Over the past month, these AR glasses have proven to be more versatile and useful than I initially anticipated, effectively integrating into my daily routine and offering a fresh perspective on my digital interactions.
Usability: The glasses have become a convenient companion during light walks and for watching YouTube videos, offering an immersive, mobile experience. Coupled with the screen scaling option on my Steam Deck, they've truly shined.
Productivity: Although the lack of a fixed workspace presents certain challenges, for video consumption, these glasses excel and offer a unique viewing experience.
Battery Life: A full charge provides around 2-3 hours of use. For uninterrupted enjoyment, I recommend keeping your devices fully charged.
Innovation: Despite some initial hiccups, these glasses represent a fascinating first step in AR technology. They've reshaped how I interact with my digital environment, hinting at the potential future of this technology.
A significant shift in my user experience occurred when I decided to remove the light blockers. Initially, they caused nausea and felt uncomfortable. However, when removed, the device transitioned into a more traditional AR setting, allowing clear visibility of my surroundings. This change proved to be much easier on both my eyes and mind, enhancing my overall user experience.
In light of these experiences and the flexibility of the device to cater to different user preferences, I am upgrading my rating from 3 stars to 4. Despite a few early-stage quirks, the AR glasses have made a positive impression and left me excited about the future of AR technology.
Pros:
Impressive text clarity, surpassing many VR devices
Comfortable to wear with minimal fatigue after extended use
Smooth experience with Netflix, YouTube, and similar content
Compatibility with various platforms including Samsung Dex, iPad, and Mac
Cons:
Static screen moves with every tilt of the head, hampering productivity tasks
Issues with YouTube TV on iPad
Inconsistent experience across different platforms
Noticeable circular fringe on lenses caused by light prisms
Goggles' cover is smaller than the actual glasses, making it a tight fit
Lack of critical reviews on platforms like YouTube
The NREAL Air goggles, while promising, present a mixed bag of experiences. They have some commendable features, but there are several areas where they fall short of expectations.
Starting with the positives, the text clarity is impressive, surpassing many VR devices I've used. This makes it a decent choice for movie viewing. The comfort of wearing the goggles is also noteworthy. I didn't experience much fatigue even after extended use, which is a significant plus. Watching Netflix, YouTube, and other similar content was a smooth experience, adding to the device's appeal.
However, the static screen that moves with every tilt of your head can be disconcerting. This feature, while tolerable for movies, hampers productivity tasks like working on Excel or Word documents. I also encountered issues with the goggles working with YouTube TV on an iPad, which was a letdown.
The device's compatibility with various platforms is a plus, but the experience is inconsistent. It worked well with my Samsung phone and Samsung Dex, and even with an iPad, though I encountered some HDCP issues that prevented video playback on the goggles. The Nebula app for Mac was the best fit, but the 16:9 aspect ratio limited its usability. Unfortunately, the PC experience was limited due to the lack of a Nebula app, resulting in a locked location. As for the Steamdeck, the experience varied depending on the game. Some games felt jarring and uncomfortable, detracting from the overall enjoyment. However, other games were quite enjoyable, making the experience a mixed bag.
The quality of the lenses is satisfactory, but there's a noticeable circular fringe caused by light prisms, which can be distracting, especially when viewing bright content. This issue seems inherent to the lens design and is unlikely to be fixable via software updates.
The goggles' cover is another area of concern. It's smaller than the actual glasses, making it a tight fit. I found the device more comfortable and immersive without the cover, despite the resultant washed-out picture and screen reflections.
In conclusion, the NREAL Air has potential but falls short in its current iteration. It's not as productive as I had hoped, and the screen lock to head movement can be problematic. It needs significant improvements, perhaps in a second or third generation, to truly shine. For now, I remain on the fence about this product.
Samsung Note 8 is NOT is the list of supported phones, but I tried to install the Nebula app through the play store anyway.
It took over 3 tries to get the Nebula app to install on my Samsung Note 8. I'm not sure if it was a phone space issue as I had over 1GB free, but after removing some apps and trying to reinstall twice, I was pleasantly surprised when it managed to install.
I'm not sure if I needed the app as connecting the glasses to the Note 8 was recognized by the Samsung. I think this is because Samsung Note 8 has support for Samsung DEX. And it work well with the glasses. I now have a fuller desktop experience from my phone without a monitor. I never used Samsung DEX until I got the glasses. The phone can be used as a track pad, but some juggling is required if you need to type with the phone as you'll need to move the glass or look below or above the glasses to see what you're typing.
The other mode that worked for me was mirroring the phone screen on the glasses. This works on the Note 8 app also without the Nebula app but the app maybe needed for other phone that do not have native support. The AR feature on the Nebula app was disabled on app but Casting feature was enabled. The casting feature seems to work like the native Note 8 screen share, so I don't have a use for the app on the Note 8.
The Screen
The screen is gorgeous as OLED technology is great for rich colors and dark blacks. Better experience than most monitor not factoring the lower resolution of the glasses. The resolution is just good enough. Any lower I think I would have issues as I do think a 1920x1080 screen is the lowest resolution I would comfortably use for a device.
Nebula App on the Mac.
The Mac M1 App is still in beta as of 12/6/2022 (time of this review).
I was really nicely surprised when this worked. I thought since the AR feature on the Nebula phone app was disabled, I would not be able to experience this, but it works on the Mac M1 app.
I think there's a gyroscope that can detect when I'm looking straight vs when my headed is turned. The application allows three screens to be created (there's an option for 2 screens also). For the three screens, can put an application in front of me and two to the side that I can turn my head to glance at. I think this would be good for portable multiscreen setup without carrying additional monitors.
