I tried this with the Viture Pro XR glasses last year and it sucks. Can't use it with Linux, except in dumb monitor mode. No head tracking unless you're using a supported OS. Android app sucks becaus you can't use it with any old app, eg productivity apps (their app is like a demo of head tracking that only supports stuff like YouTube and local media). Maybe I should have purchased the Xreals?

If only there were credit-card sized, LiPol-battery powered 'puter with built-in wireless networking and a GPU-accelerated remote streaming app that output HDMI, all made and distributed by a Five Eyes alliance country for less than $15 each. If only... /s

The choice of a trusted HMD is a little more complex, but very solvable ;)

I like the setup, have it in mind for XReal Pro but not convinced.

1. The FoV is limited, it's cool on the go but won't replace my Odyssey Ark 55 2. The CPU/GPU is limited, so why not simply using your Phone + XReal ? 3. All your meeting with Team/Zoom/Meet won't works

So yes if your task are surfing the web, using office app it should works until an AI do your job ;-) But if you are working ... Photoshop, Davinci Resolve, Advanced Coding, 3D Building, ...
