This will be photography related, and I decided to share my recent discovery as it is very exciting for me and might be also for you.

Imagine seeing each photo you take (live view) on a huge screen anywhere you are, this will be exactly about it.

For a long time I was wondering whether it would be possible to use some sort of lightweight VR solution as a camera EVF replacement. Something which would allow me to see what camera sees in a more immersive way and be light and easy to operate enough to allow me to carry it anywhere. For a very long time this wasn’t possible, but now it finally is. Recently I discovered Xreal Air 2 Pro XR glasses, they offer 1080p (2Mpx) screen resolution per eye. They weigh 80g. They can be directly connected to HDMI with a little effort. They offer amazing color accuracy, very good contrast, as these are micro OLED screens, and they have a refresh rate 120Hz. The whole solution is also fairly inexpensive (around £500 for all). Apart from glasses I use a power bank, HDMI to USB-C converter with additional power delivery for glasses (tiny Lemorele HDMI to USB C Adapter, which I bought on Amazon), mini HDMI to HDMI coiled cable, short USB-C cable and USB-C cable bundled with glasses. The whole converter and power bank sits in my pocket, and my camera (Nikon Z6 in my case) and glasses are connected there. I also used their Android Nebula app once, to set glasses to never sleep. This whole thing transformed the way how I and the camera interact a lot. They allow me to see what the camera sees and almost nothing else. This gives me an incredible sense of immersion and it feels like a modern version of focusing cloth. This allows me to use manual lenses like never before, as finally I can focus easily on such a big screen. It takes only a few seconds more to put on glasses and start shooting compared to traditional EVF. This is seriously exciting for me to be honest.

PS. I’m not affiliated with anything which I mentioned, you can probably use other XR glasses too.

There are tons of reports of bans on the ClaudeAI subreddit (check the weekly top). My account was banned immediately after I created it. No one seems to know what is happening, and there is also no communication from the Anthropic side. Support is very poor. They are also refunding Pro instead of unbanning. Are they overwhelmed by their success? EDIT: typo
