	Extended reality is a form of media consumption that overlays reality with computer-generated graphics, combining the two into one coherent experience, or so the intention goes.

Extended reality is a form of media consumption that overlays reality with computer-generated graphics, combining the two into one coherent experience, or so the intention goes. There are a number of ways to incorporate this, and one of the methods that I will be going over will be through prescription-like XR glasses, which generally, but not solely, act as a floating personal display that overlays your surroundings.

	* Rokid Max by Rokid		* Rokid Max by Rokid
	* Viture One XR by Viture		* Viture One XR by Viture
			*XREAL Air 2 Pro by XREAL (nReal)

			== XREAL Air 2 Pro ==
			I stayed with the Rokid Max for about a year. I took them on business trips, on the plane, on the bus, and in bars. But something was missing...

			They are hard to see with any kind of bright background. The audio also isn't the best, and either is the software support.

			So I looked into replacing them, or at least testing out how competitors fare. Formerly known as Nreal, XREAL has had the market by storm ever since the Nreal Air glasses, one of the original XR glasses. To cut to the chase, the XREAL have screens similar, but not as good as, the Rokid Air.

	The running theme here is simplicity. Instead of having to go through a shoddy application to demo 3DoF, it just works. Instead of needing to remember to pack-in a lens shade, the glasses can block ambient light on its own. It just works. Instead of needing to find a power supply that you can try to tether to your Rokid Hub dongle, Viture's is self-sufficient as it supplies its own power.		The running theme here is simplicity.

			The case is another great point for Viture, since it has a dedicated compartment for the cable to sit without scratching the glasses. It's also much smaller than Rokid Max's and thereby more portable. Speaking of the cable, I do have mixed feelings; it is easy to connect the USB-C side to the host device, and to simply place the glasses on and vaguely waggle the magnetic end to the glasses stem to connect the device. It's certainly much faster than manually inserting a USB-C cable into both ends. But it's not so fun when my ear causes the connection to physically break when I so much as lift up the glasses to talk to someone or look around, thereby causing either Samsung DeX to fully initialise, or the windows on my PC to move to a single screen.

	So why do I prefer the Rokid Max overall? There's really nothing that ''doesn't'' work. The niceties are all there. Unfortunately, it's the biggest factor of them all; the factor that you (yes, you!) will be examining for the entire duration of the usage of these glasses -- the display. It's something that I can only describe on Viture's end as ''serviceable.'' The Viture ''works'' fine, and it's something I doubt I would ever take an issue with if I never looked through the Rokid Max. But given the active choice between a perfectly crisp, color-calibrated display that potentially surpasses the sRGB color gamut over a noticeably smaller, dimmer, softer, and overall more lifeless quality of the display -- I know what I would choose. And as with everything else, this is really your preference. Just keep in mind that for actual use, the image will take up your entire field of view, so image quality is something that I consider a high priority.		So why do I prefer the Rokid Max overall?

	The speakers seem to be noticeably quieter than the Air, but it still offers the same punchiness and quality. Specifically within Samsung DeX, however, the speaker volume was barely unusable. And it seems that in a recent Samsung update, the option to select audio routing is missing, implying that audio will only come out via the phone unless you are using connected earbuds.

Your results may vary.

	And as a side note: I was already impressed with the brightness of these over the Viture One XR, and the Rokid Max were only at its 80% brightness level here. Without using a cover or electrochromic glass layer, the resulting image is essentially opaque in a brightly-lit office environment. However, these glasses do flex their microOLED capabilities, and while they do have a high dynamic range (by dictionary definition; Rokid Max does not support HDR content), content that has dark or black shadows will appear nearly invisible, as the glasses cannot make blacks deeper than the environment outside of the viewable area. However, these black areas still appear vibrant and with texture and detail without being artificially brightened.

On the topic of brightness, an unfortunate downfall of the Rokid Max is an enforced blue-light filter on its lowest brightness setting. Luckily, there are other brightness settings to choose from to bypass this.

Instead of needing to remember to pack-in a lens shade, the glasses can block ambient light on its own. It just works. Instead of needing to find a power supply that you can try to tether to your Rokid Hub dongle, Viture's is self-sufficient as it supplies its own power.[[File:Chrome 79qerjggwO.png\|thumb\|Left: Viture One Right: Rokid Max]]So why do I prefer the Rokid Max overall? There's really nothing that ''doesn't'' work. The niceties are all there. Unfortunately, it's the biggest factor of them all; the factor that you (yes, you!) will be examining for the entire duration of the usage of these glasses -- the display. It's something that I can only describe on Viture's end as ''serviceable.'' The Viture ''works'' fine, and it's something I doubt I would ever take an issue with if I never looked through the Rokid Max. But given the active choice between a vibrant, color-calibrated display that potentially surpasses the sRGB color gamut over a less-sharp and duller "passable" display, the choice is easy for me. On Viture, I can tell I am looking at an image on a display. On Rokid Max, it feels as if I am looking at a physical poster of this keyart. Even if the colors seem oversaturated on Rokid's end in this example image, details within the display remain discernable and the colors look more realistic and natural, when viewing through the glasses themselves.		The running theme here is simplicity. Instead of having to go through a shoddy application to demo 3DoF, it just works.

	I prefer the Viture One XR for every individual point that isn't screen quality.		I prefer the Viture One XR for every individual point that isn't screen quality. But if you don't care about screen quality, one may be able to consider the Viture One XR glasses as perfection.
