Europe -> South America, the southernmost parts like Montevideo or Buenos Aires. There are direct flights from Madrid that take around 13-14 hours.
Transcontinental means within a continent. Last time I checked Europe and South America are not the same continent.

I've been looking for this as well but have never heard anyone that found glasses good enough for coding.
I'm using a Quest3 for coding when I'm travelling with the Immersed app. It is a bit of a setup, but it allows using a USB-C cable for the connection. It also can open multiple virtual screens. I usually have 4 screens open. The resolution is not as good as the VisionPro but having 4 screens in a slightly lower resolution allows me to be able to read everything quite well.

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.
There are many people that cannot sleep on planes so "just go to sleep" is not exactly a great response to people looking for entertainment.

Do you find it good enough to consider using it as a second screen replacement in a normal office environment?

The airlines can do that themselves: "Newer seat-back entertainment systems on some airplanes operated by American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and Singapore Airlines have cameras, and it’s likely they are also on planes used by other carriers." https://apnews.com/article/4c3ca3b46c704c6080ba026729fc8d21
I fly a lot (though not in the US) and have never seen that. Would personally boycott airlines where I notice cameras in the back seats, wtf!

They do…is that belief that people don’t buy other products that aren’t overpriced a part of the cult beliefs? Do you have a passive aggressive youtube video for that idea that allows you to passively be a dick about the products you don’t buy? No it doesn’t mean they are wrong, just closed minded.
You're carrying a lot of anger, making reductionist and polarizing arguments that sound like Mac vs PC platform wars from the 90s. I hope you find a more balanced approach to dealing with the world around you.

Every time an Apple zealot busts out counter points to prove their purchasing choice is better there’s about 8000 gotchas of what Apple won’t let you do on their device that aren’t worth the trade off for most people. You’re free to think the tradeoffs of non-Apple devices aren’t worth it for you, but for everyone else (most people since most people don’t own an Apple device) they make the best option that puts up mi…
So… you’re just giving up entirely on responding to them in a way that doesn’t read like an emotional outburst?

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 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.
No, that's not right - you can anchor the screen in space with their app. Source: NReal/XReal v2 user.
For air travel, I really like my Xreal Air glasses now that I have a newer iPhone 16pro. Just plug in the USB-C cable, and you have a virtual 60" screen in front of you which works perfectly for Netflix, etc. And they cost less than 10% of the cost of an AVP, and are not limited to 2-3 hours of battery life (they get power from the phone). Note that if you have an older (lightning) iPhone, don't bother with these. Th…
These actually look pretty cool, and affordable. My understanding is that I can just use them as an external monitor, so if I'm traveling I could plug in my linux laptop and just have an external monitor to work on and could play music through them at the same time. That sounds really tempting to me, travel work setups are always sub optimal. I have a portable external monitor, and can bring my mechanical keyboard, a…
I use the Xreal Air 1 with the Beam on my Thinkpad X1 and it's great. I really recommend it for flights. I don't understand why it hasn't gotten more popular. I can use my laptop comfortably for many hours, which makes long flights a lot more tolerable.
I only use them for laptop productivity. Not sure about VR stuff.
