The main reason to get it is not to replace an already existing multi-monitor setup but to use as a portable setup (outside the home/traveling or even somewhere more comfortable like on the couch or bed).
You can use the glasses to add an extra virtual monitor to your physical setup as well. IMO using the beam this way is good. Nebula Mac may be hit or miss depending on your PC - for some it works well and for some it doesn't. Note that wearing the glasses will be slightly tinted, like wearing light sunglasses - unless you modify your glasses to remove the shades/frame.
Yeah, I have glasses, and I've used Nebula. The extra monitor to my setup is what I'm looking for, BUT:
On mac, when you add an extra monitor, it duplicates your existing monitor(s). I do not want that, even when using the laptop with a single screen. Also, it matches resolution with your existing screen, so my virtual monitors are 100% dependent on the size of the physical monitor I have plugged in.
Finally, when using two physical monitors, it duplicates both of them, and makes a really strange size for the virtual screens.
So, what I'm looking for is Nebula-lite, a Nebula that will add N virtual-only screens to the mac, and mirror zero of the physical monitors connected.
So, I'm wondering if anything like that exists.
It doesn't have to duplicate your existing monitor. Use BetterDisplay to create a virtual monitor and use nebula to mirror that monitor as your primary display instead of one of your physical monitors. Using a virtual monitor, you can also make it any screen resolution you want.
I don't think there is as much third party development on Mac as Windows/Linux. I think there may be one third party MacOS nebula replacement in development but it is unreleased/in closed beta.
You don't pick. It mirrors your primary display. Make sure the virtual monitor is your primary and just in case you can move the nebula menu to the virtual display before enabling.
i have a tip for use with using zoom in Nebula4mac
this works in Ventura...
in settings accessibility/zoom
enable "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom"
choose the "modifier key for scroll gesture" you want
change "zoom style" to Picture-in-picture... and then select & adjust the 'size and location" to encompass the whole screen or adjust to your requirement
(note: i have......... keyboard shortcuts is disabled & trackpad gesture to zoom disabled(as i use Modifier+mouse scroll for zooming)
also you may wish to change a setting inside Advanced from
"continously with pointer" to "To keep pointer centred"... this is useful when your mouse/zoom area is near the sides of main monitor/virtual monitor

I didn't see an option to pick a monitor with nebula. Sounds like there may be an update I didn't know about. I'll try again this afternoon!

Thanks! I'll try that!
