    It started with stories being told from generation to generation. Was a little changed during the journey when the imagination had to replace the memory. Then a text was printed and copied by hand. Could happen that the stories were garbled a little. The art of printing (no Gutenberg was only first in Europe) could then make exact copies of the original text. The reader then filled in with their imagination and stories played out for the reader’s mind. The cinema came, now the inner vision was served. TV, computer, mobile and tablets. The cinema moved into the home and then into the pocket. People still read as they want to paint the picture for themselves in their mind of what the history looks like. Wonder what VR will bring us if everyone starts using it? I myself was the first to order the prototype of the Oculus Rift (I longed for it every day for half a year), but after that the interest in VR has declined even though the technology has progressed.

    I wish I could have a cup of tea and talk with Chi Xu! But before that happens, I’ll probably need to work a lot more, to be noticed by Chi Xu. Exciting times we live in! ^^

    These seems a bit closer to a daily usable screen. I like the focus on productivity with multiple windows anchored in 3D space.

    Too many minor issues add up though: bulky and heavy, narrow field of view, lower res at 1080p, tethered use, limited to no 3D AR, and more makes this barely worth the effort (and $$).

    Like Xu repeatedly says in the attached CNET article, we still have 5 and more likely 10 years to wait for truly elegant and usable glasses at affordable price.

      1080p is a huge bummer, i think we’re waiting for Sony or some oled company to catch up and develop a screen that can cram as much pixel as possible in a 1″ or so screen

    This is just an ad for Xreal without you doing any kind of review or pushing what the quality of these actually are. It looks like you had the chance to try them, but you just ask a bunch of leading questions for this to be a free promotion. These are an interesting piece of tech and this video does nothing to help us understand if these new $500/$600 versions are worth it.

    Apple should buy Xreal ! This would be a far better investment than beats !

    I am looking for AR glasses that have a camera, mic, speakers and a screen that can be locked in the upper or lower portion of view and display a see through screen to view information such as directions or arrows, speed, translate languages and work as a teleprompter. The use of AI included in such a device would be even better and I don’t care if it needs to be tethered or not for both power and compute power. The immersive huge screen is less important as is having a screen for both eyes. Nice but not critical. I think we are on the cusp of AR glasses replacing or greatly augmenting the smart phone to provide a true hands free engagement with the world and heads up not head down and both hands occupied like it is now.

    Can it really be worn over prescription glasses? I saw a few scenes where the host appears to be wearing eyeglasses under the XReal and I’m wondering how the experience is.

    im pretty impress that xreal made a chip just for this space… is this normal or do most company get off the shelf chips and program the 3DoF?

    They desperately need to develop a slider, for those of us with non-chinese wide IPDs. They have wasted money with me having to return them, because of non adjustable IPDs like a VR headset or the Goovis

    And before someone says ‘viture’. No. Those are DIOPTERS, NOT iPD adjustments

    • @tatsumaru12345

      December 4, 2024 at 9:18 pm

      Watching Adam savages tested video!

      Apparently there is going to be 2 models. Narrow and wide IPD. Plus! A software option that is supposed to help.

      And! The screen size adjustment is built right in these

      My interest just hugely jumped because of his video

      Although they claim that ipd is the problem, i’ve tested the previous version also my friends tested it but we all agree that all sides are blurry, not two. If the ipd is a problem only two sides should be blurry, one for per eye. And the problem is they don’t accept this problem and none of the reviewers mention about it or they say i didn’t see it to make you believe that only you have this problem. I would say i will wait for the 4k models but this reflective lens is not good enough even for 1080p, there are bubble effects here and there. But if you have money to spend that much just for watching movies and gaming at 1080p and lower res with this integrated pinned screen, these are all good products.

    When you pin the screen and you move your head fwd and back will it stay put? Or is it only side to side ?

    • @KOLOURplus

      December 4, 2024 at 11:11 pm

      From my understanding it’s only 3Dof which means side to side movements. For it to have forward and back movements it would need a camera or sensor to understand where it is in the space.

  17. @AndrewHelgeCox

    December 4, 2024 at 10:08 pm

    Does the stereo 3d side by side mode support a full 3840×1080 video signal?

  18. @VHSGreg

    December 4, 2024 at 11:03 pm

    How stable is the pin to space feature? I opted for a pair of Viture One because they natively support spatial media but their pin to space feature feels like a gimmicky after thought. Hopefully updates to the software addresses this with more improvements and enhancements.

    As an Air owner, I feel like Xreal is focusing on the wrong priorities. What keeps me coming back to these glasses over my Quest 2, which is gathering dust in a corner, is the ability to use them as a portable display for gaming on my Steam Deck or streaming Netflix on my phone. Xreal should really lean into its strengths by enhancing the features people are using most—such as improving the display experience (wider FOV, higher resolution, faster refresh rate) and overall usability (smaller form factor, wireless functionality via a battery pack headstrap with WiFi 7, etc.). Competing with Meta and Apple on software seems like a distraction, especially since I, and likely many others, don’t prioritize or use those features.

    • @jacobcook245

      December 5, 2024 at 11:18 am

      The XREAL One Pro has a 57° FOV.

      There is no battery maybe airpod thing could work

    $600 is cheap? news to me
    that’s more than an iPad pro but most less useful

    Will definitely not buy this Chinese tech that collects a crazy amount of your biometric data and can weaponize that against you in targeted campaigning and advertising to polarize Western politics.

    I currently have the Virtue Pros and was debating on getting the pro versions of these? Does the screen appear larger than the virtue pros? Would you recommend it for someone that has a pair of AR glasses already?

  25. @5T0Px

    These tech have no future. why they waste their time with cable tech and no waveguide. Laser micro and nano led projector and waveguide is the future and build in battery and chip. Tcl do better and soon samsung and meta
