Hands-on with Xreal's Neo, a $99 battery pack and mini-dock that acts as a passthrough converter so the company's glasses can work with the Nintendo Switch
I loved playing Switch games on the Xreal 1S glasses, but getting them connected is a little awkward.

I've spent a couple of weeks trying out Xreal's new 1S glasses and Neo portable dock with the Switch 2: I love the improvements and that this even works, although I wish the Switch didn't need an adapter to make this work. www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...
