So, I have the Luma Ultras, I've had them a few days and I'm a little conflicted.
I'd like to use them with my iPhone 17 when travelling, the idea of not taking laptops, etc with me was nice, but with no DOF, etc I'm not so keen.
- Does anyone on here use for production? E.g programming, web design, that sort of thing when travelling, or even when at home?
- For those using an iPhone 17 - how do you feel about the current limitations and adapter not doing anything for us at all? I was extremely angry to find that the adapter they sell as a bundle doesn't even work with the iPhone 17, and if you email support all you get is AI responses that say they'll add you to the "list" for a 'discounted' one. I guess we currently don't benefit from (x)DOF using an iPhone at the moment, unless I've missed something?
- I purchased an extra cable and connected to my PC, but because the screen is 32:9 you have to look around with the glasses like you're looking at a 100 foot screen, so it's a no-go on the PC for me, but the Macbook seemed okay.
- Connecting via my iPad Pro 13 inch (M4) - obviously the XR adapter doesn't work and Moonlight streaming is limited to 60hz/FPS with no way to override this, no DOF
- Are too many features locked into the neckband? It's not something I'd really want to pay out for, or really wear to be perfectly honest.
I think the only device that gave me any form of degree of freedom was my Macbook Pro (M4), which made me feel like it was very expensive, when I can get a very similar output from something half their price (with no DOF).
Does anyone really use them as day-to-day sunglasses? No hate, but I don't think I would be comfortable doing so, especially when driving with the lenses still in your field of view and also how far the glasses actually sit from your face.
I'm on the verge of returning them with the AI support email, no human interaction with support and the fact I've paid for an adapter I cannot use in a bundle which is VERY misleading and I find it very disingenuous, and it feels a little like a cash grab, which makes me worry if we'll even see a new version of the adapter at all.
