A virtual screen measuring 130 inches will be placed 4 meters away. The screen is not resizable and will stay in front of your eyes.
It’s possible that other smartphones and tablets that run the Android operating system and have Snapdragon chipsets later than the 845 will be able to access the Nebula AR Space. But since we didn’t put these things through enough testing and didn’t adapt Nebula for tablets, we couldn’t guarantee you a good AR experience with a device not listed.
iPhone
The Nreal Air can be used with an iPhone for screen mirroring with the aid of an Apple Lightning Digital AV adapter and the Nreal Adapter.
Smartphones without DP output
As there is no DP output, a device that does not support DP Alt Mode, like the Google Pixel, cannot be used with these glasses. For these devices, we are developing a new streaming box.
