switch/steamdeck on the go would be awesome!
This really solves a problem for me, not the glasses, but the Rokid Hub. I have the nreal airs and using them with my Steam Deck means that I can't charge it when I have the glasses plugged in. Already ordered, so here's to hoping it works.
It probably will but alternatively the Nubia redmagic adaptor does the trick as well. Been using it for 6 months now to charge my deck while using the nreal airs
If you want hub to work with steam deck, then you will be disappointed. Rokid needs to tweak it some more and they were saying that MAYBE in a month or sth they will have any (good) news. Anyway they said that the solution wont work for current global version of hub, so for SD you should wait for the new hub to be released

Imagine having a infinity desktop, you could show all your tabs at once, just turn your head.
More ar and vr is what this channel needs. VR game benchmarks would be nice, you would probably be the first channel on youtube to include them to gpu tests. Also, there is no reason, why you couldnt do some content on the most currently used VR headset, the Quest 2. Ofc mostly related to PCVR, not mobile.
These sort of things are the tech I am actually interested in- even if these are too big to be practical yet. VR headsets don't really interest me at all, but having "glasses" that let me access info or see road directions or relevant information I want at a glance- that's cool.
if they would make AR laptop compatible glasses, that would be super amazing. I can already imagine, that you carry a teeny tiny netbook and connect to this, then you get however many 4K displays. That would be insanely good. But maybe in the future?
In the video he uses the glasses with a laptop
Can we get an entire TechLinked episode with Riley just talking like a pirate for the entire thing, sponsor spot and all, please? :D
ok, the idea of having multiple monitor setup anywhere is awesome
Dang this looks like it almost there for me to get one. The adjustable lenses for people with glasses is awesome. So close.
Not if you have astigmatism.
So I have the Nreal air, like the quality of the display. Basically use it as a portable big screen monitor for my laptop. Could also be really helpful for mobile video editors who need more screen space than their laptop can provide.
I've been waiting for years. The only thing I want AR glasses for is to have GPS as a HUD display while I'm driving, but most of these companies keep focusing on the wrong things like music or VR. They make the glasses way too bulky for things that are just not practical.
One advantage of having the setup he describes where you have a mouse & keyboard and the glasses provide your screen experience - no more shoulder surfing.
That alone is going to be worth something to a lot of people.
This aged well...
sad moment
I still love my older Rokid Airs, but I'm interested in all that the Rokid Max offers. Really good quality products from Rokid and great for guys like me who are near sighted with their myopia dials.
I like your German pronunciation of "Bedienungsanleitung" 😂
I think it somehow sounds a bit like japanese
I found it slightly distrubing, bedding young son lie tongue? For shame, Riley! /s
A cool implementation would be to combine it with a laptop. So you eseentially have a portable multimonitor setup, using a laptop screen, and then hovering AR screens around it.
Man yall are awesome, i saw these on twitter like three days ago and said, "120hz micro oled???? I GOTTA see a review."
Samsung recently trademarked "Galaxy Glasses," which tracks with some internal pitch videos that leaked for 3DOF and 6DOF AR glasses concepts. DeX is actually one of the better applications of the Nreal Airs for media consumption and a portable desktop, even if it's not really a 3DOF AR mode. Samsung developing their own AR glasses could really galvanize development on a proper AR desktop experience. Also think it's an important piece of the all-in-one device puzzle you mentioned in your recent NexDock review, which is a future I'm super into myself.
Apple doesn't need to make it. You have it. Everything Apple touches doesn't turn to gold. Other brands can exist too.
Something I don't get is that all of these require wired connections, which ruins their use as daily sunglasses or glasses; while the technology to make it wireless exists.
Because most people won't want to have a cable dangling while going out. It's what kept me from buying them as they'd be expensive to use once or twice then forget about for regular sunglasses.
And it's strange because Google pulled this off a decade ago but there are even cheap Chinese AR sunglasses that run android natively.
I had one and could side load apps, it even had a wifi chip in it. I could stream Netflix while chilling outside even without a phone on me if there was wifi.
It was bulkier than regular sunglasses but not by that much. It even had audio output and a camera in it.
The only reason it was a bad experience was because it was cheap and not made by a legit company. I'd gladly pay more for a better version of it.
So you'd think this would be possible by bigger companies. Imagine being able to run navigation, take videos, watch videos/browse the internet, without having to physically tether to something else all the time.
The reason is battery life. Without a cable, no "smart" glasses have ever been practical. Not even Google glass. I wish the technology was there too, but batteries just don't have enough density yet.
@@Ambrovious Not really, I have the Inmo Air and you actually get a couple of hours on it. Maybe not a long trip but going out in your area it's fine as long as you turn it off when you're not using them
This tech looks pretty cool - I would love to use something like this on a flight~
I was skeptical that Apple would be able to succeed with AR/VR…but seeing how other companies are trying it, it sets them up to do the iPod/iPhone thing where they come in after everyone does the R&D and they work out all the pain points and make the device super attractive.
So, nReal and these guys have teed them up.
