My Apple Vision Pro has all that, and it’s perfect for posture when using a MacBook.

Yeah- this and the upcoming steam frame seem like the best options today.

There's something very attractive for me personally about the sunglasses form factor.

Safer in public, draws less attention, more portable, less headset fatigue, etc.

But obviously trading quality and features.

Also AVP is like $3k, steam frame will probably be $800+, xreal are like half that

For me it’s like settling for a CRT after trying a 4k TV in terms of visuals, but with the form factors reversed.

Except the form factors are swapped, but yes.

Isn’t the Vision Pro rather front loaded in terms of its weight distribution? Seems like you might just be trading one ergonomic problem for another.

It’s not really, with the new dual band which changes the weight distribution. If you lean back a lot it’s obviously going to rest on your face then, but that’s a good way to avoid bad posture too.

Still, it’s not for everyone. I use it with my AirPods Max comfortably, I have a sturdy neck. I don’t think my wife could pull it off.

Do you wonder about the wifi impact so close to your head?
