It's Chicago and that's pretty normal there.
Lol. Lines like this make it clear that anyone speaking about it has never actually lived in Chicago. They may own a big hotel, run for public office, or (here) they may link a source or two leveraging a couple of neighborhoods raising statistics. But they clearly never lived in, or know what it's like to live in, Chicago.

Does the screen stay in one place or does it move when you move your head? That turned out to be the thing that made viture glasses unusable for me. I get that slam can be hard but I would be okay with sticking a target sticker up somewhere in my field of view and having the glasses force the screen there.
I think you need the XReal Beam in addition to the glasses to be able to anchor the screen in space, without it the screen is just fixed to the glasses.

Interesting, always wanted to try AR for office work because I travel a lot but the glasses part has always been a killer. Do they work with Linux at all?
I think they're just a usb-c monitor, so no reason it wouldn't.

I think there might be some psychological benefit just in experiencing life and being in the moment, even though it isn't all pleasant. I listen to books or music during a lot of my daily walks, but I've noticed that when I don't, I sometimes experience life differently.
i agree but i think what the parent and other folks up thread are saying makes sense. It's nice to have the choice to tune in or tune out but no one wants that decision made for them. No one wants to be forced to engage with 100+ random people in very close proximity with really no option to standup let alone leave like on a plane. Another way to look at it is imagine the person to your left and to your right are sup…
My concerns are around the normalization of pointing high-resolution cameras at people around you all the time. Perhaps this specific device may have a company behind it that, at least at the moment, will resist handing the video feed with you in it to the data brokers. Make no mistake though, the data brokers are foaming at the mouth to get access to high-resolution constantly-streaming video content that includes y…
This is complete science fiction / FUD. Amazon can't even stop showing you ads for vacuum cleaners after you buy a vacuum cleaner, you think they have the compute for something that sophisticated?
Some people have big houses, others want to buy another brand, and some people love their cleaner so much they buy a similar one for their cousin's birthday.

Does such a thing exist that works for coding? Don't need the AR. My posture/back could use this for when I'm not working at my desk.
I work lying down using my Meta Quest 3 sometimes when my back gets sore. I love it.

Like you, I cannot sleep on vehicles, but I used benzos on a recent flight, and it was like an instant time-skip forward during nighttime of the destination time zone, which helped with jet lag. Benzos are pretty terrible for you if used regularly, but if you have the self-control to limit your usage to a few long flights a year, it would be irrational not to take advantage of them. (I am not a doctor)
Benzos are my flight go-to. I got them for some flight anxiety, since my stupid brain started getting scared of flying, but boy do they just make the time go by and I manage to doze. It's not good quality, but it beats the total lack of sleep I'd customarily get. Outside of flying, I have no temptation or desire to take them thankfully, so a prescription with ten pills lasts me literally years.

Nah. I do Europe-Korea frequently, and I've definitely slowly settled into a happy optimum of sleeping 7-8 hours inbetween the meals. Killing time is a rather slower flight experience than being unconscious. I'm very happy WiFi continues to be an expensive opt-in product. If it was always-on, I'm sure I'd break the above habit.
With my CPAP need that's not going to work :(
For those who wear N95s on planes, I can confirm that 3M Aura 9205+ works great with Vision Pro※ and doesn't hinder using it at all, nor reduce comfort, at least for my head and face shape. ※ - Tested during my 30 min demo (more like 45 mins) at the Apple Store.

kinda true, but I'm surprised how some apps expect you to watch movies upright (TV+, Disney), which makes watching movies laying down quite "non ergonomic". ;)
The Meta Quest 2/3 finally fixed that a few months ago [1], where you "tilt" the horizon of the entire OS [2]. So it doesn't matter if an app doesn't support it -- you can lie on your bed and watch a screen directly above you even if it was only designed for horizontal use. It's a game-changer if you have back/neck problems. Does the AVP not have something equivalent? To be honest, I was surprised it took Meta so lon…
