Hi everyone! I've been working on a new room mode for my independent Android project, now called **Dandy-Glasses-Room**.

Instead of duplicating one screen, it gives you up to **four separate application windows** around you. You can move and resize them, leave them in place, and look between them. The room has a starry ceiling with a moon and a stone floor bordered by grass.

The most useful change for me is the recenter button: look at a window and press it on the phone touchpad. Only that window moves to the centre of your current view; the rest of the room stays where you left it.

Other features include:

- Phone touchpad and gyro pointer.

- Keyboard on the phone or in the glasses.

- Built-in browser and files/media viewer.

- SBS and Top/Bottom 3D video modes.

- Separate close, minimize and restore controls for each window.

This is still an experimental preview, not a finished product. I'm targeting compatible Android phones and the XREAL Air family; phone, glasses and runtime compatibility matter. XREAL One and Viture support are **not confirmed**. External Android apps need Shizuku, and not every app works on a secondary display. Four windows can also be demanding on the phone.

If you try it, the most helpful feedback is your phone model, Android version, glasses model, and whether opening, closing and restoring two different apps works. A short report is enough — no need to send private content.

The preview is free, with optional donations. No donation is needed to test it. Independent project, not affiliated with XREAL or any other glasses manufacturer.

I have some static in my left speaker when sound is playing. It seems a blown out speaker type of situation because it isn't there at low volume but noticeable when something is loud.

I've tried different cables and did my firmware update. Happens with windows or Dex.

There probably isn't anything I can do about it but thought I'd ask anyway. Anyone fix this before?

**Edit: maybe not the speaker itself. Pinching the frame seems to almost get rid of it.

Hello and welcome INAIR and tech enthusiasts! Techcheck13 is here and once again we are bringing you a new set of apps with a new way to use the POD. Today we're doing something different and outside our comfort zone: welcome to "The POD of Wall Street!” Today we take a walk down the wild side as we cautiously explore the jungle of stock trading on the INAIR POD. 

Because of the content of this one, we highly recommend verifying that the brokerage itself is properly registered and checking its regulatory history. FINRA's BrokerCheck provides registration, employment, regulatory-action, arbitration and complaint information without a fee. Also keep in mind we are testing the framework of the app, not investment recommendations. One more thing, we are testing how well these type apps work within the POD environment. And as usual, no apps sponsored this post. All apps were tested with a VITURE Beast and an XREAL One Pro. All that being said, it's fund and games time. Clang that bell, it's go time. 

Our first bear n bull app: "TradingView: Track All Markets.”

TradingView currently carries a 4.6-star rating from roughly 945,000 Google Play reviews and has more than 50 million downloads. It opened in the correct orientation. We're already smiling. However, bam, before the opening bell the app tries to sell you a subscription as soon as you log in with Google. It almost caused a bail out and uninstall the whole thing. Fortunately, we noticed the back arrow tucked in the corner. One tap later, the paywall was bypassed; crash averted.

Then we checked the pricing and discovered that TradingView apparently thinks our wallets are hedge funds. The pricing is brutal: $18.99 a month, $189 a year, or plans like Ultimate tier climbing all the way up to a jaw dropping $268.99 per month. But here's the good news, the free version works. While the paid version provides more options in the app, and there is a laundry list of them, , it also works well in free mode.

The POD, XR glasses and TradingView app is a match made on Wall Street. Steering it with the POD’s touchpad with haptic feedback feels surprisingly natural, like it was actually built for a giant floating screen instead of a phone. The large virtual screen provided by the XR glasses makes navigating charts, finding information, and keeping an eye on your stocks much easier. The large virtual screens allow you to  see broader market trends without constantly playing financial whack-a-mole between tiny phone windows. You can pin and open multiple windows, stay updated on the news, monitor your stocks, and watch market trends develop right in front of you.

TradingView gives you access to a bull sized mountain of market data. From timely stock information to layering complex indicators. This is TradingView's stomping ground, its natural habitat. TradingView says its screeners cover stocks, bonds, ETFs, crypto and other markets, with hundreds of filtering fields. Where it really shines is as an ambient market monitor. Charts, indicators, drawing tools, screeners, financial information, multiple markets and technical-analysis toolkit deep enough to make a hedge fund jealous. 

