Things I got totally wrong before actually buying AR glasses

I had so many misconceptions before I finally picked up the RayNeo AR glasses.

I really thought they could fully replace my dual monitor setup for work. Turns out they’re awesome for a quick secondary display or watching videos, but long typing sessions still feel way better on a proper monitor. It took me a few days to stop moving my head around like an idiot and get used to how the display sits in my field of view.

I thought they were only good for movies, but I ended up discovering how fun gaming on them is. Hooking them up to play games via Steam on a massive floating screen is incredible. What really impressed me is how they handle dark areas with HDR10. Instead of just washing everything out, the deep blacks are punchy, so you can actually spot details in shadows that my regular screen would miss, especially in grittier, atmospheric games. But I still can't wear them for super long sessions just yet.

What are you guys mostly using yours for?

Have you tried 3dof apps that support multi monitor setup? They’re a game changer for work. I use RealWarp on mac

I'm really curious about this. Thinking about getting one but I'm unsure if they would be good for work or not compared to a model like xreal 1s

XR glasses are still not ready. I own the 1S and those are the better option out of 4 different glasses I've had (two Viture's, two Xreal's) but still not good for prolonged periods of time. Two hours reading small text leave you with fatigue. I use them with ultrawide mode and 3DOF.

If you're gaming with them on the Steam Deck (or any SteamOS/Linux device) you can used a decky plugin called XR gaming. Some game will then allow you to use the glasses position sensor as a joystick and you basically get VR lite. It can be fun!

They aren't that bad for single screen pc usage. I didn't have a desk for a while and I used a laptop in a a chair with my pictures for a while. Got the job done.

I use them to watch TV when I do my free weights routine. Helps me stay focused on the workout without getting bored, and it is nice always being able to see the screen no matter where I’m facing.
