MY scanner has arrived, but not my new laptop,
I was thinking that the user experience would be much better if I could see the laptop display and the target object area with the same glasses on to save time and make for a better experience.
Has anyone tried this?
Does anyone have any suggestions so I do not have to carry a laptop cable and the scanner around the objects?
Thanks Troy
Yes I tried AR glasses with MetroX and other scanners , it was lots of fun but you still are wired to the laptop with a MetroX cable because you can’t use it wirelessly so it change nothing .
I used this one , you can see the screen and the scanned object in front at the same time when using semi transparent settings .
The only difference here is that you don’t need to hold the laptop in your hand when scanning bigger objects
You can also cast the laptop screen to your phone or tablet it works great also
But the movements will be limited to the cable length , unless you go with a good USB cable extension to move more away from your laptop.
MetroX needs all the laptop and GPU acceleration power directly while scanning so for now the only solution is USB cable.
Since Laser mode is a time consuming scanning method I recommend you scanning your big objects in sections and moving around one by one to preserve the accuracy and quality of your scans.

For me it works gread with my Quest 3 and Virtual Desktop.
Currently I’m using a 4m high quality USB 3 extension without any problems.
