Can’t say I’m a fan of the monthly fee.

Snap OS has an interesting interface where the palm of your hand brings up a menu. I don’t think it’s the most user-friendly approach though.

I hadn't heard of those games. Might be what I need to get in shape 😁

I guess $300 is justifiable if cycling is a hobby or athletic pursuit. Some people drop $200+ on a pair of simple Oakleys.

Maybe there's a way and I haven't figured it out :) Thank you for your encouraging words!!

I have the XReal Air 1 and XReal Beam accessory. I can't speak to the newest devices they have released.

For watching movies (e.g. Netflix, Prime, YouTube) and playing videogames, these glasses are exceptional as they act as a giant screen floating in front of you. If you have a Steam Deck, it's plug and play. If you have a Switch or PS/Xbox, you'll need the Beam accessory. Watching movies or playing games while lying down facing the ceiling is something to experience 😋

They can also be used as an extended display for your computer for productivity, though results are mixed.

XReal isn't directly compatible with all phones/devices, so you may need the Beam to use an incompatible device. If you use Beam, you can also pin/anchor the display to reality which works surprisingly well.

You can also use the glasses as a screen for Samsung Dex (turns your Samsung phone into a laptop with a virtual screen). If you set Dex's wallpaper to black, you start to feel like Iron Man.

XReal isn't intended to be worn throughout your day as a daily driver. I'm using it in a way it wasn't designed for. I'm designing apps for some future "perfect AR device" and XReal seems to be a good test bed due to its features and active community.

So for media consumption and gaming, I recommend it. For productivity, your mileage may vary. For grocery shopping, use at your own risk :)

Amazing! Would pair nicely with xreal glasses as a virtual monitor, assuming it's got USB-C with DisplayPort. I've heard of people using a mini PC like that.

When I made this post 😁 but it's a guess based on my experience. I don't know if there's a way to see stats of when most people are on Lemmy.

 

I feel to maximize growth:

  • Post daily at a time when most people are on Lemmy.
  • Always try to include an interesting picture with the post. If you're sharing a URL, sometimes a thumbnail doesn't show or is uninteresting. In these cases, find a better picture and use that and move the URL to the body of the post.
  • Shamelessly plug the community every chance you get. Speaking of which, !augmented_reality@lemmy.world
 

This is admittedly a regurgitated press release 😮‍💨

 

An EyeTap is a concept for a wearable computing device that is worn in front of the eye that acts as a camera to record the scene available to the eye as well as a display to superimpose computer-generated imagery on the original scene available to the eye.

Fair point, but if this was done using smart glasses it would make for an interesting experience, imo.

Looks like the grandaddy of this:
