Thank you!
Finally an unsponsored review! Thanks for your unpersuaded insights
Thank you for your kind words and support!
The video's great and the quality is great for someone who just started. You earned a sub for yourself. Keep doing great work!
Thanks for the sub and kind words!
I've been waiting for mine to arrive. It's been going through warehouse scan for a week now. I've never been so excited for tech
Best of luck to you that you get them soon. With the holiday season ramping up I feel we're all going to be waiting for things in the mail! Let me know if you like them and/or if you like other products! Thanks for the comment!
:D haha i think about the same ;) 8 hours in work like in home :D
@@adredy Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for the vid. Can you provide a link where I can purchase the gofanco adapter. I’ve been looking for an adapter like this to run the ar glasses and being able to power/charge the steam deck at the sam3 time.
There is apparently another adapter (or 2) that I learned about today that might also work. The first is the SIIG HDMI to USB C adapter (which I knew about before the review) but is usually more expensive than the Gofanco.
The one I learned about today is the Redmagic Gaming Dock. I don't have a trustworthy link for that one, but it's listed on aliexpress and other sites.
Here's the link for the Gofanco and SIIG adapters (both OOS at the moment, but they come in and out of stock often):

Thanks for your comment!
I got a pair and I’m going to return them. The permissions they ask for are crazy. Full access to everything on your phone / computer and a clause that says “we can send your data to another country that has different privacy laws”. That basically says you are legally exposing everything your phone/computer has access to. Bank accounts, personal data etc. it my sound paranoid but I’m prior military intelligence. Believe me, that can be abused like crazy.
Thanks for your reply and honest opinion. You're right about how much data can be abused -- it's definitely not something to ignore. From my recollection, I received a permissions request from my phone but I allowed only during the Nebula app use... and I disabled location so I'm not that concerned. Good looking out though.
@Watching RUclips Daily Thanks so much for your detailed reply. Now that I think back, I think I may have done the same thing. IIRC, the glasses needed a firmware update also (a recent update was to add iOS support I believe).
Gamers Genration, can you try to look further into this and give an update video? This device looks awesome but if it seriously has full access to my entire phone or device and can export any of that data somewhere else…that’s a dealbreaker 100%. It’s pretty much a hardware Trojan horse. Irresistible tech, just like google and the evil empire. Anyways, your review is absolutely perfect. Great to have a non-sponsored review. Cheers.
if you are only doing screen mirroring, there's no need to install nebula app
@@jemfalor Thanks for the comment! I may have been mistaken, as I remember it needed to be activated through Nebula first.
Do they have any official adapter that lets you charge the Steamdeck while you use the glasses yet? I know you could prob get a dock to do that but would prefer something small and officially supported incase of compatibility issues affecting visuals or something.
Thanks for your comments! As far as I know, there's no official adapter for a Steam Deck. There is an adapter for the Switch which sells on Amazon. And yeah you're right about the dock, I used a hub in the video but you could use a dock to do the same thing (as the middle step) I'm looking into another 3rd party adapter and hope to be able to do a comparison of a few once I get them in.
Thank you for this video!
You bet! Thank you for your comment!
You should get a vive flow and review it! I was thinking of getting one and just using it with my PC for sit-down games and desktop apps. But this would be a lot more versatile.. there's the part of me that wants both since they both do different things, but I'm definitely more interested in the AR aspect of things. I wish the field of view were better on these things!
Thanks for your comment and the suggestion! If I can afford it as part of my spending budget come this holidays I might just do that... I 1000% agree with you on the FOV, hopefully future generations of this product have something closer to 80 degrees or something... that would be insane!
Great vid, and guess what, it was in my recommendations! RUclips algorithm has blessed you.
Correction -- Poque Poque of the Terrific Ten (1st ten subscribers) has blessed me! Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing this video!
Thanks bro!
I've been using mine over a month and I'm loving it! using it for gaming with my Nubia red magic 7, and these are amazing. aside from this I use it for watching content. also about the lack of ports, go to the reddit sub of Nreal, there are lots of users posting and solving the ports with docks, Nreal is also said working on adapters for that. personally Im using the gaming dock that came with my Red magic "Red magic gaming dock", it have two usb c, one for charging and other one for data/video and third port is 3.5 jack for audio and mic. I use the glasses while charging the phone, users does used this dock with their steam deck and it worked as per them. the dock worked for me on my other phone Note 20 ultra. I did use it on Nintendo switch but seems like the switch works with HDMI adapters only. but there are some other adapters and docks that works.
also, it is AR glasses, it does have sensors when you move your head, I was looking at their 3d augmented app for Mac m1, it let you set up screens around you and look at it while working and same time augmented seeing around you, but I think it's still in beta, but hopefully they bring it to Windows.
for the steamdeck frame lock issue, I think they pushed update for the glasses framework and fixed that.
Thanks for your detailed comment and suggestions! I did order a redmagic adapter, it'll be awhile until I can do a follow up video since the shipping on it has been delayed though sadly... It is curious about the switch, it must be something to do with Nintendo locking it down or limiting it in some way....
I agree about the AR glasses... another comment that said it's not -- I think is thinking more so of MR.
As for the framerates, I will try looking for a firmware update, I didn't see any changes last night when I was using them, still the same behavior in the games I tried at least.
@@gamers-generation Hello, follw the Nreal reddit sub, I think they pinned the post for the update, you need laptop or android, I updated the glasses on my Android on their app Nebula, once you update the app then connect the glasses it will auto update it, don't unplug it until it's finished updating.
