It’s kind of funny reading this blog announcement as a corporate product announcement, because I’ve been actually playing with nreal’s air 2 ultra glasses. They are absolutely perfect for open XR work, I love them. You get the cameras, buttons, accelerometer, all over the cable without fuss, and they show up in Linux as just a regular DRM device. Literally by default most window managers just see them as another display. It was such a nice experience getting a 3d engine hooked up to them and adding 6DoF tracking working with visua slam (two fisheye cameras gives you instant depth, a luxury compared to the usual monocular focus). Honestly these glasses are good enough that I use them with a pinephone as my primary computing device these days. And this was on the side executed by an agentic harness while I focusing on other things! I guess I’m also now competing with Google, and so could you too.
