I currently do this (mostly) with Xreal Air. There's also Viture, which has proven to be much more FOSS-friendly.

Can confirm I also do this with an xreal air. There's a great extension for gnome called Breezy Desktop that lets you mock an ultra wide monitor in the glasses and it's replaced my dual monitor setup. Still have to take them off every now and then due to VR nausea but I haven't used them too long, hope to move past the nausea.

I do wish I had gotten the vitures for the FOSS friendliness.

Just visited the Viture website, and it is abysmal. Product looks cool though.

Edit: its endless scrolling reminds me of those websites about some "totally effective protection against RF radiation" that's nothing more than a concrete block with a blinking LED.

Yeah... I absolutely loathe their website. I'd say "abysmal" is generous when one is trying to find specs or the like.

I agree. This was a shot to the past, when sites thought that people gave a crap about CSS magic, when, in reality, all we wanted was a usable site and not an art exhibit. This site seriously eroded my interest is buying the product at this time. If they can't get this simple, basic thing right, what's wrong with the actual product; what are they hiding behind the CSS art?
