There's always going to be something special about tech that makes me feel like I'm in the future. Sure, lightweight mice and ultra-thin monitors can be pretty mind blowing, but they don't splatter my brains quite as far as some of the wilder gizmos out there. Like Xreal's wearable Air 2 glasses and Beam device, which gives you a private screen right in front of your face. Yet the long term inconsistencies in the product can turn this from exciting explosions to frustrating ones pretty quickly.
It's important to note one thing very quickly, and that is these don't really look like glasses on your face. Xreal's marketing has chosen some pretty choice angles for their promo photos which hides the reality of these specs. They sit fairly far off your face, and look bulky in a way that immediately makes it very obvious you aren't just wearing normal glasses. Plus, there's the cable going from the left glasses leg to your Beam or device. If you're looking for an incognito experience, these are far from it.
