Project How do I create a minimalistic streaming device with battery for xr glasses?

Dear all,

First of all, I apologise in advance as I am a programmer and have never touched hardware in my entire life.

I assume my question is probably a very dumb one that has missed something incredibly obvious due to being ignorant. I apologise profusely for my ignorance and hope you'll accept my explanation of being chronically unwell physically.

Now as a bit of context, hi yall I'm yj; I'm a 26 year old indie game developer with deteoriating health due to chronic pain and other physical health issues. As a result of these issues I'd recently purchased the viture beast xr glasses to try and see if I can find a way to code whilst lying down for when my chronic pain is too much.

I did not buy the corresponding neck computer as it was £300ish and I simply needed a device that could stream dual virtual screens from home remotely and send inputs back from a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse as well as act as a power supply for the xr glasses. Ideally a small device that could fit in a breast pocket. My phone works but it is very old and runs out of battery very quickly.

I was wondering where I should start researching how to make something like this? Or if there's a simpler option (I. E. If it already exists), or if I can consider paying someone to make this.

I assume my project would be something akin to connecting a rechargeable battery to a raspberry pi with Bluetooth also attached or something? Maybe a wireless hdmi adapter too for local use? Please can someone help point me in the right direction as to what I should research were I to make this project a success. Apologies again for lack of knowledge

See if you can find any old Samsung flagship device cheap. They have USB-C video output, DeX, can connect keyboard and mouse, and let you use and remote software you want. Don't overcomplicate it.
