Anyone trying Bet Angeling on a pair of these? If so, any good?

I have along flight coming up and thinking of pulling the trigger on a pair to improve my inflight

Not tried the XReal myself yet, but I can see the appeal. I’ve done a few Heathrow-SFO flights with just the laptop on the tray table—latency was ugly, but workable.

If the glasses let me park ladders at eye-level and save the neck-ache, that’s worth a look.

I had a demo of the Apple Vision Pro the other day and it was super impressive. I guess we may be headed in that direction generally.

I have a pair of Meta Ray Bans and they are great for being in the moment and still capturing it!

Trading at 35,000 feet? :shock:

I've done it, but it was painful, but some US carriers are now using Starlink!

Ah. I meant more for inflight entertainment in this instance. I don't think my day to day inplay trading would go well on a plane. Hate having my head tilted downwards for hours at a time.

That said I wasn't sure if how they would be to use in the office day to day. I'm going to get a pair for my trip and them maybe give then a trial run on a few races when i get home. Will report back.