Glad you got the Nubia gaming dock, it's really good, just the type c port is side mounted and bulky, but I think it's not a problem for the steamdeck, I used a type c extension cabe to solve that 😅.
for the Nintendo switch, I think it has to do with their hardware, same as iPhones, it needs the adapter to allow video out, unlike on steamdeck, and Android some of it have video out capabilities on that type c port so all you need is a compatible right type c cable to connect it to the display or these glasses. what I love about the red magic dock is I can still use the MR on their Nebula app with it, but some user on reddit told me it doesn't work with his Samsung Z flip, he got a defective one as per him, for me it works with both Note 20 and red magic 7, Im pretty amazed how Nubia made this dock because believe me you won't find many docks online that have this features, especially two type c for charging and video out, most of it is even expensive and only have hdmi. I was so confused searching for days to find such dock but didn’t even know I have already one that came with my red magic phone that can do this.. haha.
sorry for my bad English 😄
@@gamers-generation Oh, upon checking now, they seem to removed the pin post, the Apk was 3.2.1 for the update, I think it's still in Beta, but for me it works fine and no problems. I can give you the apk to update the glasses but I think DM the Nreal assistant on the sub reddit and he can help you with the update 🙂 let me know if all good!
Update: sorry, I didn't check well, check the about tab on the sub reddit, second post have link will gets you to the new update information, the link for the 3.2.1 apk and other ways to firmware update it is there. Good luck! 😁
Epic review. Subbed!
Thanks for your kind words and support!
Great thorough review! I’ve been somewhat considering picking up some sort of AR glasses to try out for various reasons (gaming being one) for some time now, but hadn’t heard of this brand yet. I’ve noticed my steam deck doesn’t get remotely close to the battery life it’s claimed to be capable of even with all the settings optimized for maximum battery life, so I imagine I’d have to have everything plugged in in order to have any session with these for longer than an hour or so. I’m sure the price will come down at some point soon, but it doesn’t sound overly expensive for what they are.
BTW, for a new channel with only a handful of subscribers, this was a great quality video! Wishing you lots of success with your channel, and will be looking for more from you in the future in terms of cool tech reviews like this. 👍
Thank you so much for your kind words and support!
With regards to the deck battery life, while I was using the glasses with the deck (playing Spider-Man), I found I could play about 2-2.5 hrs before I felt the need to charge (battery would drop to maybe 25% from 100%) if that helps gauge anything at all. With the adapter, it definitely sidesteps that issue though.
Also for your reference, there are two other AR glasses I'm aware of (The Rokid Airs I mentioned) and TCL glasses which are on kickstarter right now. All of the specs seem fairly similar with a few different features between them.
Thanks again for your support and comment!
@@gamers-generation Truly my pleasure! As a fellow content creator, I know how much it matters & helps to have people help to raise you up by leaving honest, positive, & thoughtful comments, etc…
One of the ways I got my start on YT was by some larger channels randomly discovering my early videos and taking the time to leave some positive feedback & support for me in my comments, and that was one of the things that helped get things off to a great running start for me. So I now do the same to pay it forward to smaller channels that I come across that I think are great & deserving of getting far more attention than they currently do. 👍
@@FitLabb that's a wonderful story and definitely everyone should keep in mind. Thank you again!
UPDATE: I've posted a new video with a cleaner adapter (Red Magic Gaming Dock). Check it out here! ruclips.net/video/DURsJB12zmA/видео.html
This is basically an updated version of the Vuzix Eyewear that came out years ago. It was like playing on your xbox on a massive screen.
Thanks for the comment! I've never heard of those and will have to check them out for historical reasons now!
sony had a few things like this too
I personally use the rokid ar glasses with my laptop in my bag and a wireless controller its a real trip
Thanks for your comment! That sounds pretty amazing!
I liked this review a-lot coming from a gamer. You got the answers!
I have some questions of my own:
1. Are there any input delays? My setup will be plugged into a PC and playing FPS competitive games
2. Reliability scale 1-10?-Have you experienced any slowdowns or stutters or crashes? For example, running too many tabs or while gaming
Unrelated question: How good is the steam deck for remote play? (Single player games and competitive)
Thank you for your kind words! As for your questions:
1. I didn't notice any real input delay when playing on my Steam Deck, I didn't try on my desktop or laptop though. And unfortunately I don't play competitively -- I will say I would expect at least some input delay though since it's using HDMI 2.0 for the desktop conversion, and I can't find information on which version of DisplayPort but I imagine it's not 2.0 so there should be at least some delay.
2. I'd give it an 8 or 9 for reliability. I didn't notice any stutters really when paired with my deck, but once in a blue moon the image disappeared -- I assume that's more cable related than anything though.
f
3. I've only used remote play on my deck seldomly, but it works very well assuming you have a good connection at home and whatever your deck is connected to. From my testing, I didn't notice any real input delay and the controls all mapped correctly to the deck. You'll have to let me know if there's a specific title you're looking at though as I've heard some people haven't had good luck (particularly with unsupported games).
So for use on a Series X or PC without USB C on the GPU: With a powered adapter, you can go HDMI or DP to USB C and use these as a display for your Xbox or PC?
Presumably yes, I haven't tested DP to USB-C, but I assume that would just require an adapter rather than a converter (since it's the DisplayPort Alt Mode that carries the video signal). I've tested the HDMI to USB-C which works just like plugging in another monitor as it's recognized as an additional display. I intend to do an adapter comparison once I get a few more in hand. Thanks for your comment!
I wonder if they will have this so you can order it in Canada. It's like 700 something CDN almost 800 to buy from US site to Canada. Seems like just under 500 CDN after import fees if I order from Japan but not sure if there will be duty on top of that. Hopefully i n a few months it'll be purchasable in Canada.
Not that I would endorse any specific seller, but have you looked on eBay? I actually got my pair shipped from Japan before they started selling in the US. In Canada you should still be protected by eBay Buyer Protection if anything goes wrong -- of course the issue though is if you simply don't want them anymore -- so until Amazon Canada stocks them, returns might be a bit of a hassle... Do note that there are other glasses I didn't mention (outside the Rokid Air) since I just recently learned of them (both are on crowdfunding sites at the moment):
Dreamglass Flow (this one has an official adapter which they say supports Steam Decks, this looks similar to the Rokid Airs in terms of looks.)
TCL NXTwear S (made by the TV company TCL, has replaceable/interchangeable front glasses pieces)
Their specs all seem pretty similar bar a few slightly different features between all of the glasses.
Hi, have you tried using Type-C to HDMI cable with glasses and, Type C Dongle on Steam Deck?
