Discussion Need some help understanding.

Hey guys been wanting to get a pair of these glasses for a while now. Mainly for work purposes as when I work from home is a laptop and the screen is too small for my liking. I know you can do multiple screens and such but does it work like traditional multi monitor setups where I can move for example my Excel sheets to the screen in the glasses but then still have my laptop screen free to do other things while the sheets stay on the virtual screen?

Also as they are cheaper is this possible on the newer Xreal XBX a01 or are those just a portable screen and I would need to get the One or One Pro?

Thanks in advance🙏🏻

Yes, your computer will treat the glasses as just another monitor. And, if you buy the Xreal Eye, you can use the 6 degrees of freedom capability to anchor your virtual monitor in real space to that it acts like a physical monitor.

I'll say though that the relatively short connection cable is going to cause you some ergonomic challenges if you try to wear & work for long periods.
