I wear prescription glasses. Does Xreal Air help folks like me or forces me to use Contacts?

I got the prescription inserts for the xreal air 2 pro. They were a little more expensive than I would’ve liked ($150 plus $40 because I need -8 SPH) but I have somewhat severe myopia.

I got mine for $60 shipping incl from HONS VR. And they work well.

I use the Viture which supports negative prescriptions by an adjustment dial on the optics.

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.

Actually historically they are pretty finicky about resolution and refresh rate - it's only with the last firmware update or two that they work with RPi reliably for example - I couldn't come up with a working X config for a long time.

Just note that you will also need the Xreal Beam if you want the virtual screen to stay fixed in space while you move your head (it's too uncomfortable to use without it IMO).