Hi, if you mean an adapter from the deck to the glasses, I show one in the video. There are others and I plan to do a follow up video with adapters when I get them on hand.
If you mean a USB-C from the glasses to HDMI, unfortunately the glasses are the ones needing the input, so they don't send a signal backwards.
Hope this helps. Thanks for your comment!
Do you get a "slow charging" alert when using this adapter? My current adapter also provides passthru charging but I get that alert about slow charging
Hi Brad, thanks for your comment. I do not, it's likely that your adapter is less than 45w which is the deck's full charging speed. You'll probably need a different adapter, I'm assuming of course you're using the deck's original charger or a charger of higher wattage.
Nreal is a listed partner of Ant Reality that showcased up to 120FOV at CES. Many AR glasses have as low as 30degree FOV, Nreal Air is at respected 46 and Nreal Light is 52. Ant reality optics and display comes in “up to” 56, 85 and 120degree FOV!
So we will probably see a new and improved version of the Nreal Air or Nreal Light within a year or two.
I would highly anticipate that announcement! Thanks for the detailed comment!!!
This is kinda like the daydream headset but much better. I don't own a TV so this could definitely be a replacement when I just want to watch something on a big screen.
It's funny you mention that, 'cause there's something brewing that is Daydream but on steroids... go check out "Pimax Portal"... you won't be disappointed -- just confused (about who the target audience is). lol Thanks for your comment!
The switch you need the the dock like with TV. To make that portable I use a power bank with ac output. I can get about four hours of gaming with it, and with the glasses adapter it already has its own power bank, I heard last roughly the same as four hours for the glasses. Although kinda bulky should make the game sessions longer than 2 hrs.
Thanks for your comment! This dock you mean is for the Steam Deck? There is a more elegant solution I found after making this video in the Redmagic Gaming Dock, check out that review here if you have a few minutes!
ruclips.net/video/DURsJB12zmA/видео.html
@@gamers-generation the nintendo switch. Usually to take on the go it provides enough voltage to utilize an ac powrbank for a good 4hrs. I used to take my switch with the dock, ac power bank, and a minni projector and play in any space with a portable projector acreen. Now I can do the same, instead of a projector, with these new glasses.
Really awesome to hear that! Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure if the dock I mentioned in the last message would work with a switch, but it might work with the glasses if you get a different adapter. Thanks for the reply!
Its a very portable theater screen for your handheld devices. The AR features doesn't work for my Galaxy Fold 4. I'm happy with it, though.
Thanks for your comment! Please be sure to keep us posted on the status of Fold4 support!
I saw a different review that stated these are heavily in need of an update. But from me getting a Rokid, and wanting to switch between my Switch to Pc via the adapter, I'd say it's worth it as a wearable monitor. With my Rokid, I'd always use that for my video game while the other monitors are for random guides or other media I would prioritize watching while playing; I also do switch between my Switch and PC with the Rokid. So the upgrade I'd get is to go from a 120" to 200" visual, and to stop looking like the Terminator. The "VR" aspect of the glasses were something I haven't been real interested in.
If you already have the Rokid Airs I'm not sure this would be much of an upgrade at all, or even a sidegrade for that matter. Mind you I've not had hands on experience with the Rokid Airs, but from the specs sheets I've looked at they appear to be nearly identical.
You do get that change in "look" for sure, if you don't like that "cyperpunk" or "terminator" look as you described. I believe though that TCL is coming out with (or has recently launched) the NXTWEAR S glasses which are also very similar to the Nreals and Rokids but have removable/replaceable frames (just the lens parts) for a different look.
Thanks for your detailed comment!
Thank you for the response and the TCL glasses mentioning! Rokid Air does have 4k capability, but it's 1080p on PC by default and can't seem to make the screen wider or greater in the resolution after that. After further research, I have found that the Nreal would have the same problem. So I'm going to give NXTWEAR S a look.
Sorry for the late response, your comment didn't come up in the feed strangely. As far as I know, it's partly because of the fixed view that doesn't allow you to change (really anything). So for a switch, it's probably entirely up to how the Switch handles the device.
Have you found anything else or looked into the NSXTWEAR S? Supposedly TCL also have **another** set of glasses coming...
I would like in the future for companies to include a electromagnetizing lense. This would allow for shades to darken and lighten for “theatre” modes and be a better option for light transparency.
@@nullenski Oh 100%. The transition lenses would be next level. Thanks for your comment!
Could you use the steam deck with nreal glasses to do work, like editing documents and so on?
I don't see why not, assuming you're in desktop mode and you have the deck docked. It might be a little messy of a set up with all the dongles and cables, but I assume you can. Thanks for your comment!
@@gamers-generation Thanks for the reply, so would I need more than just the steam deck, dock and the nreal glasses?
@@GamePlayJourney sorry I might be misunderstanding. Are you planning to use the deck as a work laptop basically? Like say editing Word docs or Spreadsheets?
Has anyone tried using them without the nose clips, just letting them rest flush on the nose bridge?
Sorry I haven't tried this myself but I'm inclined to think that it might either slide from the weight, not fit properly, or just be unviewable. I'm saying this mainly because if you look at the device carefully, horizontal piece that goes across the back of the frame sticks out quite a bit, so I'm thinking it'll push against your forehead too much or not allow for suitable spacing in order to actually see the display. I will report back if I'm able to test it though.
Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for the review. Does screen mirroring on windows work with screen pinning in space?
Thanks for watching and also your comment! Screen mirroring/duplication works on Windows through a laptop with USB-C (as long as video out is supported); on a desktop, it'll depend on your GPU. In terms of screen pinning I assume you mean like head tracked to where you look which unfortunately does not work right now... doesn't mean it can't be implemented firmware/software update wise in the future though. Hope this helps!
@@gamers-generation well I don't think this form factor of the Air will ever support 6dof head tracking without cameras on it for inside-out tracking.
Do you think the next gen will be wireless?
I think we're a little early for that but it's a trade off right? If the next gen were wireless, we'd constantly be fighting for battery life, and then long term we would likely not even be able to replace the battery meaning the product would have a fixed lifetime. That's not to mention potential weight issues too... Thanks for your comment and question!
