XREAL One Pros by leaps and bounds

I have one! It’s huge haha.

I’m still trying to figure out how to fit a full trackball in there…

It’s a good middle of the road keyboard honestly. The only part that truly sucks is the arrow keys layout.

My bad. It’s as good as any 1080p monitor and it supports 120hz refresh rate. The FOV will be the thing that gets to you.

Big fan of big screen. Darshan is probably the most level headed founder in all of XR.

No more than any other XR product. I can do the work I need to from it for the most part.

Most of the iteration process was just me staring at the printer waiting for it to screw up or to find out if I screwed up.

Yeah by the time I saw how over used it is it was too late.

I’ve seen a few folks on r/localllama running small models on it! It’s a powerful little machine.

Totally agree. I’m doing the due diligence to see if I can turn this into a real product. It’s gotten enough attention to give it some serious thought as a small batch product.

If I do, it would be with a custom board which would help shave down the size more considerably.

Out here trying to steal my thunder. Not today (or yesterday) sir!

But seriously appreciate the enthusiasm to share it. This was meant to be a small side project for myself and it blew up. Glad other people are getting a kick out of it.

It’s quite good! I have not the one’s and the one pros. The pros are a pretty noticeable leap in clarity and FOV in my experience, and the screen is as readable as any other 1080p monitor.

It’s definitely easier but I dunno about better. A beheaded computer is not as pretty in my totally unbiased opinion.

Yeah I'm learning that's the real hurdle. I'm doing my best to lean on others in the space to guide me through the process.

a lot of supply chain appears to be a relationship based economy. I may end up flying out to China at some point.

ayyy let's chat! open an issue on the repo to track it. I have some modules I've already designed.

Edit: lol didn't see the user name and thought you meant you're also working on the module system face palm
