    Spatial computing is arguably incredibly useful but all depends if people feel comfortable wearing it for extended amounts of time.

    The first one was a cool tech demo, i suppose this one will be more an early adopter version but i don’t see the tech being mature enough to have people stop using a laptop.

      People keep telling me it’s useful but I literally cannot think of a single use for it.

        I’d love a VR/AR headset to (mostly) replace my desktop monitors tbh. Love the idea of being able to have a 2 or 3 monitor setup without having to manage all those physical screens. Nothing is really “there” yet for me, especially for the price.

        Other than that? I can’t think of much, besides gaming.

            Can confirm I also do this with an xreal air. There’s a great extension for gnome called Breezy Desktop that lets you mock an ultra wide monitor in the glasses and it’s replaced my dual monitor setup. Still have to take them off every now and then due to VR nausea but I haven’t used them too long, hope to move past the nausea.

            I do wish I had gotten the vitures for the FOSS friendliness.

            Just visited the Viture website, and it is abysmal. Product looks cool though.

            Edit: its endless scrolling reminds me of those websites about some “totally effective protection against RF radiation” that’s nothing more than a concrete block with a blinking LED.

          I don’t see how we can ever get to this point without solving vergence accommodation conflict, which even Apple seems not to have a plan for. I truly don’t understand the money pouring into AR tech at this point in time.
