All I know is that people 100 years later watches this low res 2D video with AR quantum PC contact lenses and think this is so primitive.
They will be seeing through their neural implants, not eyes.
society will colapse before that, climate change is real
CONTACT LENSES???? Are you a caveman!?!?!? By then every1 will have chips impanted DIRECTLY into their brains. GPU chips impanted into our visual cortex and interface chips in our motor cortex, all conntected to another chip that reads/writes directly into our brain.
Pshh... Contact lenses.
@@Antimonious wow really? What else did you see when you went to the future?

This is a very interesting idea. Particularly for a Step 1. Imagine being on a flight, currently everyone around you can see your screen, whereas with this, they cant see your screen, so you can edit emails, read confidential information or watch movies
This is basically one of the uses I use my Nreal (Xreal) air glasses for on my normal laptop. I also use it with my tablet, phone, and handheld gaming devices depending on the situation. Sometimes it is for privacy and sometimes it is jut to get a bigger screen. I do not use the augmented mode and maybe it is improved on newer glasses, but it always seemed more like a gimmick compared to the screen mode. Maybe it helps some people with motion sickness.
Also a full VR headset like the Quest to just get a mobile private screen is an awful idea. The weight and bulk of those are just insane to consider for applications line that.
I can plug my AR glasses into my Samsung phone and have a full desktop environment (dex). The phone turns into a track pad and you can connect a wireless keyboard if you want.
What this device accomplishes is already possible, the only difference is this is a dedicated device for that one single purpose. Why not just plug AR glasses into your laptop? $1900 is hilarious for a Chromebook too
This idea has been floating around for a while. The problem is this is just a glass extension monitor, similar to hooking up your laptop to a PC monitor or TV.
Wouldn't it work better if you connect to your ipad or phone for private views?
This feels like some oddware from the 00s
It reminded me to the Sony Glasstron immediately :)
the glasstron reminded me of apple vision pro immediately :(
"Virtual displays" are in heavy state of development currently. Meta has been working on AR glasses, but now they claim they have an "iPhone Moment" level device coming within a few years. Apple joined the fray and partnered WITH Disney. This industry is growing.
Makes much more sense to use AR glasses over USB-C with something like a Samsung phone that can be used with the DeX desktop interface. That way when you get a new phone you get a new computer.
This is how i currently use mine when i dont need the processing power of a full on laptop. There are already a few pc in keyboard devices out and in development.
While this seems like a good idea, Im not sure how viable it is as a glasses-only product. Might be only a little more expensive to go with a surface pro and a pair of glasses, at least if i need to show something to another person i dont need to share glasses, and id also have the flexibility of a stylus as well as the ability to double stack displays if needed.
Reminds me of the first cellphones where you had to carry a case with the receiver. Looks like a relic already.
Putting it that way makes me super curious about what future tech is gonna be like, based on your comparison.
This company should just sell the glasses with an app that can be used with most laptops already available.
I think it's making the same mistake as the Rabbit R1 and trying to be more and replace more than it should.
kinda weird they made it permanently connected. Loses a lot of usability…
The cord is permanently connected to the laptop, but the cord can disconnect from the glasses allowing it to be multifunctional
The issue is all the compute is housed in the laptop… the display though I’ve heard is awesome. Cheers
@@Shermantank-zm9ez The problem is like all cords, it will stop working at some point. Ports are better, and magsafe like the Viture XR glasses are much better.
@@Shermantank-zm9ez Themselves.
NOT them selfs.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M Psycho v3 Venom not PSYCHOV3N0M
$1900 for these specs is insane.
I love AR glasses (I own xreal & Rokid), but you can get a much more powerful laptop AND AR glasses for that price. Just use Nebula.
Foreal the ar glasses is 800 at beat so the lapdock is 1,100 and you don't even have a screen lol or standalone ar glasses. Glorified waste of money
not sure why you would not just plug AR glasses into your laptop???😅
Can't wait until the technology allows for an AR monocle
Or the tiny Morpheus ones 😂
What's an AR monocle?
that's never gonna happen without artificial eyes
@@vivekpraseed918 AR glasses, but instead of two eyeglasses it only has one.
