The Xreals are the only ones I've tried, so I don't know how they compare, but I have trouble with fit. I have trouble in general, because of my nose bridge being too wide, but even when I put the glasses right against my forehead, I still can't get the entire screen in focus, the edges are blurry.

I really wish the screen were smaller and more to the center, then they'd be perfect. I guess it depends on whether you want them for games (the important stuff is usually in the centrer) or for work (the important stuff is usually at the edges).

I really like the focal distance, though, it's around 5m away and pretty comfortable for the eyes.

With the viture I have the problem that the bottom of the screen is almost always not visible. I initially used the accessibility feature that let's me zoom into the desktop with mouse follow moving the viewport but that gets old quickly, which is one reason why I started that project.

I'm also planning to add other "display" modes like a curved monitor and in theory we could connect multiple monitors using several hdmi capture devices but that's probably even less useful

  • I also have this problem with the Viture glasses.

    Do you know if this accessibility feature is available when using it with phones?

    • I haven't found a way to do it on the phone unfortunately which is really annoying.

      You could in theory use the approach I posted here and use a USB to HDMI adapter to connect the phone to device and it would do the same thing it does with a regular PC but that loses all the benefits of being small and portable if you have to carry around all that additional stuff
