- mncharity 6y agoIntriguing. Nreal Light AR glasses provide a nicely readable 1080p at 2 meters, ~2 m ~45 deg wide, and 3D (but fixed focus, so long-term comfort suggests keeping that shallow). Which raises the question of what novel UIs for text are enabled by having a head-tracked shallow-3D display with laptop-like fov? Simply panning around a large virtual traditional desktop being meh.