Also honestly some of Apple's products are kind of ugly lol. If they managed to make Airpods a fashion statement then I'm sure they could make the AR glasses just as "fashionable".
@@nicka5040 I think they look nice tbh.
I wish they had kept the original AirPods design. Something about the “ear pods without a cable” just hits me right in the pleasure zone of my brain.
Too each their own I guess. For me it fits the exact kind of “future hippie minimalism” thing I love so much.
@@dstinnettmusic i much prefer the samsung air dots style, no bar hanging out of ur ear
Ordered on amazon but mine did not come in a fancy box like that! It was in a dull looking blank cardboard box.
Hoping you guys review the Viture One glasses next
Riley hitting that reset sure gave me an Advertisement
“Anya! You were mentioned in a short circuit!”
“What did they say about me?”
“😶”
I would love to see Riley's opinion on the Viture One XR Glasses. Odd that Alex / Linus reviewed them over on the main channel while Riley has reviewed many AR Glasses over here. Could we get something like a round up of the current landscape of AR glasses?
Where I could see these being really useful is in any sort of repair industry. Imagine having a repair document or guide overlayed next to the device being worked on.
This could be huge for learning in a lot of fields and education.
I am eagerly anticipating the delightful social aspects that come with engaging in conversations with animated users online. The prospect of meeting new people and exchanging ideas with them fills me with excitement 😀
1080p per eye?
And also, how big does the screen seem if you make it as big as you can?
Please do a full video on use on computer as well or just for media consumption.
For Travel or people with small rooms, is it a viable replacement for a big screen?
That's exactly what I was wondering. A replacement TV sounds great. This tech has a lot of potential 2 or 3 generations away.
Riley playing a gem like Sable makes me happy
Truly so
the second Apple come out with one of these, im buying it. Get a bare bones version of vision pro into a set of not horrific sunglasses and they can have all my money
Try out the Viture 1 glasses kit when you can. Seems to have a lot of similar features to this, with the 'neckband' feature incoming.
The evolution of Riley is crazy, he went from hipster to the canadian kid at school's dad
I pre-ordered mine a couple months ago! Can't wait for it! I also like the look. I think it looks cool not dorky.
Thanks for pointing out the quirks.
Hello Ali great video cool video gave me got that multi end cable in order! The blender I didn’t see coming
These look very similar to the Viture glasses, except the Viture's have better placement of speakers and a magsafe-style lead to connect to your devices. I also already have them sat on my desk, now.
whats nice about these after i did a search is that its 1080p 120 hz which is way better, comparing to other ar glasses he reviewed are 60hz, doesnt matter to watching videos, but some phone games or if you connect to a laptop etc can work with high refresh rate, sure higher resolution would help, even with a 4k vr headset its still blurry since screen is so close to your eye, but at least these can be considered as a portable big screen
120Hz avoids judder in 24fps content.
It’s not just about the refresh rate of the content (FPS) but about the fact that the display has to update when you move your head. Many people find anything below 90Hz a little jarring or feel nausea.
@@hammadsheikh6032 while that's true, but that generally only apply to vr headset where you have 6 dof movement when you are gaming, these g.asses doesn't require huge amount of sudden movement since it's pretty much just a bit screen floating in front of you instead of vr game
14:50 I feel like this would be similar to when I'm scrolling through a webpage for example on my phone and I accidentally scroll an ad but my eyes keep trying to look through the rest of the page, which is not a great feeling, it's almost like falling.
Maybe you should talk to a psychologist, that isn't normal bro
i just wish i could try it somewhere, i have a huge amount of down time at work (fault team) and these sound amazing for netflix and the like, but it's a lot of money if it turns out I dont get on with it.
17:30 yeah I would love something like that to do light work/social media/youtube at the cafe. Could use an existing Apple bluetooth keyboard etc. I also wear glasses so the ability to adjust focus is important to me... I am going to seriously look at products like this now, ty. Would also like to be able to plug it into my home PC as well...
great review. i was gonna purchase these but will wait a few years for more rnd in the ar glass industry
For getting a pointer on your phone you can go into developer mode and turn on show touches!
You probably just need Viture to make this, they are much better. With the neckband, you literally can do anything
17:52 that's where you're wrong, you do NOT have all of that on a 13/15/17 inch display - That is only one display, at a smaller (visualized) size. Glasses like this allow for a potentially huge multi monitor set up anywhere.
This type of tech is already going to be a HUGE hit with anyone that cares about privacy when they are working a project. If you use these as your primary display for your computer you don't have to worry about ANYONE seeing what you are working on (boss, co-workers, customers, etc.). That right there alone make these worth the price. And, if these draw power over USB-C from the device that they are connected to as long as that device is pulgged in you won't have to worry about running out of power or recharging at all.
Thanks for the review. Sounds pretty cool, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I'd love to find glasses that can provide a true AR experience (like something in Quest 3), but I guess that's not available right now? Bigscreen Beyond seems close, but that's mostly for purely VR, and they're still bulky compared to glasses. Any recommendations? Even the upcoming Apple headset looks bulky.
