(I'm trying a pair out. They are on Amazon for $379 and extended returns during Christmas...)
It feels like a wall height screen about 8-10 feet in front of you. Perhaps a little bigger would be good, but it isn't that too small.
The resolution of 1920x1080 is ok. I wish it was higher. And it doesn't support AR monitors (the 1920x1080 in the glasses a mirror of the iPad - except for blink .. - the demos for android are much nicer with AR windows places in physical space)
The setup I'm testing:
- nreal 1920x1080 nreal air
- usb-c plugged into an ipad mini + cellular
- tailscale allows me to remote into my desktop computer
- with bluetooth keyboard and mouse
- and then blink app to tmux (or perhaps vscode - I haven't tried it yet)
I've only been testing a couple days.
It feels much better than my experiments with Quest2 VR desktop. And when I am able to just work within a single app (blink, safari, ...) it is a good experience. My biggest struggle is iPad os - inconsistent keyboard shortcuts even in apple applications.
I'd like to try a tiny raspberry pi like device that allows remote-ssh vscode + remote tmux + streaming chrome (vnc or perhaps https://www.mightyapp.com) - but the hardware needs to support USB-C Display Port.
Perhaps a DIY powered by Framework mainboard...

Overall, it is still promising and I'm going to keep trying until end of January - to see if this is a good to take anywhere to code/dev/mosh. For a V1 of this experience it exceeds expectations (and is much better than quest2 for me)
