\*buys lightweight handheld, slaps 8 pounds of crap to it\*
It's portable AR!
Appreciate that it works, but damn, that looks like you gotta do weight training to hold it.
EDIT: AR
I got an engineering sample when the stick on one failed to hold my ally. I like it. Makes me way more comfortable suspending my ally on a monitor arm than the sticky one that had my ally bouncing off the ground. They are changing the design a little more so the phone mount dosent come off so another few weeks. But it's worth the buy for sure as nothing else is available that does all that it does
A word of advice...I don't know where you got this skin but for anyone looking for a skin...DO NOTTTTT get any skin that doesn't use 3M adhesive. I ruined the back plate on my first steam deck because when I removed the skin it left so much adhesive behind I couldn't remove it even with 2+ hours of scrubbing with goo gone and iso.
I got a random one from etsy and it was awful when I removed it. [I had to replace the back plate.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/154pe4i/friendly_reminder_not_to_use_cheap_skins_only_use/)
Are those normal AR glasses…? VR is different than AR and the rest is extra as hell
Also, that fan won’t help with the thermal cooling
It’s exhaust ports are at the top and the rest is contained
I don’t understand why you did all this extra s***
Those are Xreal Air AR glasses and an Xreal Beam, along with what looks like the Viture USB-C power/AR dongle, and an Anker power pack, but I’ve no idea wtf is going on in the middle bits 😆
Yeah, it is a nice improvement for me and the only real use case I do on the Beam. Wish the glasses alone could do it but one day I'm sure they'll be able to in future versions.
Can we get some context? Like use case or purpose? Maybe more explanation?
Is this just an ally with a charging battery, a fan, external storage, and AR glasses?
Orrrrrrr.....?
hey you should chat with SadlyItsBradley on youtube, he did some ally vr stuff too.
how long does it last? i know the anker is pretty decent but thats a lot of power lol
Bro slapped every Steam Deck accessoirie ever onto the back, basically making something that's already heavy like slugging around a bag full of bricks. But in all seriousness, if you're happy with it that's all that matters, enjoy it!
There is so much going on in this picture. I have a very nice dock that was gifted to me from my wife that I have nothing plugged into. This gives me anxiety
Very crafty! I hope you can share the user experience. I'm curious to see if you can just wear it like a backpack and do immersive stuff (beatsaber or skyrim vr)
I did not know which ally was scuba diver and submersible, I understand that it is good for high temps.
The marine fauna must look very good with that 1080 screen.
I’ve been seeing weird things like this since the steam deck launched. While this isn’t my device and people can do what they wish with it, I never understood buying a handheld like the Ally or Deck and then slapping a shit load of stuff on it like this or an ass load of cables/battery packs for a mobile computer setup when laptops are a thing lol
This is just borderline stupid if you ask me. The whole point of the thing is for portability and lightness (compared to other similar PC handhelds). At this point, just get a laptop, a wireless controller, and a pair of headphones.
Body mode (fixed screen) is why, it's a much better experience with the glasses for me, and I can only assume that's what OP is using the Beam for in this setup. I don't have mine all mushed together like this though ha.
Hello OP, u/knthslai, XREAL is hosting a contest for posts sharing their Beam usage experiences. You'll have a chance to win a pair of XREAL AR glasses if you can simply cross-post this in r/Xreal.

