It's wild there are plenty of AR headset's arriving such as Visor, that can't just plug into your phone and spawn a full desktop. Instead they want you to plug into a Windows or Apple laptop, or battery kit.
Android fully understands the idea of running multiple apps, at different resolutions, simultaneously and yet, no product in this space due to I assume restrictive APIs.
- jayd16 2y agoYou can just run Android apps on the Quest directly. The nReal glasses will act as a monitor for your phone. It's not as easy as you think though. Streaming video at acceptable VR resolution and framerate isn't trivial. I guess you could get a headset to act like a car and get Carplay running, but full RDP of an iPhone...does anything do that?

- happymellon 2y ago> full RDP of an iPhone Like iPhone mirroring? I have left the Apple eco system for the most part, but I remember 10 years ago demoing on my Mac what was happening on my iPhone.
- jayd16 2y agoWell you need input so no, not just mirroring.

I tried opening a couple epub readers but trying to open a file didn't bring up any file open dialog from the browser. I felt pretty bad for the headset makers. Quite clear they were entirely beholden to an Android where most apps have extremely limited capability sets, where they have to really reinvent the universe afresh for their headset.