They have released beta firmware that corrects the FPS / refresh issue on steam deck.
Thanks for your comment! I did update to the latest version and am in the middle of testing for it. Thanks for the heads up!
This is an awesome piece of Tech!!! brotha, I bought and its amazing
I really hope you enjoy it fully! Thanks for your comment!
Have they fixed the refresh rate to go higher than 30hz? What is the max hz these can handle?
I haven't noticed any changes as I haven't seen any new update on my phone.
That could be what's leading to the odd behavior when played with the deck though... Also it's supposed to be 90hz according to Nreal. Thanks for your comment!
@@gamers-generation There is a fix for 63hz mode on steam deck you can apply on reddit. it requires setting admin password on desktop mode and then editing a system file. after that it works at 1080p 60fps in game mode. i use mine with a dual boot win10/steam os steam deck and the airs work great on both.
@@CMDR_Rrah Thanks for the comment! Can you explain the 63hz? Is that just an in-OS setting? Or is that an actual panel overclock of some kind?
make sure you set the steam deck's audio input to microphone, not nreal air, or there will be distortion. set output to nreal air.
super for students ;) 8 hours in school with this omg holidays :D
Ooh yeah imagine sitting in a college lecture, just watching YT... like a certain channel of YT ;). lol.
Thanks mate, appreciate a great review, you nailed it, I wonder what it would be like for Trading....
You mean trading stocks? If you have it connected to your phone it'll just mirror whatever you see, including if you use apps like Webull or TD thinkorswim. If you connect it to your laptop or desktop it can look like an extra monitor in your central vision -- so say you're using it with a laptop, you can use your laptop's screen with your lower/bottom vision, and then your central vision would be what's on the Nreals. Thanks for your comment and kind words!
@@gamers-generation Thanks for the feedback, much better idea how I would use it now with a Desktop mostly. I was debating these vs another monitor👍
@@troy2923 Happy to help! The great thing is about trying to get them now is Holiday return policy in case you change your mind!
The reason they look way better and sharper with no SDE, compared to the Q2 is the video content is 100% dedicated to the Nreal lenses. The Q2 resolution is spread out twice as much, so if watching a movie as example, it's actually lower resolution for the movie content, since also rendering the environment. I have a Q2 and no longer use it for video. I use the Nreal. Also, the app IMO uses too much device resources and lowers battery life. Best to not use the app, IMO and they are too delicate to jog with and not that water resistant. Sweat could mess it up.
Yup that makes sense given the Q2's much wider FOV. Great point! It's very easy to get thrown off or mislead by specs sheets these days especially when everything is marketed in ways favorable to the product/company. Thanks for your comment!
That depends in how you wish to view your content... AR or VR. Nothing wrong with Q2 media viewing, nothing at all and its better than watching a normal TV regardless the res.
@@stuart3712 Oh for sure. It's not as if the Q2 is bad per se. I also recently learned there is a way to get VR working on the Nreals, you just have to jump thro.ugh a few hoops. As for watching on a normal TV though, you'll probably have to clarify your statement, there are some pretty amazing TVs and monitors these days... just gotta pay. Hah. Thanks for the comment!
How are these for people with larger heads? :D
It's most likely a YMMV (your mileage may vary) type scenario in that case. From my rough measurements, the space between the glasses end to end is about 5.25" (or 13.3 cm) and back at the temples (legs of the glasses) you can spread them to around 6" (about 15.2 cm), I wouldn't personally go further than that for fear of damage.
Hope this helps, thanks for your comment!
Connect a Xbox controller to your Android phone. Install and sync SteamLink to your Steam on your gaming PC.
Connect the glasses and run SteamLink, Stream PC games to your phone and play on massive screen from anywhere in the world. I use this technique when I'm at work (only on a TV though.. I work night-shifts), I connect to the work wifi 500mbit/s fiber, 5ghz and stream from my gaming PC at home which is ethernetcabled to my router and is also on 500mbit/s fiber.
It should work both at home in LAN or WAN if you have good enough internet connections. I used to stream games like Dead Cells and Hades, precision games requiring fast reflexes and inputs. They worked perfectly with no input-lag.
This is interesting. Thanks for your comment! I may need to get a SteamLink to try this out.
Can these replace a gaming monitor?
Think about that: the projector is plenty big but since it's phisically very small (even though you are very close aswell) resolution shouldn't be an issue, because pixel density SHOULD be even higher than a typical 4k screen.
Basically, did you experience lack of details or aliasing?
This might be the cheapest way to get an oled monitor without selling a kidney.
Also, what's the exact resolution? you said 2x1080, therefore 3840*1080, so is this an ultra ultra wide or is this a 16:9? I think you can check that by looking at what resolution your game is set at.
The only issues might be refresh rate (I've read somewhere that you can unlock it by updating the firmware) and the lack of any type of variable refresh rate.
Also, how's motion blur and input lag on these? It's a pretty big deal for OLED compared to normal LCD.
And lastly, how's eye fatigue? Are they more fatiguing to use compared to a monitor?
Sorry for the too many questions.
By gaming monitor, do you mean a high refresh rate monitor with low response latency? If so, then I'm thinking no. Definitely not for competitive gaming. However, for casual gaming, especially for single player RPGs that don't rely on high frame rates, I absolutely think these (and other AR glasses of this style) are a nice alternative; especially if you live in a smaller space, or its difficult to wall mount a big screen etc.
With regards to a cheap OLED, those are coming down in price -- since there are more companies making them -- but OLED monitors have their own issues as well depending on the amount of ambient light in your viewing area, not to mention the burn-in.
For resolution, their specs indicate 1920x1080 per eye, so yes close to a 3840x1080 theoretically, even though I don't think that's how the math technically works as your eye's don't literally see double the pixels (this is likely a marketing ploy, just like how "4K" is actually 2160p, and not 4000p). The aspect ratio is 16:9 as far as I can tell. Since the FOV is limited, I don't think ultrawide viewing is technically supported -- at least not right now.
