VUF-110 Wearable Display

I purchased one of these and had issues with one of the included mounts. I sent pictures to support who offered to send a replacement the same day, and I live in a small European country. I am very happy.The display itself is 960x540 and it takes a 720p signal. However the resolution is not an issue as the display is so small in your field of vision that you'll have a hard time to see individual pixels, and video content looks very nice. I connected mine to a small portable computer so that I can watch youtube while walking.The device is exactly what it claims, but it does take some getting used to having a display on only one eye. I would not recommend this as a second monitor, but as a portable monitor it is excellent.

It has terrible reviews for a reason but I wanted to give this one a shot for myself. In theory it seems like a great gadget. Practically it just isn’t there yet. It uses magnets to stick to the sides of your eyeglasses. It’s pretty heavy so you’ll feel it on your face and the plastic strap starting to rip within the first day. The device came dead so I had to charge. Took about 2 hours to fully reach 100. Once I started using it there is a few things you need to note. (I have an iphone11 for context) Since the lighting adapter port is connected, you will need Bluetooth headphones to play sound. You’ll hear nothing from the phone or the device. Two, the device is literally mirroring your phone so if you want to actually see what’s on the screen, you need to be in horizontal viewing mode on your phone. Everything is much smaller when you look at your phone vertically. Last but not least it’s extremely uncomfortable watching anything in one eye. It’s just not how depth perception works. You’ll find yourself with watery eyes and squinting.Final: it’s not worth the money. it would have been really cool if it was but same yourself the time and energy. if you are like me and are going to get this anyway, take all my tips to heart and return it when you realize I was speaking the truth

On it's own it's an alright display, it tends to have really tiny text that may make using it normally for long periods a bit of a pain if your vision is not the greatest. I solved this by using the magnifier to make the screen 200% zoomed in, it's a little bit of a pain to have to move around the screen in little subsections, but you can then clearly read all the text and work all the controls.I'm using this with a mini pc stick (Recommend getting the 8gb ram fanless one as then you can stick it in a waterproof bag but still leave it running) to make a super lightweight computer for backpacking that runs entirely off solar power. This monitor works very will with that because it has enormously less power draw than other solutions and is super lightweight. You can also easily slip it into a plastic bag to make it rainproof.For regular life I find it just a tad frustrating to use for a couple of reasons. For one, it only comes in a right eye version, and I prefer it on my left eye, so after you adjust the windows 10 settings to invert the screen, the cords now poke upwards instead of hanging down neatly. The internal battery life is quite short, about an hour or so for me, so you will want to keep it plugged into power while using it. I use an external battery bank stuffed in a pocket for this.Despite it's limitations, it is an excellent piece of gear for adapting to the new work from anywhere world. Highly recommend for it's special camping and outdoors usage, not a terribly pleasant experience for a casual office user.

Much of my disappointment is due to my own expectations for what this product might have been able to do. Perhaps I can help prevent someone else from suffering the same fate.First, when properly mounted, it's very easy for the wired setup to adjust the orientation of the viewfinder on the glasses provided. The attachment between the viewer part and the eyeglass attachment part is very flimsy. Turn your head or perhaps move your arms to type, if you bump the wiring, you are no longer looking at the screen. This is because the actual viewfinder part connects to the eyeglass attachment via a small, weak magnet that is easy to bump out of place or reorient.Next, as advertised, when using with a smartphone, you are literally seeing the entire face of your phone. While the resolution is really excellent, everything is very small. So, watching video or your camera is nice; but notes, text messages, or Kindle, not so much. It's as if you were to hold your phone 6' away and try to read texts from that distance. This was a big disappointment, as I had pictured myself reading on a plane or as a passenger in a car.I did find Netflix or YouTube video quality to be very good with Vufine. However, my iPhone will not both use the digital TV output to Vufine AND the iPhone's own speakers or BlueTooth audio at the same time. Meaning, I would have to add even more wires by plugging a wired headset into the Lighting>Digital AV connector. This is not ideal. This really is a "must improve" situation for Vufine to be reasonably viable for anything other than drone FPV.When taking pictures with my iPhone, the viewer works well in Portrait mode. But, if I rotate the phone to Landscape, the viewer stays in Portrait but at a 90-degree angle. I wold imagine the same would happen with a digital camera.I can say, if one's sole use for Vufine is to FPV drone flights, Vufine may be useful for that purpose. You wouldn't need sound and the picture is decent.
