I guess it depends on your view of what portable is. Lugging around a tablet size thing seems a bit odd when glasses solve both in one device. My aim is one pair of glasses that have enough grunt to run Linux on the device. Most likely candidate is Meta VR glasses right now but perhaps Apple might do something late in 2027 (I hope)
- do you use these in 'ultrawide' mode (3840x1080)?
- if so, do you find the head tracking works well (i.e. it just works)?
- do you notice the lack of vertical resolution?
(I don't own a pair of these or similar, and like the idea. But a portable monitor gives me a second screen in addition to my MBP. AIUI the glasses would mean I would no longer be able to see my MBP screen, so the glasses would be a substitute, not a complement.)