As for the refresh rate.. it's a strange thing -- I was playing Star Wars Squadrons the other day and noticed the FPS would bounce around between 45 and 90, 90 which is supposed to be the device's max refresh rate -- but 45 being half -- which is what I had been seeing in other games. So as I mentioned in the video, it doesn't seem like the FPS counter is accurately displaying the numbers at least not in my experience, but I could absolutely be off here.
In terms of motion blur, I usually turn it off in the games I play so I don't really notice it -- I have read people saying they've experienced ghosting issues but I haven't tried the UFO test on it or anything -- maybe in a follow up video. Input lag seems... fine? I don't have any equipment to actually test this, but I also don't play games competitively; unfortunately their website also doesn't give any of this information.
Last, I haven't suffered any eye fatigue but I have read some people reporting strain after an hour or so -- so it's probably one of those your mileage may vary (YMMV) cases.

I was looking for videos that are not sponsored by nreal to be sure that they are really that good since the contry where i live they are not available, so i would need to import them and returning would be difficult, but after I watched you video I'm convinced now, however I still have a doubt, my head is quite big, do you think that they would fit me?
Thanks for your comment! I just checked the distance between the glasses which is about 5.25" or 13.3cm, you can extend the temples (the legs of the glasses) and make them as wide as 6" or about 15.2cm; I wouldn't personally stretch them out further than that.
Also, I bought mine from eBay before they started selling in the US as well. If you live in a country near a seller you could still be covered by eBay Buyer Protection. Would that be possible?
@@gamers-generationThen they will fit well for sure, thank you so much, you video and now you comment helped me a lot. About buying them, I'm from Brazil so I not sure if eBay Buyer Protection is available, but ill look around to know better.
Happy to help! As far as I know eBay Buyer Protection is global, particularly through PayPal, but definitely look into that to see if it could be a viable option.
I don't got Deck but I want the glasses to watch movies mirrored from my phone Is the quality good to watch movies?
Most definitely yes! As long as what you're watching (from your phone) isn't low quality, I'm pretty confident the picture quality will look quite nice. Thanks for your comment!

You know it! In all seriousness, I'm looking into a more elegant solution -- my order hasn't arrived yet though so I can't comment further. Thanks for the comment!
It’s awesome technology but where I’m struggling is I just don’t see what’s wrong with using the screen that comes with the steam deck. It’s a lot of money and I’m not really sure what the consumer gains through using the glasses. Seems more of a gimmick than it seems useful. Maybe I’m missing something, I probably am!
Very understandable point. You can definitely argue it's a niche product. There might be more of a use case with just your smartphone and mirroring, even say mirroring Google Maps to navigate or check notifications.
Also for whatever reason there are some people who really dislike the Deck's screen -- and I get that it's not an OLED but... for what it can do and the price... it's pretty good especially after installing vibrant deck.
Thanks for your comment!
@@gamers-generation For me being able to sit on the couch with my autistic son while watching anything I want would be great. Always have to be carefull what to watch.. also having a big screen anywhere or while doing shit or in bed seems really cool. Dont have the glasses tho but really want them haha

Redmagic dock. Can charge and use nreal at the same time.
I just heard of this the other day, mine should be in the mail and I hope to do a comparison of a few adapters when it does come in. Thanks for your comment and suggestion!
So is this device compatible with windows?
If by compatible you mean it acts as a secondary monitor yes. I mention in the video that you can plug it into a device supporting video over USB-C (though I'm not 100% sure if it's thunderbolt related). In the case of a desktop, you'll need an HDMI or DisplayPort adapter of some kind if you have an Nvidia GPU, it might work with a Radeon 6000 series (those have USB-C) but I can't confirm the latter as I don't have a Radeon GPU. Thanks for your comment.
Hey, what didn't you like about dex on nreal?
Hi, thanks for your comment. I didn't like that there wasn't any navigation (using the phone as a "remote") the way you can in the Nreal Nebula app, so you have to still use your phone like a trackpad to navigate. You also can't rearrange windows like you can in the Nebula app, meaning everything is literally in your central vision if you turn your head from side to side -- whereas in the nebula app for example, you can have a window off to the left of your face which you only see when you look over to your left. You get used to it, so it is a user preference, but those were my issues with it and DeX.
@gamers-generation thank you for elaborating! Especially that the screen can't be static is quite a bummer... at first when I learned about these I assumed that was possible. Always being centered will probably make using keyboard way more uncomfortable...
@@tubag313 Happy to help! From what I have heard, there was a recent update that enabled the glasses on Windows though, so there *is* some new functionality now. I'll be covering that when I do a follow up video hopefully next month. Thanks for your quick response!.
@gamers-generation its not there yet but they announced it for the near future on GDC :) excited to see where the journey goes! Looking forward to more nreal videos on your channel!
@@tubag313 Thanks for the clarification! It really is exciting to see where this tech is going. Can you imagine if in a couple of years we get something liek the Nreals but with 70 degrees FOV AND have their own power source? I'm drooling just thinking about it!
100", but viewing from what distance? What's the point in having a 300" screen if you can only watch it from 50 feet away.
My mistake for not specifically stating, but I assumed a "typical" viewing distance of 10 or so feet away (that's an small/average sized living room for many homes I think).
I agree about viewing from 50' which is why I think the claim of "201" " is a bit misleading. If you sit at a desk, and your wall is 3' from you, the display isn't going to be 201" by any stretch of the imagination. Thanks for the comment!
That little pouch you used to hold the rat's nest brought me back XD. I remember spending that extra $200 to have a wireless Vive, spending an hour fiddling with setup and ultimately having my mind blown with first gen wireless VR.
Early adopter pain powers unite! It's crazy the lengths we'll go through to get these things "presentable" right? But it's indescribable to anyone who hasn't experienced it for themselves! Thanks for your comment!
Thx for the review, I find this video great but something about the music in the background was kinda stressing and it was a little distracting. I am not sure if it just me, but I wanted to notive you because it seems like you are just getting into RUclips.
Thanks for your comment and honest feedback. I'll look into reducing the volume of the BGM. I just figured no one wants to listen to my voice with no backtrack haha.
