The only video of many many, that actually helped me to make the right decision to purchase these. Thank you!
Love your positivity in these videos! Please keep up the good vibes 🌸🤘
Concern to the question of Oscar Merlos, mentioning, that Avegant Glyph is just as good as the NREAL device (because of 720 output). Beside the fact, that the Glyph is not as comfortable to wear, as the Air´s: Steam Deck CAN output 1080p and will on the NREAL Air glasses (Just tell the Steam Deck, to output the game in 1080p, when connected to an external "screen" (as it is, on NREAL Air). Not the newest AAA titles, but games from 2 or 3 years ago and older, no problem, especially when using 30 of 40fps mode. Thank you so much for mentioning the Nubia RedMagic Adapter (ordered one instantly, as on Black Friday Sale in the moment) (!!!) and quote my question! - I´m honored (as I am no native english speaker - I am from austria). Very informative vid, thank you for sharing! - Subscribed. :)
What I really want to see from a pair of glasses like these are tools for carpentry work, like lines to keep things level, measures, pitch calculation and such.
Show me where the studs are (or do I have to turn the glasses around to find that?)
@@MercMan115 Using better tools doesn't get the job done for you. Imagine being able to see an anchored laser level line across your field of view that isn't effected by sunlight, isn't occluded by your body and doesn't require you to set the tripod up over and over again or figure out how to get it high enough.
That said, if and when a robot fully capable of doing the job itself is available, I'm spending my time at the beach.
Yo I need help do these work with a nintendo switch lite
Thank you for this informative and honest Q&A! 10/10
The perfect game companion ...
Great video and clear answers ☺️
I got these glasses a few days ago. When I plug it into my android phone Samsung Dex pops up and I got some widgets to give me a map and time/date/temperature above the map and all video content is mapped to the top left, so I can still see the world around me but focus on anything the glasses display in front of me. It's wild
Getting mine tomorrow. Seeing this comment makes me so much more excited
If your able to, where can I get/find widgets to put on my Samsung Dex?
@@astralegacy8243 the ones that come with Dex Max seem to be default widgets. I've got some other widgets I've downloaded for my phone launcher but they don't seem to appear in Dex's widgets
OOf thats sounds even better now.
Oh my God, these videos tease me badly. My pair of glasses are still on the way from China!
Thanks for the video - you are a nice pal so I did subscribe your channel.
Cheers! Hope you enjoy your new bit of kit!
Amazing video 👍
Thanks for the mention ❤️
Thanks for your hard work on the app!
Amazing video! Thanks so much for making it!!
REALLY want to use these as an external monitor for my windows laptop when I'm mobile but I'm bummed that it's not working correctly. Thanks again for the info.
Are you having a technical problem getting a signal, or is it just that there is no "Nebula for Windows"?
@@DavidAddis no I don't own the glasses and there's virtually no information on using these as a extended monitor for Windows. my comment was based on your "don't buy them for Windows" and I was just super bummed that they don't work for this scenario.
@@SkateEverythingProject Sorry. 🙂 Yeah, never say never I guess. I think we have to wait for the vision tech to catch up with the tech vision, as it were.
@@DavidAddis I just really appreciate your hard work at answering the detailed questions and REAL world use cases. Almost all other content out there is sponsored and basically just a puff piece showcasing wow factor items with no cons.
I'm with you I just really want this to be a functional large format display that enlarges whatever device it's connected to.
Thanks for saving me $400 though! ❤️👍
@@SkateEverythingProject You’re welcome, cheers!
Any idea how it would work with goovis wireless cast for wireless streaming and charging at the same time ?
Took mine back after a few days. In the UK, it would cost at least an extra £100 to get prescription lenses put in them. They were uncomfortable, wouldn't work with most of my devices, would only "kind of" work with others, have massive issues with glare on the steam deck and caused nausea. This really is technology in its infancy. Still, I was amazed by the amount of people telling me to shut up and live with it on various forums, or trying to claim that I have an eye problem or astigmatism or something, when I don't.
Fair enough! I agree it's still early tech.
If you have nausea, you are just not fit for current AR/VR technology.
However, it is a very valid point that not everyone can see through it. People really need to realize that this kind of gear requires you to either test it for a few days and be able to bring it back if you can not handle it. Future generations might be better, but that would take another 20 years or so.