@@daudimasinde6280 thnx
This would literally eliminate my use for my desktop with multiple screens in my office. Set an alarm me to just let my desktop sit somewhere then I can remote into it from anywhere. Allowing me to make my home office into a completely different room. This is actually excellent.
I tried something similar. Best I can describe it, is it was like watching a giant screen through a toilet paper tube. You could only see a small part of the screen at a time and had to move your head a lot to see everything. In the end I didn't like the experience.
I tried it last year and didn't bother booking a demo this year. It's a cool concept, but for all practical purposes, you can do pretty much the same thing by plugging in $400 XREAL Air 2 glasses into your current laptop. Which is exactly what I do. On my way to AWE I was watching Netflix on the Air 1 connected to my phone. Other flights I've been known to tinker in Blender while wearing them. Unless you are planning to use it only when traveling, and travel multiple times a month, so you have something a little lighter without a display, I don't really see the practicality of a hard-tether for the SpaceTop.
I liked the dance move you did there to connect different devices 😂
Not being detachable is a miss imo.
And the computer itself doesn’t seem powerful enough to cost $1900.
Great concept tho. I almost preordered a couple months ago.
perfect for the Hub
This is great for those who need to use several screens for their job, saves you having to have 3 monitors taking up a lot of space on a desk…
This is kinda like that headless macbook pro and the vision pro together but more optimised?
Connect to MacBook Pro, you can do everything that was shown. I do it with my Xreal 2 + the Beam to be while you free.
I own a pair of x real glasses I use with a mac mini, they're great, I love using them but they get uncomfortable. I wish xreal cared more about comfort than how the AR glasses looked.
Except that's not very portable, is it? You can't use it on a train, or a plane, or in a car.
@@mattbosley3531 you're right a mac mini has it disadvantages. I'm ok with non portability though, if you have a usb c iphone you can use the xreal glasses to watch videos anywhere or type on a bluetooth keyboard
@@mattbosley3531 I figured the since the mac mini is cheaper and I don't have to worry about a breaking a screen or bad battery it's worth non portability
Can you connect them with a laptop and not use the screen kind of like an Apple Vision Pro?
@@johnw7707 I'm not sure, I use a mac mini
how's that different from attaching your samsung phone via dex into something like the Lenovo Legion glasses?
AR glasses can replace LCDs in plane and tank crew displays.
A lot of people who want screens on the go already have Xreal Glasses or some equivalent. Creators should try to think in that direction. If you made saaaaaaay a new version of the Sony Vaio P that could slip into an inner suit pocket...That would be an insta buy for me. Focus on a slim, light usb-c video out device with a just big enough keyboard to type. 9 inches would be ideal. Giggidy.
watching this with virtual desktop on my meta quest 3 made this have a layer to it that makes it more interesting.
just buy the glasses and use a galaxy phone with a bluetooth keyboard lol
Seriously, I can do this with my AR glasses and Samsung phone
Good to see were in a new era of computing!!!
Laptops in general need this ability. It should work like a plug in external ssd with any laptop.
This is trying to do what the Rabbit R1 did and trying to be more than it is, instead of just providing what is needed to what is already available.
This is pretty cool. I've used my Quest 3 at coffee shops and it's honestly super nice
I do the same with the XREAL Air and frankly, if you're just using it for virtual desktop stuff, the Air is just a nice and light form factor. No need to wear all that extra compute on your face in that circumstance. 🤷🏻♀ (That is, if you have an extra $400 to drop on an XREAL Air, I suppose.)
How does this work with different human vision levels/eyes that need glasses, etc?
they would go over your glasses, or you'd wear contacts; but if you're nearsighted, it might not be an issue as the screen is literally an inch and a half from your face
@@CuriuosKoala doesn't work for people with motion sickness
What about resolution of screen?
Does it show pixels like Meta?
I am using quest 3 and still find pixels
Me gustó más la idea que sean menos pesadas, y que al final el procesador esté en un equipo físico y que tenga teclado y track las muy dispensables para su uso
Thats a good AR product. I think these guys struck gold. I would use this instead of my desktop PC and my laptop. I think this is the way to go with AR for now, because there are already real use cases. Very cool! This is just gen 1!
