Much to my surprise, it didn’t take long at all to get used to working while wearing AR glasses.
Could you see yourself spending a full day working with smart glasses instead of using a monitor?
For me at least, that “HMD all day” is the limiting factor. I don’t want to wear an HMD all day. My experience has been that they’re sensitive to being slightly misaligned and going blurry. Traditional displays are nice and crisp.
I think that to be something that I’d want to use, the thing would need to do something like mechanically move the display to keep it at a very precise, calibrated position relative to my eyeball, so that I don’t need to futz with not having my movements slightly misalign the HMD.
In 2025, we don’t have an HMD that can do that.
EDIT: Also, this doesn’t matter much if you’re watching a movie or something. Not visible then. But it’s a visible issue if you’re working with text or the like, if you want to full-on replace your display.
The quest 3 stays sharp when alignment changes, its surprisingly nice to work in outside of the brick on my face. I would hope the xreal glasses can match quest 3 clarity
