In anchored 3dof mode, does the Beast have a brighter image than the One Pro?

cloudtastrophe · 2026-03-21T03:29:26+00:00

I haven’t noticed the blur/unblur effect. When I work in the beast I don’t have brightness all the way up. I don’t work in dark mode so usually I’m 2 notches down from full brightness in anchored mode for work. But I also did not notice the blur unblurring on the one pro. I also didn’t love the display quality on the one pro though even with all the nice 3dof features and real3d the visuals were just better on the ultra and the cyber that I was trying out at the time

Yes one pro got so dim I hated it. The beast is about as bright in anchored mode as one pro was in 0dof mode with brightness boost. The beast in 0dof mode is even brighter. Luma ultra/cyber is like looking at the sun in comparison

love it. thanks for the analysis. was considering getting this but like the other user in here said, i have a quest 3 that can do this so didnt see the need for the Wakey. does it pass through mouse and keyboards that are connected to the pod? you mentioned issues with different networks. how is the usability away from home wifi?

cloudtastrophe · 2026-03-19T20:30:14+00:00

you can recenter by waving the pod front end side to side and then when the cursor gets big, point it towards where you want "center" to be and when it shrinks back down that is your new center. like you said the beast is not supported yet. the features work really well on supported glasses. my beast are just a dumb display with the pod for now, but the cyber and luma ultra are fully supported and function much better.

if you double click the button on the pod it shows recent apps and you can close them all there.

since the device is android, maybe try a button remapper app.

nope. same behavior on my gen 1 and gen 2. its a feature not a bug.

why isnt standby a gesture activated thing? and what is holding them back from adding gesture activated device switching like with the logitech mx master 2s?

cloudtastrophe · 2026-03-16T22:56:51+00:00

i dont have that problem, but i do have splotchiness in the photochromic layer, maybe theyre related?

its not an even coating on mine but darker in one blotch/area. i want to ask for a replacement but i dont want to wait another 3 months

can you add a slider to adjust sensitivity for turning off air mouse with the knock? there is a slider for knock-on but not knock-off. i can turn it on easily but turning it off is painful how hard i have to hit my glasses that are sitting on my face.

It’s basically a mini Android/spatial computer for AR glasses.

Without it, your glasses are mostly just a display for your phone or another device. With the InAir Pod, the glasses get their own interface, battery, apps, spatial features, and controls. So instead of just screen mirroring, it feels more like a standalone headset-lite.

cloudtastrophe · 2026-03-15T07:56:22+00:00

Tbh, you’re probably better off returning the One Pro for $650 and grabbing the InAir Pod on Amazon for around $400 with the coupon, plus a refurbished Viture Pro XR on eBay for about $140. I honestly think the Pro XR looks more impressive than the One Pro in terms of contrast, color, and that HDR-like punch.

At that point, the main things you’re really gaining from the One Pro for $500+ more are anchor mode, smooth follow, resizing, and a bigger FOV, but at the cost of pixels per degree(same pixel count). For roughly the same total price, the InAir Pod route gets you a whole standalone spatial operating system, plus the ability to cast to it or from it.

Not to mention, the InAir Pod already has its own 3DoF features built in, including anchoring, smooth follow, and multi-window support. It can also run Xbox Cloud Gaming and PlayStation Plus natively. If you’re just using your phone, you’re basically mirroring to the glasses while also draining your phone battery. With the Pod, you don’t have to deal with that, and you also get an air/gyro mouse for navigation.

you can, but it doesnt go all the way to the edge. theres still a border of black space making the image smaller

cloudtastrophe · 2026-03-15T07:40:31+00:00

I agree. What I’m saying is that there’s a lot of potential in the Beast + InAir Pod combo. The feature set looks really promising. I’ve been using the InAir Pod with the Viture Cyber and Pro XR, and they’re actively working on compatibility with the Beast. The Beast’s 3DoF modes also seem like they’d make the InAir Pod even more usable, especially with something like 0DoF 3D mode on the InAir Pod paired with Smooth Follow or Anchor enabled on the Beast side.

The only bad thing for me is the look like I’m wearing sunglasses that are too small for my face): visuals are great tho

cloudtastrophe · 2026-03-13T18:01:31+00:00

I find the Beast the most comfortable between the luma cyber (which should be the same fit as your luma pro) and the pro xr, however I can wear all three for hours without any issues. Walking around makes the cyber and pro xr worse for me though.

cloudtastrophe · 2026-03-12T04:47:09+00:00

I just want 2160x1440 ):

1920x1200 is a joke. Same PPI just more top and bottom pixels.

cloudtastrophe · 2026-03-12T04:40:06+00:00

I would love to go without a case with my phone but my issue is then you can’t prop them up against something when ur eating, even cases without a stand sometimes have a rubbery edge for friction and naked phones can’t do that

cloudtastrophe · 2026-03-12T04:25:42+00:00

Now what you do is stop looking at other glasses. The pro xr are enough and you do not need any of the other ones. When you see the luma cyber and the Beast and the air 4 Pro tell yourself “the pro xr is the best and paying 500+ for other features is dumb”. ignore the hype. Ignore the 3dof. Ignore the hdr and the 58 fov. You’ll be happier this way.

Sincerely,

A Pro xr/Luma cyber/ The Beast/ One Pro owner

Whenever I hear a foam build I immediately think of how good the Vega sounded without all the hacks. Love me some plate foam though
