There are no good AR headsets right now. The Hololens doesn't have enough field of view, processing power, or battery to make it very useful, especially not as a development computer of any kind. And while the Meta 2 is tethered to a PC, it's also garbage. I'm not aware of any others that its actually possible to acquire right now.


I'm fine with a tether. I just want something simple that plugs into an HDMI or thunderbolt port and projects my laptop screen into the headset


https://www.reddit.com/r/HMDprogramming/ is about discussing programming inside VR. Not a lot of activity. Current headsets are still equivalent to MCGA solid-angle wise. Best so far for programming seems to be the "Pimax 4K VR" https://medium.com/@n4ru/mobile-full-stack-development-in-4k...


That's what I'm saying. The Hololens works (for some value of "works", as far as the simple demos go) but doesn't tether. The meta 2 tethers but doesn't work.
