Are they just for watching shows? (They look like they could be neat Linux glasses).

Nope, they're essentially a general purpose portable monitor. They basically feel like a giant, 1080p projector screen. That's just in "dumb" mode.

* They supposedly work well with Dex (Samsung/Android VR space)

* They also have a desktop app called "Nebula" that can generate up to 3 virtual monitors. Resolution low for each monitor, but it's handy for having a bunch of different material in your view.

* They can also do 3D side-by-side mode.

I believe it just works as an external monitor. Games, web, coding - whatever you want

Piggybacking in case parent answers. I am confused why it works on a limited set of devices. Doesn’t it just need a video source? Can u plug it into a rPI?

The USB-c port you use them with needs to support video output. Not all USB-C ports support that.

I also have them working (without audio) with my Playstation.

The device needs to have a USB-c port with DP mode

The NReals more comfortable, portable and rather less embarrassing than a full-blown headset like the Quest or Vision Pro as well, I imagine.

They're definitely more comfortable, but it's very clear your using some sort of VR device.

Yeah I have the Xreal Air as well and they are quite sharp at 49 PPD. Giving me a full 1080p resolution screen at 46 degree diagonal FPV which is nice.

The AVP is estimated to be around 35-42PPD.