The problem is those ap glasses is if the person have Shortsighted and wearing the glasses already how they wearing the ar glasses at the same time. I know they can buy the small plug in glasses for that ar glasses but that may be the good solution, because customer need to spend other money to buy and small item and need take time to wear. Also every time they wearing the ar glasses they need to take out their normal glasses first that isn’t good.
As someone who can’t sit for long and wants to be able to type laying down, this looks interesting. Not at the moment, but perhaps in the future?
it'd be cool if the AR glasses could be paired with your phone as digital keyboard & touchpad, though the main problem would be the battery life..
the one thing that sucks: the use of chrome-like web-based OS. Why not just use Linux at that, eh? If windows is out of the question, that is. I wanna be able to work properly on a desktop office suit. Can't possibly do that on the web-based version!
I like this idea. Hopefully this product will be improved to make it easier to use.
Not thrilled with the idea of the glasses being permanently attached. That seems like an easy way to make it unusable if either lens gets a scratch on it.
Sweet, I did that with an old Samsung Galaxy book, removed the broken screen and bought XReal Air2s. Works like a charm. Is this really new or are we being pranked.
2:45 what is up with her glasses? is it CGI overlay?
“Permanently put there” - cable breaks and the computer is completely useless and you said it’s basically just a Chromebook for 1900. It still looks awesome though, I don’t have AR but I do have a Quest and I love it so much even when browsing web and watching tv it’s just amazing. Only issue is the comfort but I guess AR glasses would mitigate that. I can see stuff like this becoming so awesome and useful and popular. Hopefully stuff like this and Apple vision push this kinda stuff into the mainstream and bring the prices right down, like we’ve seen with VR.
Interesting idea,
but ideally I'd rather have wireless tethering or the computing is done in the glasses and just use a foldable Bluetooth keyboard/track pad.
A mobile virtual office.
good for defense applications
Well if the spacetop is web app dependent, then it will require internet which means you are very limited in paces you can use your device.
Has a 5G sim included.
@DavidS406 that's great for city, but a flight, nope. Also being the pc is so expensive, that's additional 5g plan or wifi service that'll add up just to use something like word doc, pdf, and so on. We definitely an in depth review of this, maybe there's more to it's offline capabilities.
It just reminds me of the movie walle .
Honestly, i could see these kinds of glasses replace laptop computers altogether. As far back as the Google Glass, i saw something like this coming.
Don't think so, maybe they make sonething like a phone but oalways gonna need physical hardware, and the display in other device... I think glasses could be goof displays someday, It's good idea becouse you don't need too much space
The bottom line is people don't want to give up their peripheral vision. AR and VR kinda works for games and movies, but even then you still end up needing to see what your hands are touching or your surroundings. Cool gimmick - DEAD ON ARRIVAL.
set the transparancy or where the screen located
All well n good, sep the glasses heat up to much imo. used said glasses with my phone id say ~30-45mins was the max I could stand with how much heat they put out
Very good product.I can buy
Heading in a cool direction, I guess. But not there yet.
Would like something like this for stock trading but with a substantially higher screen resolution.
Make the glasses wireless, or make both ends USB-C detachable.
Otherwise, this is outdated before this even launches. Especially at $1900. Currently it only feels like they replaced the laptop screen with additional motion tracking hardware with a massive price tag slapped to it. I see what they want to do with this, and I hope it works out. But this prototype just isn't doing it for me.
1080p upload in 2024, damn
Whoa!
I hope the Xreal Air 2 Ultra has better FOV. The Xreal Air 2 Pro is super blurry on the edges. Very poor for when you're doing productivity. But it is great for watching.
needs a neuralink connector to plug directly into the visual cortex so can ditch the glasses and see 360 degrees like a spider
would be better if the glasses were not connected so you can use it with your phone at other times
This is what happens when innovation hits a wall...
in the future... there will likely be someone who uses this while driving despite warnings not to do so.