6 different playlists and different content on my channel are waiting for you. Stay tuned, don't miss new content!
Sure, thanks!
I wish the lenses were darker. I feel like it would look less goofy when others are looking at you, plus, easier to see the display while wearing them.
I can appreciate that sentiment lol. That's one area where I feel TCL NXTWear S **could** fix this issue with their interchangeable lenses... of course that is also meaningless if they only ever ship with 3 lenses and never produce more... Thanks for your comment!
@@gamers-generation for me, TCL's are not inconspicuous compared to nreal airs. I do however really like the magnetic features and oled fhd feature. But they look too big. Nreal is really onto something here. It just needs to be interchangeable lenses like you said and we need it to be hands free. Thanks for the review video!
@@mikehernandez1089 Do you mean the new NXTWear S's that haven't shipped yet? Or the NXTwear G's? If I'm not mistaken, all of these AR glasses use the same Sony projection technology... or some variation of it. so brightness levels, FOV, etc. should all be very similar.
In terms of the magnetic charger I'm a little on the fence about that since... you're SOL if that cable goes bad. As for hands-free, in theory the Nreal Light should be able to do that, since it has cameras, but those look... bad haha.
Thanks for your support!
Does the battery life of the steam deck change much when using the glasses with it?
I didn't personally notice much of a difference, but truthfully I wasn't measuring the battery drain. The deck does automatically shutoff its display though so that's why I'm thinking it's relatively the same -- I played Spider-Man for about 2.5hrs (locked FPS at 40) and it consumed about 70% battery. In a follow up video I hope to have more accurate measurements. Thanks for your comment!
@@gamers-generation Looking forward to more testing of this pairing! Subscribed!
How is this any different than the Sony flops of the 90's and 2000's of projection tv's in glasses?
I don't have personal experience with those so you'll forgive me for asking you to elaborate. Based on what I do know about Sony's proprietary technology though (Betamax, Blu-ray) I will say there are already competitors in this space so that's a good thing in that more consumers can (theoretically) be reached.
@@gamers-generation Sony's HMZ-T2 from a decade ago, for example. I would post links but RUclips has been banning people for that.
@@HalkerVeil Thanks again for your comment and detailed response. I looked these up and unfortunately I don't know much about them but I'll say you bring up a valid point. As far as I know, these Nreal glasses (and likely their competitors) are using some kind of Sony projection technology, so perhaps those HMDs were the precursors that Sony just decided to sell licenses/patents for rather than produce in-house. Without speculating too much though, there's always a risk of abandonment with new technology but FWIW I'll say subjectively that I think AR glasses (including the Nreal competitors) do have real use-applications right now.
if they support SbS (side by side) stereoscopic 3D, it's technically possible to use them for VR, with finicky, obscure amd often outdated software, tweaking drivers, etc.
but you might as well just get a quest 2, and save yourself the trouble.
Exactly this, or a Pico 4 for that matter... sadly PCVR just isn't at the level of accessibility/ease of use it needs to be for more widespread adoption. Thanks for your comment!
Nreal has a similar but different model with 6dof AR and 3d support
@@complimentaryrandomnessinc3137 Yup, you're right! The Nreal Light. But I believe those glasses are typically around $600 or more which I'm not convinced is worth it.
wait you can use these for steamdeck?!
That's right, you can! To be fair, I'm pretty sure you can use competitors too like the Rokid Airs, and the upcoming TCL NXTwear S (boy that's a mouthful) but those I've not had first hand experience with. Thanks for your comment!
Should note that these do not work with any Pixel phones as Pixel phones to not output video.
Yeah there's a compatibility list provided by Nreal in the description. I don't manage or make that list so I have no control over it.
The future of the TV industry here. Still a ways to go before I get rid of my TV but you'd be foolish to think this won't be the direction manufacturers will go. It's just too convenient, easy to use for a variety of use-cases and a lot cheaper even if you have multiple people potentially wanting to watch TV.
Thanks for your comment! I agree, once they increase FOV, get the price down a bit... I think there's real possibility for that kind of replacement.
Ugh I want some so badly. And a steam deck too ofc. Can it use steamVR at all? I'd love to get in VRChat in controller mode sometime.
Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately I don't think so. Based on my research, it's a bit complicated to get SteamVR working on the deck, and if you could, it probably couldn't run many titles well -- that's not even mentioning the limited ability the Nreals would have. Strangely VRchat IS listed as Steam Deck Verified... I've never tried though.
@@gamers-generation I own a Vive Cosmos elite, Vive pro 2, and an Oculus DK2. The last one confirmed works on linux but has no touch controllers, and OVR Space Calibrator doesn't have a Linux version afaik so idk what I will have to do there. If I would've bought a valve index instead of a VP2 I would probably get a steamdeck too just to try it out with- any game that's optimized enough to run on a quest 2 should run just fine on deck with lower settings i feel, this would just be a way more convenient form factor.
@@fenixlolnope361 I assume there's real possibility that you can get theatre mode (for games that support it) to run on these and/or one of your VR headsets, but I still don't think the Deck has enough horsepower to really run anything intensive. If you're looking for a device *like* the deck which is a UMPC though there are a few AMD R7 6800U devices that may be able to run a few VR titles, and I assume they can run alot more when you connect an eGPU. Mind you they're quite pricey though.