But yeah: it cannot be said often enough: try VR/AR first. Or buy or rent to see if you can handle it with a return policy that allows you to return it if you can't. The device is too expensive to just buy and shut up and live with it.
This is especially so for more expensive devices, but 400 euro is I think something you shouldn't just throw away.
To be clear: if I would be sure this would be able to replace a 1920x1080p monitor for daily work and I would not have any of those problems, I would already have it.
But as this guy says it: it might just not work for you for a slew of problems, of which 70% is between your ears (nausea, handling render problems), and 10% is between your brain and the glasses (optics). It's up to that 20% to fix it.
But infancy no... Infancy was the nintendo 3D glasses of 30 years ago, together with the power-glove, that's how old this technology is for end consumers.
First world problems. People are correct, you must shut up and sell it.
@@PutsOnSneakers "First world problems"? That doesn't even make sense. Also, no. No, I really *don't* have to "shut up". People want to make informed decisions about expensive devices like these, and people have the duty to tell the truth, rather than shut their mouths because some weaselly little stooge like you can....what? What *do* you get out of this?
I’m really saddened that these didn’t work for you 😞 I got these and I absolutely love them and I also have astigmatism try the Rokid ones
Great information, thanks for this.
Can the Nreal play VR videos like the ones on RUclips? And is there headtracking for these videos? That would be so cool.
Any info on how they fit on the bigger heads? Like 60cm.
There is no info if the Temples/Handles has any retraction to get more lenght/depth.
The Glyph has a much smaller virtual screen and is exponentially harder to dial in. The Glyphs took weeks to learn and get right, the Xreals took minutes and the display is better, although smaller Glyph display still looks very good.
How long viewing before you get the eye fatigue similar to wearing a VR headset / Quest 2?
I’m frustrated by the adaptor not working on iPhone 14 pro max. The iOS is 16.3 beta, is there a workaround ?
Idk how many times I've almost pulled the trigger on the "add to cart" button over this past year. Watched dozens of videos on it as well, guess I'm still waiting for the perfect version of it to hit.
Same I’m waiting on a $300 price tag
Hi, some great questions answered there, thank you, something I can't seem to find the answer too though, if your say connecting it to your android phone and simply mirroring the phones screen, can you access and view your phones camera and view it thorough the glasses, this would be awesome as I'm short sighted and would be able to zoom into the distance
Can you try the nreal ar glasses with peak do wireless hdmi and see if it works . That way you can try to use them wirelessly with a pc without lags .
I’d be happy to try it if someone sends me one!
To clarify your "As a Work Display" answer - are you saying that if the Nebula AR Desktop wasn't laggy, it would be comfortable to use for long periods of time? As in, the glasses physical comfort, resolution, and text legibility would be acceptable if the software was ironed out?
Mostly… yes. I’m not sure the lag can be entirely fixed in software. It might be inherent to the hardware. Also the resolution is relatively low (less than 1080p) when using Nebula, so it wouldn’t suit doing tasks that require a lot of screen real estate. But if both of these problems could be fixed, I could see it being a valid alternative to desktop displays.
Can we use them on GPS apps like google maps for navigating? So we don't need to look down on our phones.
Hi can you tell me something. I just got my glass but the color saturation on the glass seems very overly saturated. Does the firmware fixed it?
Just ordered my Nubia redmagic, hopefully I can do some janky connections/adapter wizardry and use them with my DJI drone.
GingerFX is 'Nebula' for windows...before nebula for windows by Nreal
Have you noticed blurry areas on the lenses where some text is not as sharp? Wonder how widespread it is. I'm on my 3rd pair and each has a variation of this problem.
Sorry, no I haven’t. Are the blurry areas whole lines, or circular blobs? So weird that you’ve had 3 sets like this!
@@DavidAddis not blobs, not whole lines, just areas that fade. Not bad enough for video or games, but def on text and icons. For example my dock is blurry in the right lens, left is fine. annoying. will keep replacing. At this point I would pay a premium to someone that has a good pair..
@@tomkruk2585 Have you tried checking your eyes for cylinder? The mind is a wonderful thing, you might have cylinder, and you would never notice it because your brain corrects the image before perception.
