    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 displays or optics internal to the HMD 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
