Tyriel, how long have you had that dark streak in the nail of your left thumb? This could be completely harmless melanonychia or possible sign of skin cancer called subungual melanoma. If you haven't had it checked, please do so ASAP!
Hey! thanks for the comment here! Actually from a few years now, I'm checking it every year with my dermatologist, and for now everything seems to be under control. fingers crossed
Hello there, i got a question regarding the beam pro. Can you connect another console to the beam pro via USB c to have the consoles screen on the glasses with the spacial awarness?
Small note: great video…but the Xreal Beam Pro isn’t going to the be hardware companion to the Xreal Ar 2 Ultra glasses. Xreal has put up a small note on their website about the Ultra glasses, stating that a “companion device” will be coming out for them. It makes sense. The Ultra glasses will be working with 6 degrees of freedom (dof). So it would make sense to put out a device (and likely a custom designed modified version of Nebula designed to work with 6 DOF) which would be custom-made to work with the Ultra glasses and their additional two cameras mounted to either top side of the frames looking forward and a bit down from the user perspective. The Beam Pro takes all of the previous Xreal glasses (except perhaps for the initial “Light” glasses which had fully functional cameras that had 6 DOF AND the ability to take photos and videos) and gives them the Nebula experience to have two virtual apps running side by side, which are fully switchable from right to left and vice versa. But whatever other hardware “companion” device is coming to support 6 DOF should be an amazing game changer for the Ultra glasses. I have my Ultra order put in. After a couple of days they haven’t yet shipped, so I am left with the thought of cancelling my order. Yet still I crave that extra fifteen DOF over the previous models, and am interested in seeing what 6 DOF means as apps begin to become fuly developed. What do you think? Would YOU like to be able to manipulate apps and their controls with your fingertips in the air right in front of you? I know I sure would, particularly when I find myself with the inability to send an outlook email straight out of Chrome with either the Beam Pro or my iClever keyboard!
Something to add to the con list is that it's not possible to use it wired like the original beam. So it won't be too useful with devices which can't wireless cast. We could, of course, connect the glasses directly but we'll lose all the extra capabilities like anchor or resizing the screen.
Great review! One question I have - when you watched the movie on the plane, was it a downloaded movie in app? I want to be able to download a movie in Netflix for example and watch it with my XREAL glasses. I currently can’t do that because of the DRM restrictions.
Would be an instant buy for a lot of people if fully supported: - emulators in 3D (3ds, or ps2 gc etc with stereoscopic plugin) - feature-rich high definition 3d video player (360 mode, local stored files etc)
Hi thanks for the review.😊 A few questions, are the 3D pictures and videos compatible with quest or other glasses? Can These files be exported for PC or other os ? Can it support Rockid Max too?
Are any of these types of glasses able to connect to a PC with head tracking for gaming? Would be cool to have something so lightweight for sim racing rather than bulky and expensive VR setups
Love your videos - thanks for the dedication to VR. Couldn’t help but notice discolouration on your thumbnail [like the one on your thumb, not the video thumbnail😂] - it’s a sign of vitamin or zinc deficiency, you’re probably aware - I just wanted to point it out, it’s so easy to get caught up in content creation and not pay attention to healthy eating, imbalances etc. Sending loads of love and gratitude for your work!
Hey Guys, I have an issue with my Air2Pro's. The issue is that I cannot activate 3D mode on my glasses. I have a spatial video that was shot on the Beam Pro and while playing it, I tried pressing Brightness + button on the glasses for 2 seconds, as per instructions in the manual. Supposedly there should be a beep and then the glasses should turn on the 3D. But nothing happens and I still see two side by side videos. My glasses have the last SW/FW version available, as I always keep my electronics up to date. I wrote to XREAL, but haven't heard from them yet. Anyone of you with some suggestions how to fix that?
Are you able to use the glasses to shoot video? For example, can I record my son's basketball game by start video recording and using the glasses to watch the game?
You''ll be able to shoot videos using XREAL Beam Pro and then watch them back in spatial immersion with XREAL Beam Pro and a pair of XREAL AR glasses! 😎
@@Tyrielwood Agreed! When I was learning photography many scenes I thought would make good photos turning out to be boring photos. I later learn the skill of seeing the world flat. The stereo aspect of sight is something I wanted to capture since I tired a ViewMaster as a kid. I might just pick up the phone just for that feature alone. Thanks
@@pgnewfoundland getting 3d shots is so different photography too, I noticed that keeping the right horizon is kind of a must, and the focus should be more on reviving the moment than composition, everything in the frame has to be on both cameras to avoid discomfort
Thanks Tyriel. As I understand it, the old beam allowed the glasses to be connected to the pc and other devices with spatial appearance and multi-monitor capability. I gather from your review that this is no longer possible with this new device. That's important to me because I'm looking for a device that I can do office work with.