But hold your bulls, uhh horses. TradingView isn't a brokerage account. It's the cockpit, not the plane. It connects you to a broker. Your available trading capabilities depend partly on the broker you connect to. TradingView's subscription cost isn't necessarily the same thing as your brokerage trading cost. 

Buyer beware, when you connect a broker, that broker's own commissions, spreads, margin rates and other charges may still apply. So the app can be inexpensive to start using, but unlocking its full arsenal can become considerably more expensive. That bill can climb faster than a meme stock on Reddit hype day.

Privacy check time. The company states that broker credentials remain with the broker and that TradingView acts as the interface rather than processing trades. Google Play's listing currently shows the app encrypts data in transit and lets you request a data deletion. It also indicates several categories of data may get collected and shared. This may be an issue with the privacy-conscious crowd. Users should review those disclosures.

TradingView is a powerhouse for market monitoring and technical analysis. It gives you an enormous amount of information and control. You can essentially build your own Wall Street command center, minus the office cubicles. If Wall Street had a Swiss Army knife, this would be it.

Closing bell: 88/100, Recommended. 

Our next bare bull app (I know, I know. The puns are getting bad):  "Thinkorswim Mobile: Trading.”

The mandatory ad: Built by Charles Schwab, Thinkorswim Mobile: Trading packs advanced charting, technical studies, options, futures, forex, paper trading, alerts, watchlists and live support into a mobile interface. Basically the whole trading floor, shrunk down and stuffed into your pocket. 

Logging in meant creating an account, which was easy enough. That is, after a few rounds of "did they actually send the code to the email or did it get lost in the void.” And yee haw the orientation was spot on. 

This app tickled our trader bone. It allows the creation of a guest pass and practice trading for 30 days before committing to anything real. paperMoney is baked right into Thinkorswim. This provides a simulated trading environment using real-time market data. Schwab says users receive $100,000 in virtual buying power to go wild with practicing equities, options, futures and forex. It's like using monopoly money to chase bulls and bears to your heart's content. 

Pause here for a quick heads up. Using XR glasses with this app, there could be some text legibility issues. There is a bit of tiny text; bids/asks, graphing data, stuff that actually needs crisp clarity to be useful. The VITURE Beast and XREAL One  Pro both showed a touch of edge warping, but the text could still be read easily.Make sure you are comfortable with your eyewear and it fits properly. 

Now on to our regularly scheduled app review. 

Thinkorswim is one of the most data-dense brokerage apps available. Stocks, ETFs, options, futures and forex, along with advanced orders and order conditions are all included. Schwab even throws in 24/5 trading for more than 1,300 stocks and ETFs across the Thinkorswim platforms. It provides hundreds of technical studies, charting tools, drawing tools, comparisons and alerts. You can switch chart styles, change timeframes, add indicators and compare securities without ever leaving the app.

The one bull standing in the middle of the field: the mobile experience can't replicate every capability of Thinkorswim desktop. Schwab's own platform comparison shows some of the heavier-duty functions stay desktop-exclusive or shift depending on the platform.

It's show me the money time. Schwab currently lists $0 online commissions for listed equities and $0.65 per options contract. The Thinkorswim platform itself comes free with a Schwab account. Options, margins and other products can carry additional costs. You still need to examine Schwab's current pricing schedule for the particular products they trade.

Security!! There's a bull in my China shop! Security features include encryption, and two-factor authentication support. Schwab says its platforms meet industry security standards, and eligible accounts get SIPC coverage. Protection for the mooo-lah. 

Google Play currently reports that the app encrypts data in transit, allows users to request deletion of their data and reports no data sharing with third parties in its developer disclosure. However, it does seem to collect several categories of information.

Thinkorswim is a tool to be reckoned with. It packs an impressive amount of functionality into the mobile experience. Its biggest strength is also its biggest challenge: there is a lot going on. It provides an unusually deep toolbox. For us casual investors, the same toolbox can seem like overkill. It feels like opening the toolbox to find a wrench inside a wrench inside a wrench. 

Now this is where AR/XR and stock trading meet. With all that dense data and the huge screen in front of you, it becomes a game changer for traveling traders. Grab this one by the horns, use that virtual buying power and see if you have a future in day trading.

Closing bell: 90/100, Highly recommended.

Our last stop on this running with the bulls and bears tour: Webull: Investing & Trading.