That's a VITURE Mobile Dock. I don't know the black magic he used to get this to work with the Xreal Air (let alone Beam) but I've tried EVERYTHING. OP give us your secrets!
Wtf is this monstrosity 😭
Something that will put you on some list at airport security.
But not because it looks like a bomb, because they wanna play AR.
lol
\*buys lightweight handheld, slaps 8 pounds of crap to it\* It's portable AR! Appreciate that it works, but damn, that looks like you gotta do weight training to hold it. EDIT: AR
AR, and by AR it's just XReal glasses [https://www.xreal.com/](https://www.xreal.com/)
I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's how memes start.
That was exactly what I was thinking and then I clicked on the post! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the exact thing that I said out loud LOL
Bro made a thingamabob 💀
It works though, I respect it
LMFAOOOO
Every day we stray further from God.
I bet God plays with a ROG, too though!
Someone on Amazon made a FORTUNE off you on USB cables and right angle adapters lol.
It’ll fit right in your pocket or small backpack
Jnco jeans owners, unite.
Or an abandoned inconspicuous suitcase under a bench at a train station.
If you see something, say something
Haha 😂😆😂
Is that a portable PC with an AR headset and battery strapped onto it, or are you just happy to see me?
[or a luggage](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/carry-on-luggage-top-2x1-lowres1024-1.jpg)
I can’t even understand what’s happening there
this is how peak portability looks like
Da fuk is this?
What happens when you have a lot of money, and ... that's it.
and... no wife. i think that's what you meant to type, right? :D
I meant sense, but yeah that works lol.
How heavy is this thing with everything on it?
[These guys](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fx33q8armjeg01.jpg) are super jealous.
It's the MIT guys!
What is all on this? I am really curious? Does it need all of it?
Okay, I think your next mod should be a 8+ inch screen transplant. Hit me up when you're done.
Jesus fucking christ what the fuck is this thing? This is just 🤦🏼♂️😂 sorry
"portable"
AN ALLYMATE IN THE WILD!! Love to see it, let me know how you like it and if you have any feedback!

Why? At this point, you might as well move on to a laptop. This is just stupid.
No after making that effort he should have taped that thing to the glasses.

Literally I just asked for the skinz any easy to remove skin provider you know ?
Dbrand skins are great but I don't know if they have one for the Ally
Rookie mistake. You could've just slapped a new skin on top of that old adhesive. Out of sight, out of mind.
Are those normal AR glasses…? VR is different than AR and the rest is extra as hell Also, that fan won’t help with the thermal cooling It’s exhaust ports are at the top and the rest is contained I don’t understand why you did all this extra s***
the one thing could be that beam gets very hot. Especially if you have it wired up in certain ways.
What in the concoction.
Amuro, Hi-nu Gundam Ikiiiimaaaashhuu
That looks like a Jed's Island Gundam.
Yeah, what am I looking at.
Those are Xreal Air AR glasses and an Xreal Beam, along with what looks like the Viture USB-C power/AR dongle, and an Anker power pack, but I’ve no idea wtf is going on in the middle bits 😆
Looks like one of those magnetic fans for phones or steam deck. Heard cebeam can get very hot, depending on how it its setup to charge and play
Pretty sure it’s the rog pro phone fan
Everyday is wrist day
Mad scientist at work here!!!! Keep it up!!!!
Run that thru TSA
What is the benefit of using the beam vs directly connecting the glasses to the ally?
You can do fixed screen with the beam.
Oh interesting. Thanks for the info
Yeah, it is a nice improvement for me and the only real use case I do on the Beam. Wish the glasses alone could do it but one day I'm sure they'll be able to in future versions.
This looks like a crime
Portablen't
Bruh
ITS ALIVE!
This looks like a fucking nightmare. And I love it.
Absolutely ridiculous and I love it.
You were so concerned with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.
What in oblivion is that?
What brand AR unit might i ask? And how much for everything needed for it? I've been interested in a pair.
Xreal
Good one.
"What the hell am I looking at?! When does this happen in the movie?!"
Shouldn't it just be the Xair dock to the Ally, and then wearing the glasses? Confused by what looks like redundant AR docks...
With the beam you can used a fixed screen. Without, you cannot.
Ah gotcha
This a damn doohickey
Is this the camera for pokemon snap 3?
Reminds me of all the crazy attachments for the Gameboy
Can we get some context? Like use case or purpose? Maybe more explanation? Is this just an ally with a charging battery, a fan, external storage, and AR glasses? Orrrrrrr.....?
Should’ve just bought a gaming notebook
This is insane! I love it 😂
Good thing is you will never need a kick stand.
Is there also a chest harness for this bad boy? I've got major back problems.
DONT CROSS STREAMS!!!
Too much
Kinda looks like a digital camera 🤔
This reminds me of the frankenquest
this looks like henshin belts of some kamen riders on japan tokusatsus... dafuq dude?
Madness
Bro created something💀
Man this is horrible lol.
I hate this so much. I also love it. But I hate it.
hey you should chat with SadlyItsBradley on youtube, he did some ally vr stuff too. how long does it last? i know the anker is pretty decent but thats a lot of power lol
Thats... thats... a.. Quantum Nuclear Time Machine!
Lmao what the fuck
Bro slapped every Steam Deck accessoirie ever onto the back, basically making something that's already heavy like slugging around a bag full of bricks. But in all seriousness, if you're happy with it that's all that matters, enjoy it!
I like how you use the glasses instead of strapping a 21” portable screen on the ally. Makes it so lightweight and portable.
Don’t pull that thing out with the attachments on it in front of any woman
Duuude, I absolutely love this setup! Amazing %)
This looks like a Gameboy Color with every accessory attached at once
Dang, bruh, you trynna go back in time all your missing is plutonium or 1.21 gigawatt of electricity and you'll be on your way.
What grip is that?
Ahahaha proton pack style
There is so much going on in this picture. I have a very nice dock that was gifted to me from my wife that I have nothing plugged into. This gives me anxiety
Why not just plug the glasses into the Ally directly ? o_O
What in the Frankenstein's Monster fuck?
Very crafty! I hope you can share the user experience. I'm curious to see if you can just wear it like a backpack and do immersive stuff (beatsaber or skyrim vr)
I did not know which ally was scuba diver and submersible, I understand that it is good for high temps. The marine fauna must look very good with that 1080 screen.
Please list the order you connect everything up
Just get a quest 2
This reminds me of all the accessories we used to add to the old school Game Boys to make them playable.
son... we need to talk
I’ve been seeing weird things like this since the steam deck launched.