I made it through the entire video and I felt such pride when Riley praised me "good job" for doing it. :D
I very much agree with Riley here. The no-battery design is great, and it is best to offload the computation load to other devices. And the direction they should go for is really just "having 3 screens at the same time". The active area by the retina can actually be smaller, having some kind of fish eye vision is fine enough. A 3d motion sensor, a small pixel-dense display at the center & a large rough display around it, and a diopter.
i can see this being huge for ppl who travel a lot and want to get stuff done on the way. imagine those glasses for like a 12h flight.
I travel full time and let me tell you, the second we've got an absolutely rock solid - several hours at a time workable - AR space monitor, im getting a pair. It would make my life so much easier!
This is all I've wanted since the first announcement of the Oculus. Looks like we're almost there.
I want this but for portable multi monitor setup on my laptop
And now they have. Can't wait for the half off sales on all VR products now.
From the AR glasses i've seen on this channel so far this ain't that bad even for the price.
Not gonna lie, that flowing pronunciation off "Bedienungsanleitung" cracked me up good xD
I didn't realise I'd laugh so much watching this video. Love Riley's sense of humour so much 😂
If you just want a HUGE theather screen to watch movies, which glasses would you suggest?
With the glasses on, riley kinda looks like doctor disrespect
That's what i was thinking
That's awesome, I love that you actually read the instructions!
Unlike that awful Galaxy watch video you did like half a year ago with this guy that doesn't understand fitness or Smartwatch.
[08:22] At first I was a bit confused at Riley making this musical reference, as he seems at least a decade too young, but then I remembered that the song got a re-release some time later, or maybe it was used in a movie or something. 🤷♂️
hows the gaming experience though?
was it smooth at the 120hz refresh, they didn't talk much about it in the video so im mostly curious about it
2:18 for a second i thought he was really reading it and not a romanized version
i took a shot every time riley feathered his hair. Time for rehab
Riley, watching Queen's Gambit with his wife: ".........................................this lead actress, her eyes, are a little further apart from each other compared to the average person."
His wife, sarcastically: ".....................okay. That's something that you will definitely be able to make use of in a future LMG video."
7:59 Amazing
I just want virtual display glasses that don't cost more than a vr hmd. Give me these glasses without tracking and without transparency; I wanna play console in my van, or as a passenger on a roadtrip without needing a monitor or TV. Surely this would cut the cost in half, or better.
This is pure, in-the-moment conjecture:
One of the reasons I have been all about AR and not at all about VR (for predominant usage - obviously VR has plenty of use cases) is eye health.
Knowing nothing, it seems that having your eyes continue to focus on other depths would be healthier in the long run.
I suppose the "3D Mode" you need a 3D source, like these 3D movies for example.
Or you could fire up Minecraft 1.8 where there was a 3D mode.
@@altetaube The 3D mode was for the red/blue 3D glasses, not 3DOF
So the ar Mode doesn't work with a laptop? Usless as long as it just works wirh a phone... a tripple monitor setup for your laptop on the go woud be a good scenario.
You could use the phone's single hand typing keyboard and just swipe type, that way you would only need a mouse and at the same time as you're using the mouse you can type with your other hand. Pretty cool idea, if I say so myself!
Seriously considering something like these for my primary display when I build a new rig in November/December. I've moved to a new place, with more limited space, and will need two rigs set up ultimately (one for work, one for gaming in different areas,) so something like this on my personal rig would be excellent. Also, imagining leaning back in bed with these on and a PS4 controller in hand (or my Switch,) playing games before going to sleep.
The diopter adjustment is brilliant
If i were rokid higher ups, i would change this ASAP and announce a new version. They are lucky for a free review and can fix it right away
What's better, this or viture ?
Am I the only one who thinks AT-J is absolutely adorable, eyes and all?
The ad when he hit the reset button, well done lmao.
Apple vision pro... AYOOO!!!
The design of the glasses reminds me of the spykids movies.
I think something like this would be awesome if it were affordable. I don't really personally care about productivity with something like this (at least not until it's way better), but just to have as a better viewing experience for handheld games or watching media on your phone while you're on the bus, on a road trip etc. I could maybe see it for "productivity" for a secondary monitor of sorts but again really just for viewing media while I'm doing other things on my PC because I don't have room for a second monitor for example.
But man having a good version of this that you can just keep in your bag/pocket as a bigger screen for watching netflix/youtube on your phone or playing your switch/steamdeck on the go would be awesome!
This really solves a problem for me, not the glasses, but the Rokid Hub. I have the nreal airs and using them with my Steam Deck means that I can't charge it when I have the glasses plugged in.
Already ordered, so here's to hoping it works.
It probably will but alternatively the Nubia redmagic adaptor does the trick as well. Been using it for 6 months now to charge my deck while using the nreal airs
If you want hub to work with steam deck, then you will be disappointed. Rokid needs to tweak it some more and they were saying that MAYBE in a month or sth they will have any (good) news. Anyway they said that the solution wont work for current global version of hub, so for SD you should wait for the new hub to be released
