XReal Air are pretty good for that purpose. I can just plug them into my laptop or any phone that supports DisplayPort over USB-C and mirror my full screen. The clarity is good enough for dev work, but my eyes feel a little strained after a few hours of use. I'm curious whether Apple's product will be more comfortable for longer use.

I was considering those. Is there some sort of accelerometer in there so the screen moves in your field of vision as you turn your head, or does it just kinda float there? I haven't been able to understand that from their product pages.

  I believe that's the functionality added by the "Beam" adapter (which I haven't tried). The glasses on their own just display a static "dumb" display that doesn't respond to one's movement.

    It is. I bought a Beam with my Airs. The screen fills up the entire FOV, which is great. The problem is that there's a lag between head movements and the glasses adapting. That means unless you stay very still, there will pretty much always be a part of the screen that's not visible. Furthermore, the lag is (to me) really bothersome. I sent the Beam back and kept the glasses.

  On my Mac I can set up three monitors in the xreal air using their "nebula" software, you need the beam. They also have a beta version of nebula for windows might also have it on Linux. It's three 1080 P screens, one in front of me, and one to either side of me. And yes, they "stand still" when I move my head to between them

I coded on one of them. It was ok for a short period. The blurriness and ghosting, especially on the corners and edges made it pretty tiring after a while. They're great for watching videos, movies, TV, etc. though!

  their nebula app (works on Mac and in beta for windows) has helped a lot with blurriness. I also am nearsighted, and once I got prescription lenses for my xreal air it was like a whole new set of glasses!