Sometimes, the app doesn't work and there's some tinkering to get it to work. But once working, it seems to be stable enough for me to use it in the future.
Also videos from Amazon Prime did not display in the Nebula app but worked outside of it. I could get multiple youtube streams to play but not sure if that's of much use. I think the Nebula app acts as a intermediary layer to create the multiple screens and maybe Amazon's content protection can't get past it. I'm not sure.
Single screen setup where the glasses is an mirroring or extending the MAC display without the Nebula seems to work fine.
Chromebooks and Laptops
I tried the glasses on 2 Chromebook and 2 laptops.
I have a higher end 4K Chromebook that supports a 4K screen and the glasses works well with it and displays in the glasses' full HD resolution.
I have another lower end 1388x768 Chromebook and the glasses works, but only displays at 1388x768. This is a limitation on the Chromebook video hardware or driver.
I have a Asus Zephyrus ZG14 gaming laptop a couple of years old with a RTX 2080 video card and the glasses work with that laptop. I don't think there's a windows Nebula app. Playing games on the glasses is doable. I only tried Cyberpunk 2077 and Flight Simulator 2020.
The Cyberpunk 2077 worked fine but I'm not really gamer. I just ran it to see how the game would run on the glasses. There's no Nebula App on windows (I don't believe) but it would be amazing for Flight Sim to work with he glasses with 3 screens. With just one screen, flight sim works fine as the glasses is just another monitor.
There's one odd experience with the glasses however, when the plane is turning, I typically tilt my head to keep my view aligned with the ground. This work for a fixed monitor, but the glasses turn with your head. This was disorienting and make flight sim not so useable with the glasses.
For the above, 3 I just connected the cable just connects USB-C to the USB-C port on the laptops. No HDMI cable needed. I think the USB-C port needs to have display capability.
My work laptop should have worked with the glasses but connecting the glasses did nothing. It's a later model laptop also with full USB-C charging and supports 2 external monitors at work. I'm able to use a graphics tablet/display with the usb-c port so I'm not sure why the glasses would not work with the laptop.
I think another good use of the glasses is for drone piloting, but I'm not sure if this will work unless your setup has a separate HDMI setup. The usb-c plug of the drone controller is connected to the phone so there's not a way to connect the glasses to the phone for the HDMI out. There is an adapter for iPhones, but I'm not sure if this would work with my setup.
Hope this helps someone looking into getting these glasses.
Good enough me for to keep.
Top reviews from other countries
Before launching into the review, I should be clear about my use case: I was looking for a small portable monitor that I could use for work an entertainment when I'm traveling instead of a small screen.
Packaging and in-the-hand - The XReal comes in a small box that contains the glasses, cable, and nose pieces in what is roughly the size of a large sunglasses case. Portability is definitely there! The packaging is classy and professional, and so are the glasses and cable in the hand. They feel (and look) solid, and well made. Buttons on the glasses are responses and the cover accessory snaps on firmly. Grade: A
Plugging in for screen mirroring - The glasses work with both my laptops, my samsung tablet and my Sony 5 iv (it is not on compatibility list, but it does work). You can use all these devices without touching Nebula to mirror your screen and it just works - plug it in and you're away - mostly. I have noticed on my phone that netflix appears to only play downloaded titles, not titles streaming. I assume this is a DRM restriction of some type; I have not experimented with other streaming apps yet. Grade: B+
Plugging in with the app - Nebula sucks, I'm sorry to say, it just sucks. The idea of being able to control/shift the screen is great, but it promises more than it delivers because a) it has no apps beyond YouTube that you would ever use, and b) many streaming and other services will not work in the Nebula browser. I'm also a bit iffy on routing, for example, my email and especially my work office 365 through a browser from a vendor I don't really know much about. So you can't stream in the Nebula app, at least not with anything I tried, and I'm not comfortable doing anything else in the browser. I don't know what the answer is here, or if there is an answer. What would be ideal is be if Nebula functioned almost like a launcher that transformed my android homescreens, but still ran the actual apps, but it just doesn't work that way. It's a bummer, and I think it's something that puts a lot of people off because the advertising really promotes a different user experience. I don't care over much, but if you were invested in that experience you would be unhappy with this device. Grade: D
Viewing experience - It's great! At least for me. Screen is crisp and legible. I can use this for work and for play, typing emails etc is no problem after some minor adjustment. The brightness levels are good, though colors do appear to be a little over-saturated to me. I can really only compare this to my metaquest 2 - which I could never even hope to use for work and isn't really that enjoyable for watching shows due to the pixellation and 'screen door' effect. There is not of that here. Screen is crisp and great to watch. Do experiment with the angles on the arms and nose piece. I have found it's best for me if they are almost angled slightly "up" off my face. The speakers are fine, I prefer using bluetooth headphones, however. Grade: A
Comfort - Not bad. In bed, there is no discomfort and I can wear these for quite some time. Sitting up, and the nose pieces do pinch the nose after a while, they could be a little larger/softer. Also, I have quite a small head, the arms are wide enough for me, but if you have a large head I imagine you could mind them a little pinchy after a time. I had no problems with headaches or anything like that from using them. Grade B
Overall, I really like this device and it meets my needs perfectly. I do think the advertising grossly oversells what you can do with them because screen resizing, head tracking etc only works in the app - and virtually nothing useful works in the app. However if you are looking like me for a portable monitor, they are terrific. B+
