I've been dreaming of a product like this for years. I'm most productive in my office setup with large 42" + 24" monitors. When I travel I feel cramped and unproductive on my laptop. The laptop screen size does not seem to matter within the limits of what I'm comfortable lugging with me (nothing larger than a 15-16" mbp). So I've longed for some kind of VR or projected display from a laptop or mobile device.

I signed up and really hope that I'm selected..

Nreal sells glasses that are available today, on Amazon, and their Nebula virtual desktop app is available for Mac and Windows. The FoV on the Air isn't great, and if you wear corrective lenses you'll need to wear contacts, or get their prescription inserts, but that future is already here. It connects via USB-C to your existing computer, though dongles are available if you only have HDMI.

The software isn't quite there yet, but it's still early days for it so it'll hopefully get better.

Nreal looks great! Shame Linux support is not there yet, but given SteamDeck it must be coming!

i have nreal light too, for around $400 its really good. there is a community made api that can access glasses head tracking data, some made their own multi monitor app demos too, hope official one gets better later on too edit; spacetop is using nreal light (6dof)

Does nebula virtual desktop support rdp and browser? I remote into dozens of machines for work and most other things are browser based- email, chat, etc.

Same here, a lot of my work requires wide screen and traveling means carrying and extra lcd. I hope this tech emerges!