The cable is coming out of exactly the wrong place (front, between the user's legs) and will tickle them in the wrong places, too
Is it technically possible to create a VR GLASS that connects to your phone and use it as its brain for computing power. If yes there is your flagship product.
Samsung dex with AR glasses please
I don't need qwerty, put the cpu/battery in the case for glasses, I'll bring my own keyboard.
I think it should be cordless "AR glass "
Why were you not in the kendrick concert?
😂😂😂😂😂 On Dubz
I wonder how long it will take to port Linux to this. There is already a desktop with VR support, its called Simula, so, we're halfway there?
Doesn't the oculus go also let you have multiple virtual displays?
Not Windows or Mac.
man take my money now i dont care that its connected, this is frikin so cool
They could literally add the glasses onto any laptop? So what is the reason for this?
I think the advantage may be the head tracking …. Maybe? It’s been unclear.
1900USD for chromebook is just WOW
Erm. Why don't i just get from xreal on glasses, beam pro and a logitech pebble keyboard?
Space top is what joe U. has been talking about for years. Getting top in space is different from this though
You can get a laptop with a busted screen, remove the screen, and use viture, rokid, or xreal glasses and its cheaper. It's cool, but......i can use my viture and spacewalker on my samsung and do the exact same thing as this. This is definitely a step backwards.
Hmmmmmm pairing these with a pair of joy cons playing certain PC games could be interesting
Always make the cord plugable and easily replaceable.
Would love this with Flight Simulator.
This thing will be covered on LGR in 20 years
why use cable and not wireless?
good idea i actually tough of this..but why not make a cpu with the battery and the ram in it appart from they keyboard itself so we could use the keyboard that we want.
That's called a phone.
Great event
I want to buy it how much ❤
Firefox with multiple tabs open or chrome
Let's go
Get this with ipad - and I'd use them every day
same thing can be done with
Galaxy s8: $140
Xreal air glasses: $200
Bluetooth keyboard/mouse: $20
If they have the ability to make a case for a Surface or a MacBook, that'd be better.
Someone figured you can take a headless MacBook(that runs on a phone processor), a head mounted display(I refuse to call them AR because they aren't), and duct tape them together to make it a worse experience. Mind you this thing sells at 1900, at this price just buy a xreal glass and a M3 MacBook Air or windows.
That's some super spy super fly
When I heard "cord that's permanently put in there", already lost interest. Like any modern day cable, once that becomes faulty, you probably need the XReal Beam by then, to get it working with the included AR glasses. That's 120USD on top of the 1900USD pricepoint for future proofing.
How are documents saved?
😂
Vision OS
Windows MR
Daydream ?!?!!
We do have os’s that are capable of integrating with ar and vr
We don’t have the hardware to make it mainstream
This is not a bad idea.
Electromagneticfields are going to f up your cell function. The fields throw your cells iron into the electro magnetic field.impeading your blood cells function. But I want a robot va JJ!
this is so stupid, why not buy directly some ar glasses and use with your own devices?
actually YES... different people use different spec.
yeah this is extremely stupid
Because your own device still has a screen sticking out of it taking up space. And some people may not want that. So this is an option.
@@mattbosley3531 you can use a tablet
@@mattbosley3531 plenty of ways to disable video on main screen
OO LIKE THAT B WEB 3d
Wonder is this is is running on Windows l
Nope it's proprietary OS for this application. Android based
Pairing this with a 46 degree FOV was a big mistake.
Hello from Samsung Dex
The virtue pros just as good
Virutre is better, brighter, with myopia adjustment, and magsafe connector, which will last a long longer than a usbc port.
@@heyaisdabomb I'm guessing the magnetic connector from Viture is proprietary unlike USB-C??
If so, that's a BAD thing.

I'm in 2077 thank you hahaha

Now do it without an intermediary image. No little display inside the glasses being reflected into my vision. Instead, pipe photons through fiber optics that essentially paint the image onto my retinas like a raster display. Use the same optics to read my retina and know I am authorized to see the content being displayed. No more need for fingerprint scanners or passcodes. Instant bank account access in my vision, and not a single other soul could see it.
