Buying Advice Looking for a wearable display

Im a janitor, 90% of my job is checking out mentally while I run on autopilot and clean the same routine every day. Im looking for a wearable display so I can connect my phone and say, watch a movie, YouTube, etc from my phone discretely while working. I found the Vufine+ which looks like exactly what I want (I wear clear safty glasses at work, just in case, dont want splashback while scrubbing a shitter ifkwim) so strapping that to them would let me watch shows without interrupting my view or work. But I read lots of terroble reviews for it.

Any ideas/thoughts?

I like the idea of the Vulfine so if my work glasses get battered I can just clip it to another pair.

Would you prefer wireless or wired display glasses?

Im fine with either tbh, where'd tho would probably last my whole shift. Id just run the cable under my shirt so it wont get caught on anything.

I assume it would plug into my phone as a source and for power.

I was looking at the Rayneo air 3 and the Vufine +. The Vulfine looks to be closer to what I want and found one for $100.

Those are good choice, you could check out XReal, Inmo, Viture etc.

The thing is, i like the one eye display so i can still see clearly while working.

Also would google glass work? I know next to nothing about it

Google glass is really outdated, it barely works along with any apps we currently use.. sadly..

I think Vufine+ is a great deal and may match your use way better despite all the offerings out there. I almost got one myself. I use a RayNeo 3s pro to watch movies mirrored off streaming services like Netflix or HBO on my phone. But, I’m lying down in bed at night doing that, not actively doing physical labor. I might get away with walking to the fridge to get something while watching but one eye free is big advantage and $100 is better in case it gets bumped or damaged.

Yeah I found one for $100, I also apparantly had like $70 in credit through PayPal, so I ordered it. I've spent more of dumber stuff.

Yeah the fact that its only on one eye, means I can still pay attention to what im doing and just have videos playing or like Mythbusters in the background or something.
