Linus Tech Tips demonstrates that building a PC is possible—and surprisingly intuitive—while using AR glasses to simulate a third-person camera perspective. By leveraging the ASUS ROG XR R1 gaming glasses, the team showcases the viability of virtual displays for real-world tasks, highlighting how spatial computing can bridge the gap between digital workflows and physical assembly.
Key insight: The ASUS ROG XR R1 glasses feature electrochromatic lenses that can automatically tint to adapt to lighting, and they offer a 'spatial lock' mode that anchors the virtual display in 3D space, allowing the user to look away from the screen without the display following their head.
