Not the same company but Andrew Ethan Zeng on Youtube tested the XREAL Air AR Glasses. He was able to connect the glasses directly to his phone and his Macbook. Note, they did sponsor the video and reviews aren’t exactly great. His video is really informative though.
That too, I haven’t delved into the whole AR space a lot but would plenty well like the option to connect something lightweight and have a virtual giant screen.
The other question I’d have for something like that is the contrast levels. If it ends up as a ‘ghost’ overlay it could make doing things with a lot of text/terminals a big strain to look at.
Yeah I’d absolutely consider replacing or augmenting my display with something like these glasses, but asking people to pay more, downgrade specs, replace their whole system, all while picking up an unfamiliar OS… I’ll wait for the gen 2. Or 4.
Yeah. People already sell laptops; this is basically a super expensive laptop with a fancy screen and a janky custom OS. But having this as an app for your phone, that let you pop other apps up into the heads-up virtual display or have “full screen” access to certain functionality while still supporting all your regular stuff, would be pretty different. So it can make your phone “laptop like” any time you wanted to pop the glasses on, or pop little notifications into the corner of your vision, maybe with a couple of little buttons on the glasses for “expand notification” “clear notification” “clear all” “up” “down” “minimize” “maximize”, something like that, would be super neat. And then any time you want to break out the keyboard you can use it like a computer.
(I know the permissions and app compatibility and battery life etc would make that not necessarily trivial to do)
“Instead it has two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports that you can use to connect peripherals including AR glasses that come with the device”
OOOR… wacky idea… release the glasses for use on any device with the proper ports…

Doesn’t matter.
There is xreal, nreal, rokid… Plenty of manufacturers to pick with, and you can spare money for a regular laptop.

As stupid as the apple glasses are, the gesture function sure seems like it would work well with something like this.