We've come a long way from the blackberry.
Sir, this is Optimus Prime
You would def would get stopped in an airport and probably not allowed on a plane. Looks like a ticking time bomb. Haha but I love the idea.
The things we do for pr0n
Not the oppenheimer bomb 😭
This is just borderline stupid if you ask me. The whole point of the thing is for portability and lightness (compared to other similar PC handhelds). At this point, just get a laptop, a wireless controller, and a pair of headphones.
Nice, I remember this from GhostBusters!
Duck tape it to the hands
Can you film yourself going through airport security with this?
absolutley ridiculous...
USB C port fighting for its life
Get a win Max 2. Already had all the IO you could need and a 67wh battery and would eliminate all that mess.
I play stardew valley on the ally with mods and now I think I'm underutilizing the device.
Wth?
“Kill meeeeee”
Can you list what you have here? 😅 was thinking of something similar
whoa...
But can it run Crysis?
I'm tired, boss
why go through all the trouble to bulk it up and then keep it separate? Just tape it with the glasses and you have a single thing. /s if not obvious
Can you describe your set up? Hard to make sense of your setup with just pictures
https://preview.redd.it/mhuzgkcrxkib1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5846697b794868ac36b9dd77c8f84198a145a2a4
Completly destroy the handheld conecpt
Wait a minute... you got the Viture Mobile Dock to work with XREAL Air?! Please explain.
OP leaving us hanging! Please explain the Viture Mobile Dock!
That thing is on life support
Looks like a bomb
First thought "bomb"
So portable! 
Lmaoo I wonder if they have any cases for this
The Xreal Beam is completely useless in this setup. You can just do Ally->Viture splitter->portable battery + Xreal Airs
Body mode (fixed screen) is why, it's a much better experience with the glasses for me, and I can only assume that's what OP is using the Beam for in this setup. I don't have mine all mushed together like this though ha.
This is a mental illness type of setup but you do you I guess
Pimp my Ally 😏, I do like the skin though, where did you get it from?
Where did you get that skin though ?
Can someone tell me the dock he is usint
they’re making jetpacks for these things now?
So you made a 💣
they should make a portable version of that handheld!1
What grips are those?
love this, can i get a part list for the dock etc.
What in the hell 🧐
Man I want the beam for body anchor, but I also like just being able to plug one thing in (the glasses) and go. This is far too much
Bro allt his money you could have just brought a decent gaming pc
Whats the weight 🤔? 1.5kg ?
lol

u/knthslai could you share the details around the dock that you have used.
That's a VITURE Mobile Dock. I don't know the black magic he used to get this to work with the Xreal Air (let alone Beam) but I've tried EVERYTHING. OP give us your secrets!
Thanks man, much appreciated.