@@bloepje No, but I have 3 pairs and each have the same issue but in different spots. Also, when I move the glasses the blurry areas move so its not like I see blur in the same areas which would be indicative if it was a problem with my eyes.
Can you watch 180 or 360 video ? Moving the head is detected ? How good is the immersion ?
I'm interested in of getting these, here is the scenario where im looking for, so when this is connected to my iPhone 14 Pro max and im also using airpods pro gen 2, it can play head track-ed spatial audio while watching some movies on Netflix?
does this work on nubia red magic 7 specially the AR SPACE ? also what does this AR GLASS nreal air maximum refreshrate?
while gaming
I feel like I need to try them again but I found playing it was the same as if I was just playing on the steam deck. (I returned them after 1 day)
I think its specific too me as I have a very large field of view. I'll probably just have too get a mortgage and buy a pimax.
how long does the phone battery last for watching movies only
Can you read PDF files with those glasses? I would like to play piano using them to read music
Currently I use my Nreal as a dedicated Steam Deck peripheral. At first I thought it was a pretty expensive accessory, especially the way I am using it. However the Nreal atmosphere is pretty open source and waiting to see if there is any development in the windows PC space. Currently there is only android and MacOS, which has some great applications but would love to see the same in windows.
Did you gave to update your glasses? I heard there is an update, but I only have the stem deck and apple IPad.. Since they don’t have an app for apple. Im getting kinda worried. They come in today, but I’m hoping they just work out the box with no issues. If I known what a issue it is to update, I wouldn’t have gotten it.
@@Food4thought1234 so how was it?
do u need the app to use it with the steam deck or is it just plug n play, also does it work with an andorid without the app ?
@@baraaamir7891 plug and play
@@baitboy3191 I just got mine a couple days ago but it seems that the Deck is locked at 30 FPS. Did you experience this?
Can you charge your phone using a portable power bank and a wireless charging pad whilst using the glasses plugged into your phone ?
I’ve seen this done, yes!
Installed FarePlay but don't know how to find any 3D content. There is a X-plane user trying to use CloudXR but I don't know that well either.
Appreciate this vid thanks
I wish you could make the display smaller and put it in the corner of your vision. This way you could walk around watching a video and still see your environment.
Are the corners sharp and in focus? I have issues with my Rokus Air and the corners have chromatic aberration, a bit too blurry for window and text and interface for desktop mode.
My nreal air keeps blacking out and won’t turn on I literally just bought it, got any advice?
Hi, thanks for the video/info....how do you update the firm wear?
There are a few ways, you can connect them either to an Android phone and run Nebula, a Mac and do the same, or a PC and go to their activation website.
@@DavidAddis Thanks i've got ultra 22 (uk)...still doesn't seem to be supported...but I can still watch Iplayer, prime, youtube...Which is good but looking forward to being able to enjoy 'more'....
I bought a hdmi to USB c cable 4k 60 trying using them with ginger xr (Windows old version and another attempt with windows new version)
It doesn't seem to recognize the virtual display. Any help?
Which HDMI -> Usb-c cable are you using? It needs to support DP Alt mode.
How do these compare to the 2021 MAD Gaze Glow Plus?
I hadn't heard about the MAD Gaze Glow Plus until now! Specs-wise, they look quite similar, but I would point you at this comment from Reddit that suggests the 53 degree FoV of the Glow Plus is _too_ big:
www.reddit.com/r/nreal/comments/w0d1zz/comment/igicjvq/?context=3
is that possible use it with a not compatible phone, just mirroring it ?
can you lock a screen in the corner of your eye, but that also moves with your head? I would like to use this while I work, but I turn allot so it would be great that I can sporadically watch it, but that it does not block my view of the real world either.
on second thought, maybe i can lock it on the ground xD so when i want to watch, I just need to look down. but in the corner would be better, if anyone knows :) ?
Please help me! I have both Nreal Air and Nreal Adapter. I try to connect it to PS5. My problem is, I dont know what cable I should use to connect these. Please just tell what brand and what cable should i use to make it work
do u need the app to cast from an android phone? because the app is not available in many countries
Just reminded me to update the firmware again lol thanks
Anyone know if these will work with an old Mac, pre M1, probably around 2015 Mac,
Can you please test it with shadow pc running on an android phone, and see how things work, Inc multiple screens
I so want this stuff, man it be nice if there's one in like bestbuy that you can check first.