I saw your video about the Rokid AR Lite. Considering the experience of the spacial computing with 3dof with each brand glasses: is it better on the Rokid station 2 or on the Xreal Beam Pro? Which one you prefer and any major pros/cons of each?
the Rokid station 2 is still in early development, so I don't think it would be fair to compare them for now, I would say the difference is that one has the screen the other one doesn't, with all the pros and cons of it. But I'll try to make a comparison video for sure if I get the full version :)
@@Tyrielwood thanks for the reply but if you had to choose only one which would you go with cuz I'm about to buy one and not sure which one to choose now.
Please try to play warzone 2 on PC and share your impressions. I want to buy one of such devices as xreal air2, viture pro, rokid max 2 or goovis, but I don’t understand which ones will work better with a PC, because the opinions of bloggers differ on the Internet. Thank you
@Tyrielwood To be honest I use it more as tablet, secondary device. But I use it frequently. I think if I were to pick up another phone with a similar form factor, it would be the One Plus open. Us Duo users are a niche. I'm glad you are still rocking yours.
The cellular version will be for data only… it still won’t have actual phone functionality. It’ll be no different than a cellular iPad or tethering the Wi-Fi version to your smartphone.
This is the camera spacing I was hoping we'd get on the iPhone 16. It looks like they're opting to keep them very close together, even though this majorly hampers its ability to provide adequate depth. No official announcement yet, so I guess we could still see it, but I suspect not. All of that said... these are still just basic 3D videos that we're CALLING spatial. But true spatial video is volumetric video, meaning that it is more like a pointcloud or 3D model... and that will likely require extremely high quality lidar as well as a healthy dose of AI to fill in the gaps. The only way to truly gather spatial video is to have multiple 3D cameras at different locations around a scene... and the solution there is probably an evolution of gaussian splats... which if you haven't heard of them... look it up!
Being able to lock the screen and put it in your pocket is not a limitation of Android. People lock their phone and put it in their pockets, all over the world Bro, lol. The Beam Pro runs XReals varient of Android 14. Not quite sure why you would think that?
The Beam Pro IS an Android device. XReal programmed that functionality, for obvious reasons. So, saying it's the limitation of the OS, is inaccurate. For instance, do you think if Samsung or Apple made XR glasses, they would be incapable of programming their phones to allow display out while the screen was off? The wording means that the OS is incapable of that function, when obviously it IS capable. Just most phone manufactures don't have the motivation to program that functionality. XReal does, to support that device, thus more sales of the XR glasses and the Beam Pro.
@@Tyrielwoodphone dependant If you were using Smart Connect on a Motorola Edge series you'd have full desktop mode which doesn't need to phone screen to be on. The phone can be used as a pointer mouse and touchpad like in the video too. Obviously you just get one window in the glasses and not AR Interface.
Can I get that "bad" phone of yours? Please? If it's a Surface 2 I'll give you $100... Hmm? Just think about it. I really want a Nintendo DS emulator 🤣
It's funny how people complain about phones 📱 being to big and inconvenient because they take up too much space,now you're going to have a phone in one pocket & this devise in another...🙄
Sounds like the technology is going in the right direction. I’ll wait for ones that are clear and don’t look like sunglasses. So I can wear them anywhere and not look out of place so much. Like the Rayneo x2 but with better resolution and thinner frames. So you can use to “spatial” compute.
All this is nice EXCEPT I use my beam for pc gaming and this CRAP has ZERO physical connection point for any devices. I was misled by xreal because they never said this so I bought one only to be let down when it arrived. THE ORIGINAL BEAM IS SO MUCH BETTER! I cannot find any use for this and wish I never ordered it.
The performance of spatial photography or video are very limited. Today they are really not useful for someone who is engaged in photography. It is a nice toy for people who want to see videos on train or abroad. But a camera for engaged people? No. Today not.
@@PhotoJohn80 the idea in theory is that you will not need the other device, having most of the functionalities with Android, but if you used to use it for the steam deck, yep, the beam is still an option
@@Tyrielwood yup. I was hoping for it to have video passthrough for the switch. The og beam does not put the switch into dock mode so I was hoping this would and could do it. But yeah big bummer for switch owners.
@Tyrielwood I would rather just use my phone then. It's still just a flat panel either way. Or I would just get a Quest headset. The AR glasses are cool don't get me wrong, but the phone feels like a gimmick.
@@MadersPie totally understand your point, for me personally is very important to have at least a 3DoF experience, and with my phone is wasn't possibile ( at least not for everything I wanted to do, like moonlight or apps), about the quest, I actually use both, as the quest is better for gaming, but this is just better for media and portability :) that's just me tho, I like having options :)
Ty my friend, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way but that upward intonation at end of 80% of your sentences needs to go. I predict your views and subscribers will go up quite a bit if you can work on that and stop it from distracting from your otherwise great content and presentation.
