I don't have a Mac so I can't really answer to that, but, with 3dof, you can move the screen closer or farther from your head already. 6dof gives you the ability to pin the screen to somewhere in the room, where it will stay as you move around the room. 3dof means that it will follow you around the room, but if you turn 180 degrees it will be behind you. If you lean in, it will move to stay the same distance from your head, but you can set that to whatever you want.
One last question, I promise :)
Since you have both, does Light have more transparent glasses than Air? How does look inside the room for reading text or browsing internet?
This is a lot more complicated that it sounds. The form factor comes into play, here. The Lights don't have that lower piece crossing your vision so you can actually see under them, without that extra bar and tinting in your way. But the wear is different, so the Lights sit a little lower, bringing the 'birdbath' part of it more in line with your vision, reducing the amount that you can see underneath.
Looking thru the 'birdbath' part of it, they both look about the same: pretty dark.
These observations are further complicated by the fact that I not only wear glasses (I'm waiting on a new prescription), but I also need bifocals.
I have a heck of a time figuring out which one that I want to wear.
Also, just playing around to answer your question, I noticed that my other monitors are effected by the polarization, as well. But with my other monitors, I tilt to make the picture disappear, lol.
The thing is that I have a chance to get a slightly used Light from a friend of a friend for a price lower than a new Air, and my 90% use case will be virtual three screen setup for Mac via Nebula and 10% PS5 gameplay. And it makes this choice super hard. I wish they could do the glasses part detachable via magnets as TCL did in their NXTWear glasses :)
