(I'm trying a pair out. They are on Amazon for $379 and extended returns during Christmas...)
It feels like a wall height screen about 8-10 feet in front of you. Perhaps a little bigger would be good, but it isn't that too small.
The resolution of 1920x1080 is ok. I wish it was higher. And it doesn't support AR monitors (the 1920x1080 in the glasses a mirror of the iPad - except for blink .. - the demos for android are much nicer with AR windows places in physical space)
The setup I'm testing:
- nreal 1920x1080 nreal air
- usb-c plugged into an ipad mini + cellular
- tailscale allows me to remote into my desktop computer
- with bluetooth keyboard and mouse
- and then blink app to tmux (or perhaps vscode - I haven't tried it yet)
I've only been testing a couple days.
It feels much better than my experiments with Quest2 VR desktop. And when I am able to just work within a single app (blink, safari, ...) it is a good experience. My biggest struggle is iPad os - inconsistent keyboard shortcuts even in apple applications.
I'd like to try a tiny raspberry pi like device that allows remote-ssh vscode + remote tmux + streaming chrome (vnc or perhaps https://www.mightyapp.com https://www.mightyapp.com) - but the hardware needs to support USB-C Display Port.
Perhaps a DIY powered by Framework mainboard...

Overall, it is still promising and I'm going to keep trying until end of January - to see if this is a good to take anywhere to code/dev/mosh. For a V1 of this experience it exceeds expectations (and is much better than quest2 for me)
- coder543 4y ago> it doesn't support AR monitors At the top of this thread, the youtube video linked by that comment shows AR monitors on a Mac at 7:24 in the video. The software support for that isn't there on iOS or iPadOS, but it is supported on Mac, apparently. (And Android, as you noted.)
- anotherjesse 4y agothe Macos software is pre-release - and jittery/high latency is an understatement. Supposedly a new version is being released mid-nov. Hopefully that will address the issues.
- shiftpgdn 4y agoI would highly recommend buying a Samsung S10E second hand off of ebay or something for $100 and using that. Once you've used Dex and Nebula with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard it will all click. It's incredible.
- purplerabbit 4y agoWhat are Dex and Nebula? (I’m considering trying this setup)
- coder543 4y agoNebula is Nreal's proprietary virtual workspace. DeX is a feature offered on many mid-to-high-end Samsung phones where you can plug it into an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard and get an Android-based desktop-style experience with draggable, resizable windows.