@@gamers-generation I think you underestimate your deck! My cosmos elite can play most games at 90fps on my vega56 with *reasonable* quality settings, even crazy VRchat worlds. Do you really think my vega56 is that much faster than the GPU in the steamdeck??? I feel like when I see people playing games on their steamdeck they're running smoother than the vega, I wish I had a better card to pass through xD If anything maybe you could try likee an original HTC vive or an original vive pro or something on the steam deck? It would be really convenient to have the steamdeck on your chest, connected to the headset with a short tether and a small battery pack powering the linkbox.. My VP2? Yeah I'm never trying that with a steamdeck, my main gaming box/VR box/streaming machine has an RX6700xt and I can't run VRchat at 120hz mode.. games like boneworks, bonelab, alyx run fine but any time someone shows up with a model that's like 80k polygons instant lag instant motion sickness >.> so it has to stick to 90hz for that gamee. My VP2 is a 5K headset.. But a valve index, VP1, vive cosmos, Rift S,- these headsets are basically 1440p, which isn't as hard to do as everyone things if you're willing to play on medium/low :)
OFC a rift S does NOT run on linux and neither does VP2. When someone gets it working it'll be great but I'm not counting on it.. original vive does work, and the steamdeck could definitely push it- it's only 1920x1200 iirc. You can use index controllers instead of meme wands too.. do have to use V1 base stations though.. finding a 12v battery pack shouldn't be that hard either.. I think it's 12v anyways??? Idk I'mma pick up a headset only vive if i ever get a steamdeck for ths purpose xD
When this stuff gets reduced to a reliable dongle so the glasses are cable free, I will start to consider
A reasonable conclusion. The only issues I foresee with that is 1) poor battery life and/or increased weight and 2) non-replaceable battery. When VR/MR headsets are able to utilize smaller high efficiency batteries, we'll probably see them thrown into things like these glasses. Thanks for your comment!
I am watching this review on my Nreal Air. I love these glasses! This was the best purchase I have made since the iPhone . Buy them, u won't be sorry!

@@riverstreamsss You just described how I play my Steam Deck! Thanks for the comment!
I actually just ordered these like 3 hours ago. I plan primarily to use it with my phone to act as a kind of heads-up display when biking, maybe with like a trail map or Google Maps or something displayed. I also work from home and plan to try it out with my work laptop, that supports USBC video. If it's plug and play it should work, but if not I don't think I'll push my luck with the IT department about driver installation lol. Government contracts...they aren't too keen on people plugging unapproved devices in.
Awesome! Hope you enjoy them! Just make sure to either plug them into your phone or laptop first and go through the Nreal website to activate/update firmware. You don't need to use the Nebula app but you need to first initialize them through one of those methods (I recently learned this).
I can appreciate the need for privacy and data protection though. Keep me posted on how you like them! Thanks for your comment~
@@gamers-generation Oh yeah I'm going to try all kinds of different things. Since the glasses draw power from the phone, I'm going to see if I can rubber band an induction charging pad to the phone, and plug that pad into an external battery. My hope is that will keep the phone charged, while keeping the USBC port free for the glasses.
@@adamb89 That sounds interesting albeit... potentially concerning thermally. I'll be very curious to learn about your findings.
As for charging while using the glasses, I have found an adapter which I've linked in the description and plan to do a short follow up videos dedicated to adapters and using them with the glasses/steam deck.
Thanks again for your detailed comment!
@@gamers-generation Haha I hope I remember to come back here in 3 weeks after it arrives and I've had a good chance to put it through the paces!!
I'm not concerned about the heat though because I've done a similar thing with Dex. Leave it on the charging pad to stay juiced, and hook it up to a monitor with an HDMI/USBC cable, run the apps with bluetooth kb/m. Works fine there, so the kicker is if the external battery is able to put out enough juice to run the pad. Because when I use Dex, the pad is drawing power from an outlet.
Anyway, if I remember, I'll come back here and let ya know how it turned out.

Hi, thanks for your comment! It does look around 100" or so, I have a 55" TV and it looks about double the size. Definitely doesn't look small.
If they come down to £250 then i will grab a pair, but until then they are just too costly at their present price.
A very fair and reasonable choice. I'd definitely say they're both niche and luxury right now. Thanks for your comment!
it’s more like a projector inside the glasses lol
You can definitely look at it that way, since I believe technically it is Sony projection technology in there.

@@joshuadouglas7625 men of culture no doubt research but only the finest of topics. 🙈
Stuff like this is baffling to me, at least applied like this. Like I would like some people AR glasses with actual useful functions, but dropping $350 just to use a portable device more like a home device?
I mean... "useful" is subjective in a way but would you still feel the same if the price was $250? That's where the bigger question lies I think, 'cause if it's just price then it can have utility -- especially outside of the home, i.e., while commuting. But if you're looking for something to use while specifically say driving or walking then... that's different right?
Do you know how much a monitor these sizes would cost?
Can you bring it with you?
Can you take it with you on a bike or plane?
Come on man. Plenty of uses. You're just cheap or broke
Nothing like 3d glasses for a 2d experience
Hahaha... I mean to be fair they're not advertised as 3D... but... also, anyone marketing with "3D" in it is probably losing money just adding that to the name...
This would be great for vanlife. Where room and power reserves are limited
You know what.. that never even occurred to me... that's pretty brilliant! Thanks for your comment!
Why do people keep mentioning Apple connectivity like it's REALLY important? Just one Android manufacturer ALONE, Samsung, sells more phones than Apple. And that's just one. It's one maker in a market of HUNDREDS of Android phone makers. The iPraud is less than 5% of the market! Bringing up Apple connectivity is like mentioning there's no Linux version. Seriously, who cares??
I get your point as an android user myself but like it or not there are a ton of iOS users, and until Apple conforms to industry standards like USB-C (which should be shortly though on their iPhones) we (end users) have to put up with proprietary or non-standard methods of use cases.
Thanks for your comment!
While it’s true in sheer number there are way more android devices sold, you have to also factor in the cheap low power devices out there. Not every android is flag ship. Meanwhile for apple devices their chips are generally very capable. And I feel like most people I know have an iPhone instead of android
Absolutely great points SoftKleenex!
Yeah and 90% of those are shit phones, paper weights.
Reviewers of this device seem to omit the fact that you can't have 3 or more floating screens on Windows 10 because they don't have a Windows "Nebula App" to do that. So all it ends up being is a larger screen floating in the air. Same goes for iPhone/iOS use. Really these headsets are only designed for Android devices because that is where you get the full intended experience. You only get a partial experience if you plugin to Windows 10 laptop or an iPhone. You get just one big screen on PC or iOS but when you run the Nebula app on an Android device, you can have multiple floating screens like a triple monitor setup. This is keeping me from buying these as I was really hoping there was at least some development for Windows/iOS devices but there isn't. In fact none of these thin AR glasses give you triple monitors or more on any other operating system other than Android.
