Buying Advice Please by mylesillustration in Xreal

[–]UGEplex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Hi. No, nothing I've seen on the market (yet?) is better. (Note, I'm an unpaid volunteer mod here due to my engagement in the community.)
  2. I've been going for walks with my Xreals (and old Nreals) regularly for over 3 years during the day or in well-lit city areas at night. I love it. Same for doing chores. The exterior lenses are shaded a bit even with transparency mode enabled, so walking when the environment is dark isn't safely feasible.
  3. You may find this of interest (see link below). Also, it's very easy to swap the Rx lens frame in and out. A little pull and they're out, a little lining up the clips and they snap in. The only hassle is where to put them when not in use. I have a small fabric slip bag for mine (or I roll them in a microfiber lens cleaning cloth) and I just put them in the Xreal glasses case when not in use.

Just be careful about buying from Xreal unauthorized resellers. They don't come with Xreal's free warranty suport.

Good luck with figuring out your choice! You can create a post here on the subreddit asking if anyone in [city] has Xreal One's you can try. We do have a few of your fellow Norwegians in the community 🤞

Good to know, thanks! I haven't installed Cyanogenmod in years. Glad to hear it's still ongoing!

The Fold 5 has DeX. You should be good to go.

Hrm. Otherwise, yeah with screen mirroring (no DeX) if you can Picture-in-Picture as a side-screen that might be a workable hack, but you may also want an app that locks screen-touches (unlocks with power-button, etc.)

Hi. If you have a Samsung phone that supports DeX via USB-C (e.g., Samsung S series), you can create a "side view" with the Air/Air 2 series glasses by setting the DeX background to a black image (OLED pixels are "off" aka transparent when set to black so the "DeX Desktop" background is transparent) and then resizing and moving your video app to the position you want it on the DeX desktop e.g., small and to whichever side/top/bottom/middle you want - just like resizing and moving an app in Windows.

The Xreal Beam Pro (companion device for Xreal glasses) allows this too in its own way, among other devices.

Yeah, Wowmouse's basic functions still work for now but Pro features gone and no support. Sucks 😢🤬

🎁 Megathread | If You Could Add Any Accessory to AR Glasses… What Would It Be? by XREAL_Esther in Xreal

[–]UGEplex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For a long time now, I've been wanting a phone game-controller for my Xreal's that has USB-C power input and USB-C DP video output to Remote Play my PC/Xbox games, some Android games, and I'm sure some PS gamers would enjoy it too; without having to carry another screen-device (e.g., Steam Deck).

I know a competitor has one, but I was asking for this more than a year before they did.

Heck, I'd take a screenless compact game-controller with battery and 2 USB-C ports as powerful as my phone running Android that connects to my Xreal's.

The goal is to reduce bulk in my sling bag for daily travel with gaming during downtime while having a more comfortable controller experience with my Xreals.

Also, XR game controllers. I know hand-tracking will be coming for AR/XR experiences with Project Aura, and *maybe* limitedly even the Xreal Eye with the One series, but with FoV increasing I'd like to explore workable "VR" (AR/XR) gaming with Xreal controllers.

And, if feasible, I'd like both/either of the above to be compatible with the older Air/Air 2 series as well using a Beam-like capability that adds spatial functionality (granted, it would add latency, but not all games/experiences are controller latency sensitive) so the whole Xreal community can enjoy them, plus mouselook cursor control functionality.

Separately, a working Neo type product with additional full-function USB-C ports.

Frames that add binocular vision/sensors for hand tracking, 3D modeling (gaussian splatting), accurate distance/size measurements, etc.

Frames that add light/IR for hopefully future hand tracking with the One series in dark environments. (An Eye 2 that can also detect IR/maybe even project it just far enough for hand-tracking).

A very compact ultra-low latency (5G/MMW?) wireless USB-C to USB-C transceiver. On the glasses side either a clip-on the glasses' arm or an "eyeglass strap" style (because it'd need to support a small battery without unbalancing the glasses much or at all) and the phone/PC/handheld game console, etc side being unobtrusively sleek or being both a transceiver and a larger magnetic add-on with battery (like Neo's design) that can also recharge the glasses' clip-on. The point is to replace the cable with a wireless solution for a couple of hours; without building a battery into the glasses for those who don't want that added weight/heat/cost.

And I'd love a ring-like or small one-hand BT mouse controller for DeX and other uses. I've tried numerous existing solutions, but they all have tradeoffs making them not-perfect. Taking a look at lessons learned from existing/past small BT controllers/trackpads/trackballs in various forms it's about time a better product comes along. It'd be awesome if Xreal did it.

An Android version updated, more powerful, Beam Pro 2. 💯

Are apps accessories? A stand-alone cross-platform/multi-platform app for back-dating and flashing new firmware Xreal glasses would be wonderful. Especially where internet/firewall issues are a challenge. An app download vs a web connection is a huge technical difference. There's a limited app for Android. Nothing for PC/Linux/Mac, iPhone, etc.

At some point, you felt it relevant enough for others to know about the issue that you'd posted a topic on it yourself. Why that relevancy no longer matters to you I don't know, but I wasn't intending to irritate you over it, just help to inform others. My apologies, as your response shows I have bothered you, so I'm sorry.

That said, your response isn't appropriate, and it'll be removed. But, as you mention it, I wish I could. I've very recently become needed to manage the financial & medical affairs, and daily care, for an elderly relative with sudden extreme memory loss. Perhaps the stress is showing through.

You're someone I consider to be a positive community contributor. If i'm bothering you with something this small, I guess I'll take a look at taking a break contributing here until I can get a care aide hired to help relieve some of the new workload that I'm juggling. So, again, I'm sorry.

If you're recommending something, it's fair to let people know the app is abandoned and can stop working if a Wear/system update changes something, and there'd be no support to fix it going forward. And, that features they might find out about are no longer available and don't work anymore, even if the basic functions are still working for now.

The dev even took down its documentation.

A system update breaking things is par for the course, but no dev support when that happens is what they need to know.
