24 alternatives to DIY virtual HDMI monitor using "AR" glasses

I am making a virtual HDMI monitor using Viture Pro XR glasses and an SBC ( currently OrangePi 5 Plus because it has HDMI-in ). What it does is map the frames from the HDMI input onto a virtual display that is controlled by the IMU data from the glasses ( 3DOF only ). I've put AR in quotes in the title because many won't view those display glasses as true AR but by tracking the head movement it comes close. I am trying to build kind of a "low cost" version of a virtual screen that acts like a monitor and can be connected to anything that has an HDMI output I started off using the official…

    I wanted Apple Vision Pros, but I don’t have $3,500 in my back pocket. So I made Apple Vision Pros at home. This was just a fun little project I made. Currently, the website doesn't work on screens less than 1200x728 (Sorry mobile users!) It also might struggle on lower end devices. For best results, have a webcam pointing right at you. I tested my website with a MacBook camera.