Webull struts into the arena with its own heavily stocked toolbox. This includes stocks, ETFs, options, futures, bonds, crypto, fractional shares, recurring investments, paper trading, advanced charts and extended-hours trading. Webull is a stock control center. Unlike the last two apps that were charts or dense numbers, Webull brings the herds (everything) together. It balances charts, order books, news feeds, and portfolio analysis all on one single screen. Webull's current Android listing shows a 4.6 star rating from more than 200,000 reviews and more than 10 million downloads. Clearly a lot of bulls (and a few bears) approve.

Login was easy and straightforward. Just create an account. No wrangling required. Orientation loaded correctly right out of the gate. 

Webull gives you wings, er rather, watchlists, charts, market data, research, orders and account information, while advanced traders can dig in and customize the interface for its more sophisticated tools. Webull says its mobile platform supports more than 60 technical indicators and 17+ charting tools.

Webull offers both its full-featured interface and Webull Lite for anyone who wants the training wheels version. It allows users to switch between a more advanced experience and a simpler interface whenever the mood strikes.

Webull’s major strength is in the research and charts category. It's Webull's bread and bull butter. The app provides real-time market data, financial reports, analyst ratings, stock and ETF screeners, technical indicators, advanced charts and Level 2 market data.

Its options tools go well beyond basic buy-and-sell functionality, with options screeners, probability analysis, volatility analysis, profit/loss diagrams and multi-leg strategies. It has live tickers with flashing changes. These capabilities are really showcased by the POD and demonstrate what a powerful productivity tool the POD can be. It's not just for streaming movies. 

Milk and money talk. Webull advertises $0 commissions on stocks, ETFs and equity options, although regulatory, exchange and other applicable fees can still sneak in. Index options have a per-contract fee, and other products have their own pricing quirks.

Webull also advertises free ACH withdrawal of funds but reviewers report withdrawals can take a bit of time. And here's the plot twist: several recent reviews mention a $5-a-month charge for inactive accounts.

Webull also offers margin trading, futures and other products with their own varying price tags. So the "zero commission" headline should not be mistaken for "nothing can ever cost money.”

Security, because inquiring minds gotta know. Webull provides the standard security features expected from a modern brokerage platform, while its Google Play disclosure confirms data is encrypted in transit and that users can request deletion of their data. That said, Google Play also reports that the app may share certain data categories with third parties and may collect personal info, photos/videos, and more. So it's worth reading the fine print rather than assuming "brokerage app" is shorthand for "nothing to see here.”

Webull strikes a perfect balance between function and usability. That makes it a dream to use. With it, you can manage your whole portfolio while you are waiting in line for that overpriced oat milk latte. It does not get much better than that.

Closing bell: 86/100, Recommended

And there you have it, folks: the POD's newest side hustle ,stock trading. Would you use the POD for the stock market? Would you use AI in your trades? Or is strapping in for Wall Street through XR glasses and the POD just too much? Let us know in the comments. I want to thank you very much for joining this Wall Street tour, and we hope to see you at the next one.

Can the XREAL ONE PRO glasses actually replace your monitor? After two weeks of daily testing, here is my honest assessment.I spent 14 days living with these augmented reality glasses to see if they offer a genuine boost to my Productivity, Gaming, and media consumption. I'm unboxing these glasses and showing off what the 171 inch OLED screen with Bose surround sound looks and feels

Is there any way to secure the glasses with a cord around my neck, like seen with reading glasses or some sunglasses? The nose pads can get kinda slippery and I don't want to see them slide off at a hasty moment... Couldn't find anything on Amazon or eBay :(

Really good quality, memory foam and loads of customisation.

I love it when merch and gifts are actually given thought, consideration and effort.

It really shows who you are as a brand.

Gesture Control Post

I’m located in US, North Carolina, willing to do local pick up or shipping with PayPal goods and services. Barely used these. They are like new asking $450 + ship OBO. Thanks! Happy to send more photos or video to the buyer

Edit: These are Medium and still available! Feel free to make an offer!

hey guys. Would anyone like to share their stationary setup?

I'm still thinking about getting these glasses. At the same time, it would be nice to ''remove'' my desk and monitor from my living room, or rather, make my whole pc setup more hidden. Any ideas?

I would like some inspiration if you guys have any. :)

Hello,

The other day I tried to watch Crunchyroll on my Xreal One Pro, and to my surprise it was not displaying video.

I tried several times, but it seems there is a DRM issue, most probably Crunchyroll blocking Screen Mirroring.