I purchased the Rokid Air because they were on sale for $310. That was about $60 less than the Nreal Air. The Rokid Air are crystal clear, but the screen seems more like the size of a normal monitor when connecting to my Mac M1. I suspect using the Android software might yield a much bigger display size. I guess once you've experienced a big screen on an Oculus you expect more. I understand it won't be 3D like that but the size isn't even comparable.
My Rokid Air are extremly blurry in the edges. You can't read the HUD on games or the Steam menu on the Steam deck.
Heres an odd one. I know the company has added SteamVR compatibility with it, have you tried it? How is it?
It works but the field of view is very limited.
mine are supposed to arrive any day now.
If you tilt your head does the display tilt also?
With Nebula (Android or Mac), yes. All other times: no.
the moving screen is a killer on nreal
Hi! Thank you for your informative video. It was very helpful. But just to be sure, I am asking again. I am a software developer working in a PC environment. I am considering this headset to get rid of the monitor and to make my desk more comfortable. So, I will be developing code for hours with this headset. Did I understand correctly? With this headset, you can watch videos, play games, but it's not practical for coding.
Do you have any AR headset recommendations for this task? Thanks again.
Indeed. I wouldn’t recommend it for extended business use. I’m not sure there is a decent HMD for that use case, yet.
@@DavidAddis Thanks for the answer. I'm sorry to hear that. I've been trying to get rid of desktop monitors for a long time too. The closest options to this are "Lenovo ThinkReality" or "Hololens" glasses, but they are also very expensive.
Use immersed app on the quest and the set it up on the deck via desktop mode using a Web browser.
Iiiiinteresting!
Hello I'm in need of some wisdom
Have a nreal air this app is already running on another display message on the screen
How about with Raspberry Pi 4, mini laptop?
Is it compatible with samsung galaxy m32?
Why the quest 2 can't just do what the nreal air does baffles my mind.
Can I use two Nreal Air at the same time on one device?
They’re basically external displays, so I expect it would work if you’re not using the AR features.
Is it support Netflix and Prime videos?
Where can one buy these in the UK? I saw these on the EE website, but looks like you need an EE registered device? Thanks.
Hello, you need to go in to the store to place the order. Might be worth ringing ahead so they know what to do. :)
@@DavidAddis I've tried so many EE stores, although they say it's possible to order in store I've actually found it impossible, I've had to ask a friend that's on EE contract to order them for me. BTW you can't order them online either, not without an account . Frustrating don't come close, the contract EE have with Nreal is to distribute to all UK not just their customers, yes been in touch with Nreal too
@@tonybyne Ah, that does sound annoying. 😬 I got mine from the EE store on King’s Road, near Sloane Square. Maybe I got really lucky? I asked in a few others and they didn’t seem to know I could order it. Glad you managed to order a pair through your friend though!
Get it from a ma zon ( j a p a n ) they ship really fast and it’s cheaper.
@@anguslean4058 too much ag mate, you have to create a new account then deal with all the import taxes, works out much more expensive, especially when you consider they’re only £340 at the moment. Anyhoo I have them now, just got to get the iOS adapter
These seem like they got a lot of potential. I would like to ask: do these get picked up as 2 seprate screens on PC or just 1 screen? i'm curious as to weather Nvidia sourround would work in Pc games with it to give you a wider field of view
Chris P Bacon username lol that was from the news where the newscaster kept laughing at the name of the pig
Dumb question, but how do i get the prescription glasses on the nreal glasses? Like do I need to go to the eye doctor to get me prescription glasses? Lol oh and also, is anyone else having overheating problems with their glasses? Or is mine just defective
Bring them to your Dr.
Plugged into my phone to watch a movie, I have no problems. Bit laggy on Prime UK. But really, I need a native PC app so can use my 'desktop' PC to use this. Not dissapointedly hugley, but it has more potential. Could have huge potential with a bit more effort
I googled Avegant Glyph and it's nowhere near $40 (I found it closer to $300). Where can I buy it for $40?!
I got it a few years back on new egg for 100$. I'm sure people bought them cheap and were trying to sell them higher. That's probably why you see them at 300
Mine turn off when I use it with my deck
Rokid station or Xreal Beam?
