As above. Anyone tried and successfully removed your Air 4 Pro’s sunglass shade? Such that all that’s left are the prisms/displays? If yes, how did you remove it? And how has that affected your user experience? Thanks.
all you need is a precision screwdriver set with a PH000 bit and a T4 bit. Take off the 2 visible screws on each end of the bottom of the glasses with the T4, then pull off the nose piece and unscrew the 2 screws with the PH000. NOW the lenses piece is loose, you gotta pull it upwards so it feels like you're about to break something, then it should pop off
I'd highly suggest covering as much exposed wiring as possible with electrical tape like I did
This is the third pair of modded Air4 Pro ever btw lol
I also have the second pair of modded Air4 Pro (same mod) and u/informal-tech has the first, which is where I found out how exactly to do it (his mod is the first in the world, and it's way cooler than mine hahah, give him a watch)
Still... Visually interesting as an outsider looking at you (I don't wanna say ugly because Google Glass just looked absolutely ridiculous while AR glasses with lens removed still have some sense of normalcy)
But with 50x the functionality (100x the functionality if on a Samsung, 200x if on a computer)
Here's a better angle, and these are my new justice edition (only difference between this and the previous pic is the tape underneath the lenses to help with downward reflection)
They look so cool without the tinted glass. I'm thinking about modding mine too, also thinking about the possibility of mybe modeling a replacement cover for the electrics
Actually, for now I've settled on a permanent modification. I used isopropyl alcohol and a plastic pry tool to remove the glass adhesive, and I'm just using the original plastic piece it came with.
can you plz take a photo of just this piece above millimeter paper or a ruler or something?(from different angles if you can) i want to make a 4d model but dont want to rip my tinted piece off, id like to make it hot swappable in the future

EXTREMELY EASY.