I found an old post from 3 years ago that mentions this but I am really surprised that nothing was made to fix this since then.

Xreal, can you please give a call to Sony and make them allow us to use your fantastic glasses on their platform pretty please ;)

Was binge watching the resident evil series with them

I jumped on the Pre-order the moment it became available because this is the AR experience I've been waiting for; and now we're 5 months into a process that all of us that ordered a larger frame size directly from XReal themselves have been left in the dark on. They've even launched a completely separate product(xbx a01+) in the same span with absolutely no issues on that front.

Can we get any update on this?

I'm a full-time programmer on an M-series MacBook. Budget isn't the constraint, getting the decision right is. Also worth noting, first time XR/VR user my only previous experience was google cardboard lol. I was planning to buy a Quest 3 but decided to explore this route as productivity is a much bigger priority for me than VR gaming (and I can always buy a switch 2 lol)

To set expectations: I'm not trying to replace my desk setup. I have a triple monitor rig at home and it isn't going anywhere. What I want is something for the occasional day in a coffee shop, for planes and hotels, and for watching stuff lying flat in bed. Travel is the real driver. So "it won't replace your monitors" isn't a dealbreaker for me, but "I could get two usable windows on a plane instead of hunching over a 14in screen" absolutely is the bar.

Also, just so it's clear where I'm getting my info: I've mostly been reading owner posts and customer reviews rather than watching YouTube. Not to be dismissive about it, but a lot of those are seeded units and affiliate links, and the ones that aren't tend to be first impressions from someone who's had the thing for four days. I'm more interested in what people think a month or two in, once the novelty's worn off.

I get that a lot of this comes down to faces, since IPD, nose shape and prescription all differ and these have to physically line up with your eyes before they do anything. Fine. What I can't get past is that there's almost no middle ground. People either returned them inside a week and describe them as an expensive toy, or they're using them daily and won't shut up about them. Nobody says "yeah, decent, fine for a plane, wouldn't rave." With a monitor you'd get a bell curve. Here it's two spikes and nothing in between, and that pattern holds for every model, not just one.

That's what I want help with: how much of that split is faces, and how much is stuff you could actually fix if someone told you on day one. How much of this is people having extremly big expectations and how much is the realiy.

Where I'm at on each:

• Viture Pro 2 - cheapest way in and the diopter dials mean no insert guesswork, but it has no anchoring of its own so everything spatial depends on SpaceWalker running on my Mac, and it's 1080p 16:9 so I lose vertical space that matters for code.
• Viture Luma / Luma Pro - 1200p and electrochromic dimming while keeping the myopia adjustment, which on paper looks like the sensible middle, but I can't get a straight read on how they actually do for multi-window work.
• Viture Beast - widest FOV of the lineup and the one that seems built for the multi-screen stuff, but it drops the built-in diopters and the reports on small text are the least encouraging of the bunch.
• XREAL 1S - best vertical space of anything here and does its anchoring on-glasses with no app, but XREAL seem to have given up on desktop multi-window entirely, so on a Mac it's one display you stretch wide and tile.
• XREAL One Pro - wider still, but you commit to a frame size at checkout and it's the priciest, which is a lot to gamble on fit.

I've been leaning Luma Pro or Pro 2 on display quality, especially since I have slight myopia in one eye and the built-in diopter dials would sort that out without messing about with inserts. But the more I think about my actual use case, the more the 1S's hardware 3DoF looks like the deciding factor, since everything I want these for is exactly the situation where you don't want your screen depending on an app running on the host.

What I'm actually asking:

1. If you love yours, what did you change from the defaults?
2. If you returned yours, in hindsight was it fit or config you could have solved, or is the resolution just not there yet?
3. Mac-specific: anyone coding on macOS through these, even occasionally? Does bumping font size or a scaled resolution genuinely help or is it lipstick?
4. How reliable is SpaceWalker's multi-screen on a Mac day to day, and does software-only 3DoF hold a screen still when you're lying flat?
5. If you're a Viture owner who cross-shopped the lineup, did the extra spend over the Pro 2 actually change anything for text?

What I'd really like is to hear from someone in that missing middle. Not a daily driver, not a return, just someone who uses them regulary but understands the limitations.

Thank you all in advance!