How about android phones who dont have displayport over usb c
answer to niel warren you could use an andriod and ios app called splashtop streamer it would need a server app installed on the laptop provided it works with the glasses you could have a remote pc or mac screen streamed directly to the glasses and you should also be able to control your computer wirelessly get a bluetooth finger mouse and pair it with your phone a good data plan for your mobile/cell phone and you could actually lose wieght and be more efficient by leaving the laptop stationary so as not to sleep also would save the laptop screen lifespan too i plan to buy a pair soon to use with my lenovo miix 520 with registry hacked intel gpu vram increased to 4gb ill buy a pair then hope they bring nebula to windows 10 and ill use them for my volumetric capture studio if they bring 3d sbs vision and steam support and either vive controller or 3rd party controller support like the nolo ns1 they could potentially be used as moderate use steam vr headset granted they dont have a camera but if these pick up in the hacking and modding community something im studying basic maths with intention of doing electronics and woodwork (woodwork means i can handle anything up to sheet metal) i have a quest2 and enjoy working in vr with vpatial and virtual desktop but id love a pair of mixed reality so i can use them to learn while using other devices as the learning station for me the ability to draw on my lenovo miix 520 tablet while having a tutorial on how to draw or 3d design something is worth what im willing to pay for them the quest is great for times when you just want to get busy but to be able to use them to practically learn and the fact i can program and there are plenty of open source apps that could be ported to work with nreal hopefully they pick up speed with the hacking and modding community they get steam support and windows 10 and 11 support and a version of nebula throw in a decent bluetooth camera nreal and let google AR and VR take care of the rest im buying a pair cuz they can be coded and have an openly available sdk for developers one of which i intend to be software and if possible when completed electronics hardware mods this will be perfect for my volumetric home studio and my secondary venture clothes printing and embroidery tools and software
Xreal Air Beam can lock the screen in place :D
can you charge the steam deck while using nreal air？
Yes it is possible, but you need to find the right adaptor(s). I’d check the Nreal subreddit for the latest info on this.
♥️
is it obvious that a screen is on while you use them? or so they look like sunglasses
Can you play a game on tripple screen??
Can't believe how few people realise how much potential AR has. So many people lost
Helps a great deal in navigation and summary information search, but we need something other than Google because we need consistent information, not information the search history thinks you are looking for (search engine filter bubble).
@@Aereto you're insinuating Nervelink lol
No with AR we can physically see greater distances, see through walls, read illnesses, highlight areas of vapour and gasses, highlight key concepts in large texts, visual discription of objects, symbols etc, thermodynamics illustration, memory assistant via second brain formats, danger analysis, remote viewing, video communication via AI assisted facial expression represenation and prediction. These are just a few things now, there's plenty more uses and will be hundreds more
Don't underestimate AR, seriously
2:07 - Blackout Reason: that adapter from N-Real, that you buy, to connect to your nintendo switch & iPhone to N-Real Air.
Well this adapter..,
is battery powered, you have to charge it, (via USB-C) when it dies out - that’s when you get black out.
These claim to be like a 130 inch screen at around 10ft and also like a 201 inch screen at 6 meters. Is there different modes that actually make it look like these two different views? Or does it always look the same and they could also claim it’s like a 400 inch screen at 12m too?
There is actually a sense of distance, like where your eyes are focusing on a screen as if it was in front of you. With Nebula (on Mac or Android), you can indeed change the apparent distance away from you, probably between the two quoted ranges (I haven’t measured that).
With every other device, you are stuck with a headlocked display that feels like it’s about 4m away, and 130” sounds about right for that.
@@DavidAddis thanks for taking the time to reply! I wasn’t aware they could make it genuinely look further away, that’s awesome.
@@davidgordon3744 yes, I was quite surprised when I saw it, too!
@@DavidAddis if I may ask another question on my mind. Did you find the need of the hdmi adapter for console use limiting? To my understanding, it’s battery life would only allow for 2 hour play sessions and it doesn’t appear to be able to charge while using it. It makes me concerned it wouldn’t last more than one long movie if connecting using an iPhone through the adapter.
