Imagine watching something while at work lol

Just curious, I did a quick search on Amazon US, for us living down under here in Australia and thinking of getting one. Think again, it will cost you around $700 AUD, not included shipping, yeah nah, pass.

Try importing from amazon Japan they deduct tax if shipped to overseas and with the current exchange rates it is cheaper than importing from amazon US.

Terrible promo video

I don't believe you can. You'd have to wear it over your existing glasses or contacts.

Nreal has always shipped special lens inserts with both the Light and Air glasses. But you'll have to get the actual prescription lens from a local optician's and then you'll be able to wear them on. I've done that and it works great!

What makes text unreadable?
Isn't AR images superimposed in real scenarios, like contextual info from stores if you are looking at them and warnings if you are in front of a charging bull and can't process that that specific hunk of sentient beef will ram it's horns on you and make you bleed?

I don't know. Please clarify. Watch bulls. Specially on your wife.

How does that work? Just bring the frames to the optician and say you want new lenses cut to fit the new frame I assume?

I’ve always just purchased whatever cheap frames the shop has lol

Until you're able to read subtitles on them, I'm out.

I have a pair of these and you can absolutely read subtitles on them. The image is crystal clear and sharp.

yeah, the lens inserts are samples to provide the right size/fit. An optician should be able to cut new ones of that shape and replace the samples with your prescription.

The inserts then clip into the glasses securely

I am not too interested in the AR part, but I have been looking somewhat for glasses that can stream from my handheld devices (through USB or a wireless connection with no lag) so I can play games without straining my arms or neck.

Anyone know if these are good for that?

Also, do they get really hot?

Why does it need a separate battery powered HDMI to DP adapter for Switch consoles?

Some VR makes me throw up. I remember playing some racing game on the ps4 where i did a few donuts on the track by accident and it took me 10 minutes to get over the feeling of loosing my lunch...

100% yes. Holding my steam deck near my face while lying down was terrible. Now I can lay down and look at a huge screen at my ceiling and hold the device as if it was just a normal controller. I think the top of the glasses where it touches your eyebrows get a little warm but never hot.

Seems about right given that there are a number of obvious drawbacks to something like this, most of which are covered by the one three-star review that's up on Amazon already. Pretty much the only use case would be watching movies/TV shows (without subtitles) on a simulated big screen, as text is unreadable.

I don't believe you can. You'd have to wear it over your existing glasses or contacts.

You can just need to get em fitted