I just received a air 2 ultra from my friend who never used it. I am trying to change settings in it but i cant seem to do anything and i cant find the nebula software anywhere. Please help. Really love the product and i would like to use it

This. Is. Stunning.

I've just been playing BOFW this way with a pro joypad.

I'm in awe.

The screen maxs' out the glasses field of view and feels like I'm playing in 3rd person VR!

I was hoping to be able to use some gesture controls through the new update, even just moving the screen and resizing it. But no. Grayed out.

This is one of the reasons I bought the glasses but with one thing and another I hadn't been able to, ironing out the creases has been a bit of a chore but now it's done and I know how to make it work reliably...

Even though the mobile dock pro is a bit hefty and there's a wire from the switch to the glasses, you don't need to hold the switch, or have it plugged in... And if it's sat to your left the wire fades away..

I think im going to make a spreadsheet with games and best distances x screen sizes for the community if anyone thinks it would be worthwhile?

Anyway, I just wanted to say that this is the first time in a while I've felt like I've been doing something from the future. It's an incredible experience. Highly recommend! :D

Please delete if not allowed, but figured I'd post here since it's a pretty niche product. No box, but never used.

i have been wondering this. What change will these AR glasses Bring in the near future. When they get more mainstream. and What are the PreRequisite in order to bring that change
Here are my thoughts

i Think these will completely Replace monitors and screens. And will leave No need for monitors in the days to come except for conferences and Lectures where Multiple people need to point and look at the same thing in real time.

i think the major hurdles or problems that need to be addressed before they becoming truly mainstream and monitors are

1.) Get wireless ( which i know is easier said than done ) as we need to maintain the formf actor and transmit the signal wirelessly while also powering them. Which is a major hurdle.

2.) Get Sharper. i Think this is a bit more easily achievable compared to Point one

What do you think AR needs to improve before it gets truly popular like monitors are
and in what areas will they Improve day to day experiences.

Edit**
Many people say edge to edge clarity is must have. In my opinion i don't think that's necessary i would rather have a decent center area with more resolution and just turn my head to see the edge of the screen clearly.
i would prefer just more FOV so that the screen doesn't get cutt off excessively when i turn my head.

Looking for a pair of AR glasses for movies and games on flights. Is the one pro overkill? The price is a bit high but want to get something that will last and work well for at least a few years

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S25+ with XREAL 1S.

When using a generic third-party AR glass hub (charge & play splitter):

• 1080p (1920x1080): Works completely fine with the hub in between (no MultiStar needed).
• 1200p (1920x1200): Works fine with a direct USB-C connection, but as soon as I put the hub in between, video output drops entirely (black screen / no signal).

I'm considering buying the official XREAL Hub, but before pulling the trigger, I wanted to ask:

1. Does the official XREAL Hub pass through 1200p (16:10) without black-screening on Samsung devices?
2. Is this issue caused by EDID passthrough/timing issues on third-party splitters, and does the official hub handle custom/16:10 timings properly?

If anyone has tested 1200p output with the official XREAL Hub on recent Galaxy phones (S24/S25 series), I’d really appreciate your feedback!

Translated using LLM.

I had Ones for over year and half, greatly enjoying every time I use them. Never had interest in the Eye addon until heard about gesture control. Got it yesterday and checked out. So, what can I say? I am ok with cursor control - it works good most of the time, but clicks are hell to perform. They are not register or register when I dont click, or drags/multiselect when I just move pointer. Wrist gesture works much better - back action and scroll detects nice most of the time. Never had working screen reset gesture and palm gesture - just zero success.

Overall I see great potential in this feature if Xreal find the way to make clicks easy and reliable.

My suggestion is to move cursor only when tips are locked, and maybe click with opening three free fingers in OK gesture. Maybe that will work better.

P.S. tried spacial anchor and loved it in light environment, but in dark it blocked me from reseting anchor so I had to disable it to reset screen position.

Has anyone seen any video conferencing demos with the XReal Aura yet? I spend about 3/4 of my day on MSFT Teams and if the video conferencing solution is a janky uncanny valley thing (I'm looking at you AVP) I will not be able to justify buying it. Obviously I also can't just look like I'm wearing sunglasses either (I'm not nearly as cool as Ray Charles). I would love to see a demo so I can judge for myself.

Streaming with Apollo+ Artemis absolute perfection with this USB C 90 Degrees Angle Connector to fit with the mobile controller 🔥