@@davidgordon3744 yes, I find it pretty unsettling knowing it’s running off batteries! I would recommend the GoFanco (or equivalent) instead if you can find it. 🙂
I want to know how calls would be like
Screen resolution is supposed to be better than Avegant Glyph I can afford them but I don't think it's Augmented Reality and it drains battery life freakishly fast I'd skip these. They look GOOD but I am skipping out on this device until we have the actual headsets coming out by next year according to internet rumors and one tech demo on RUclips showed Lenovo was working on a headset with an integrated Android OS and way better FOV.
bit old....
-now there is beta nebula for windows too
- you can power without redmagic using hub and y hdmi usb to usbc dp splitter cable, just with that unidirectional cable
Thanks for the updates! Yes, there has been a lot of development in a year!
it does not work with a cheaper adapter than the original one
thx for commenting this (:

“An you wear your normal glasses with these?”
In case somone wanted to know what I wanted to know.
10:20 this is like putting a wheel on a wheel
Have these glasses and they are ... gathering dust for more than a month already. They are useless without open specification of how to turn on stereo mode and access sensors
Don't talk about my dongle!!!
Are we not gonna talk about the peppa pig game on the switch in the thumbnail 💀
In VR = IMAX screen size
the way you say beta makes me giggle
Why not make them wireless just implement a battery pack
Nreal EH
PFFFFF this video got dated fast, the nreal air now supports side by side 3d on the latest update
I know these are early kit, and better things will come later, but this seems really half baked, not ready for production. I would pay a lot more for just a few more features. I really think this is what Apple is working on, something that isn't a full blown VR headset but something this size that can display the equivalent of two or three of their Studio Displays virtually so computing on the go isn't hunched over looking at a tiny single screen when the hardware can drive, well, two or three studio displays. Glasses like this that are just a little more powerful, even if a price tag of 2k, would be so useful and justify the price. These companies will be hurt by Apple but I don't think that will change sales of full blown PCVR headsets or even stand alone headsets.
VR is great but these ar glasses just doesn't have a lot to them resulting in just another gimmick
PLEASE! NO wireless… Then we neeed batteries, weight and shit in the glasses… Much better to have battery and processing in your phone/pad/laptop…
Got my pair yesterday. They feel cheap, loose, light. I kept hearing about how crisp and great the screen looks - and it does get bright - but text is difficult to read even after several hours of troubleshooting adjustments. Also, it only works on PC if you have a specific adapter. None of my third party usb c cables work with it, only the one it came with which is only 3-4 ft to my estimation. I tried it with my macbook too, and it's just meh. With the text being so blurry and hard to read, and the screen being such a disappointment - I dont think I will keep them. I kept reading and hearing that its like having a "201" or "130" inch screen (mixed claims from various sites) yet that has not been my experience at all. It's more like a 5 inch cell phone 3-4 inches from your eyes/ nose. Tons of peripheral vision around the screen because its so small. Idk - maybe Im doing something wrong here. That could be the case due to the horrendous instructions that are totally insufficient and all of the limitations and extra cables and adapters and coverters that are required depending on what you want to use it with - which is just another con to add to the list because it feels like this was a prototype kickstarter project. Id, I'll probably send it back and wait for the Quest 3 as long as it doesnt have those stupid fucking lenses with the rings on them and the screen door effect.
Holy shit man, they do suck... But just remind yourself to throw them out on my garbage can... 🗑️
I've had them for a few days. I am able to plug them directly in to my PC's USB-C and they work just fine as a second monitor. I played around with them a bit using MS Word and was able to split the screen to type a document while having a PDF side-by-side on the same monitor to read from. I didn't have any issues with reading the text in the main display area although it gets a bit fuzzy at the corners (I may need to adjust the nose pieces). While the PC, running Windows 10, recognizes the glasses as a second monitor I haven't seen an option to swap through multiple monitors and/or split the one giant monitor into separate, smaller, monitors, which I think would be better than doing a side-by-side. As for the steam deck, the picture looks crisp and the deck recognizes it as soon as it is plugged in. The whole issue with the deck shutting off the port after it gets below a certain battery level is a bummer though. Yes, I can get the adaptor, but more wires just means more clutter.
I will say that while the glasses are fun, the lack of PC support and the battery/port issue with the Steam Deck limits their utility.
@@johnluchristt732 I returned mine. I’ll wait for the Quest 3.
Where do you go to update the glasses