Thanks for your comment. While I didn't explicitly state that there isn't a Nebula App for Desktop (I've reached out to them for more information) I don't think I omitted the limited functionality per se, as I said that the display is limited to your central vision, this is true regardless of what device you're using. Yes, you're correct that none of these AR glasses give you the triple monitor setup, you'd likely need something with greater FOV for that (seems like that tech isn't ready yet).
At the same time, anything other than say a Quest 2 or Pico 4 is going to cost you more than $400 for a triple monitor set up... even three monitors. Just to be clear though I'm not endorsing the product over 3 monitors or a VR headset just because it's "cheaper" though.
Sounds like a personal problem lmao. Apple sold you on their closed ecosystem.
You paid for this

But... what if it's already over??? *shifty eyes*
I bought a set of Rokid Air, which is a very similar deal; I like that the Rokid has a diopter setting so most people won't need to worry about prescriptions. Granted, the Rokids don't look as good. But hey, I don't have to look at myself when using them... It's a really cool way to get a big image, especially on the go. My primary use is off my phone - Motorola has the "Ready For" system that works with external screens, so the phone can do full screen desktop, full screen games (with a Bluetooth controller in that case) and full screen video. A lot of fun. Oh, and Geforce Now counts as a game for this, so plug in, start up the controller, and play any supported Steam game on your phone.
Thanks for your comment! From the specs page and reviews I've seen, the diopters were the only thing I could see that were a big difference. Is it true the diopter setting isn't accurate? I read a review that said it's doesn't actually go -5.0, but up to only -2.0 or so.
Very interesting point about using it with GeforceNow!
@@gamers-generation Not really sure how far the diopter settings go on the Rokid to be honest, they can at least more or less handle my short-sighted vision fairly well which works for me.They don't come with a blackout option though which is a major oversight for Rokid; I've 3D-printed one and will be putting that on there with double-sided tape but that does lack a certain elegance...

Privacy concerns are definitely worth noting. I plan to do a follow up with a bit more information to that regard. I have tested the mirroring function though and no permissions or app is neeeded for that as another commentor had pointed out. I've also reached out to support to request more information on the "necessary data". Thanks for your comment.
Mentioning "screen size" without spevific viewing distance of better still horizontal angle means nothing much.
Newsflash screens look like 23" monitor on a regular desk.
Perhaps you need to check your autocorrect... not to mention, I specifically talk about the dimensions despite not being able to give true physical dimensions...
Try watching AND listening
Clearly, you don't comprehend "field of view". Just like a television, the image projected is the shape of a rectangle. If you say the "rectangle" needs to fill the viewing area of a viewing area that is Oval/Round, please explain how that could be achieved and how would it look to the eyes?
Uh... where did I say "the "rectangle" needs to fill the viewing area of a viewing area that is Oval/Round". To clarify, the FOV is in the specs sheet of the device itself, which is listed as 46 degrees, with 49 PPD (pixels per degree). These are not my definitions.

Maybe because they can use them (or more likely a successor) as a HUD to track their route, progress, or what have you. People have been using these for navigation while driving too... which would surely be more dangerous.
NOT AR glasses. No spatial awareness and/or spatial positioning = not AR
If by the DoF, there technically is spatial awareness (3 DOF), just not in the mirror/monitor mode. It works in the AR Space option of the Nebula App. Thanks for the comment!
@@gamers-generation nothing to do with dof. Please educate yourself on what AR *is*.
@@DocHogan Perhaps you can look up the definition as well. And please do realize that these aren't MY glasses, the "AR glasses" are in the literal product name. Thanks for your comment either way.
@@gamers-generation AR requires that they either be able to act upon external real world information, or to present information relative to the real world. These do neither. Nreal Light, Microsoft Hololoens, etc = AR. Nreal Air, Rokid Air, *not* AR.
I realize that Nreal and Rokid are misleading the gullible public with misinformative product names. If you are a content creator attempting to educate your viewers with accurate information, don’t perpetuate their marketing department misinformation, put them on blast for it.
@@DocHogan I see what you're trying to say but I think there's also a misunderstanding. I agree with what you mean about interacting with the real world, and they are definitely playing with definitions but perhaps you are simply looking for more of an MR experience which to your point is pretty limited on the Nreals, at least right now.
It's nothing personal but I don't believe you've used thrm much. sounds like you are reading from nreals scripts. we can hear you pausing at some point in time to read the words. nreal has been paying off a lot of these reviews. if they only spent more time developing software instead of paying off all these reviewers for a good review, maybe people would like it a little bit better
You're absolutely entitled to your own opinion. The pausing you're hearing is because of editing. The script was 100% written by myself, and that's why it sounds scripted -- 'cause it was scripted -- by myself. I've used them for approximately 25-30 hours or so, and as I mentioned in my video -- I paid for them with my own money.

@@sahmus Your criticism is valid, though this wasn't a comparison video to any of the other AR glasses, mainly 'cause I don't have the others. That said, I think I did go over what you can use it for? Primarily media consumption and/or gaming with a Steam Deck -- I don't often base my reviews solely on my own opinion or else I will do my best to state as such. Otherwise the review is just an opinion piece. Thanks again for your comments though!
when you said metaverse i could not take the rest of the video seriously and i skipped the video.
Aw well... that was one of maybe two bad jokes in the video (I think)... hope you'll come back and give it another chance. Thanks for the comment either way.
Get over yourself
Why do stupid people do reviews? What are the applications for smart glasses? Can you read docs with it? can you navigate hyperlinks with it? what applications aren't suitable for it?
What a lovely comment. Perhaps you could look up the documentation yourself. I mention specifically in the video that there is limited functionality to it. If you don't know what screen mirroring is... well.. you might need to look that up too.
You are tech illiterate and calling others stupid.
It screen mirrors you dufus. Of course it can click a hyperlink.
Why do non techy people open there mouth to make comments?
Thank you for this video!
