Can the Quest 3 Replace your Monitors?

Explanation below: What you're going to do is after you setup your desk in vr, you're going to look down at the desk. On the bottom right of your virtual desk, you'll see 2 icons. One of the Icons looks like an eye. When you hover your controller/finger pointer over this eye icon, it'll say "desk passthrough". Clicking on this icon will enable/disable desk passthrough, allowing you to see your physical keyboard in real life. I know you didn't ask for the other icon, but I'll explain for those curious: The other icon enables and disables the virtual desk "whiteboard". You can use the whiteboard to draw and write notes.

    I really wish Microsoft would collaborate with Valve and update Windows to support completely freeform window scaling in VR, so if you're in SteamVR you could have any program open as its own floating window and instead of it merely being a screen capture of the desktop (which tends to break when there are other programs in the same screen), it'd be an actual window in VR you can make as big as you want and place anywhere

    This is what has me on the fence about picking up the Q3. Meta's UX was clunky and fiddly in the Q2 and so far I am not seeing it being all that much better (save for removing the need to create a Guardian). I feel the Q3 is one or two iterations away from being a true game changer.

    Since they've added the option to toggle the ux between like projecting it out into space and it being a little screen you can carry around with you, it's been a big Improvement for hand tracking purposes. I definitely think there's some improvement, but I think the main issue is just getting used to using your hands to interact with something that's not really there. There's no haptic response when you touch a screen that's not physically there, versus if you're using the controllers there's some feedback and you know you touched something. Honestly with how much the quest to improved up until now, I would not be shocked if any of these things are at least addressed somewhat in the lifespan of the quest 3. So yeah I think the Quest 4 will not have very many UI quibbles. I don't think the quest 3 has too many either, but one full life cycle from now I think they will be sorted

    It's definitely at a Crossroads here. I feel like for some people it's going to be perfectly sufficient and for some people it's going to be not quite there. I haven't been able to spend tons of hours in front of it programming, just because it's been a pretty busy few weeks since release. But the few times that I have been in it for a while I didn't feel too much eye strain and I felt the tax quality was quite good. It's of course better when it's native and it's running on the headset, but even streaming a PC it felt very workable. I hope to do some more content after I've been able to live with it for a bit longer. I didn't even get my review up until Sunday, because I really wanted to spend almost two weeks with the device before giving any complete remarks.

    After watching countless videos of the Quest 3's passthrough before buying a headset and trying it for myself, I have to say it was a pretty big letdown. So many people made it seem I could just wear the headset around my house and have this great mixed reality experience, but the super low resolution and warping make it more of a gimmick that I'll probably never use than anything else. I have no doubt it'll only get better from here, I just can't see myself ever using it for anything other than quickly looking at something in my room while I'm playing a game.

    I'll be honest I was a bit let down too, especially when I viewed the demo before I purchased it at Best Buy. Pass through isn't nearly as crystal clear as they were able to make it look in a lot of their promos. But after using it, for most tasks it's completely sufficient to have an enjoyable experience, and in good lighting it's actually pretty decent. You just need really good lighting. In bad lighting it's pretty meh. But that's just cameras for you, you really need really fancy cameras and even then there's only so much we can do what you're trying to refresh image so fast without getting low exposure values

Some people have been noticing and claiming that the 128 gig seem to have more chance of having defects, although I'm not sure I'm convinced I could see them binning the cameras a little bit. I really hope they at least try to run some basic post processing over the camera feed, there's a lot of algorithms out there that don't require too much horsepower from the chip, and I would we willing to sacrifice 20 or so minutes of battery life if it got me a much better pass through picture.

    I ordered a quest 3 for this exact reason. Ended up returning it since I didn’t see myself using it long term due to a few reasons. Resolution needs to be better, device needs be lighter, and I find that the virtual desktop experience was laggy. Still hopeful that this tech will eventually replace monitors.

    Honestly I don't think we're looking at decades I think we're looking at 5 to 10 years tops. Smartphones have only been around a little over a decade, and they honestly exploded and functionality in the first 5 to 8 years and it really just been simmering with incremental quality of life improvements as of late. VR has been around no more than a decade, what was it 2013 or 2014 it started becoming somewhat consumer grade ( even though it was still niche). With the fact that most Standalone Hardware is based off of smartphone tech, the only real Frontier that needs to be grappled with is some of the Optics and Camera Tech which is getting better all the time, and some of the ergonomics although those are kind of tightly coupled. Meta has a road map for 2027 or 2028 for them to release true AR smart glasses, and you already have things at the xreal that are starting to provide some of those features I'll be without much of the compute capability. I think it's all a lot closer than anyone thinks.

    I have 4k monitors and it brings my computer to a crawl, about 15 FPS. The problem in Workrooms is you can't do fine placement the screens. The 4K monitor is huge and I have to look around the virtual space to see the corners. Not worth it. And streaming to the high resolution displays on the 3 takes a lot of resources. Doesn't help that I have lots of Chrome tabs, Rider IDE taking 7gb minimum, and other dev tools. Bottom line, upgrade your monitors if you need more screen real estate.

    Unfortunately you can't get 4k resolution. Technically it's possible to get it streamed to the headset, but the headset display is only Max 2K per eye. Although I think this is a good option if someone wants a way of using multiple monitors on the go like if they only wanted to bring one device and a laptop, but I don't think it'd be a good daily driver as the only means of multiple monitor at home. That's mostly due to the Comfort though more than anything else since it is a little heavy. I feel like as the software matures something more like the XREAL or Rokid glasses is probably more comparable to what you're looking for, unless you plan to use some of the Q3 gaming capabilities as well. That said, they recently launched office apps on the quest, so if that continues to evolve maybe it will serve as a portable computer solution for some people so you don't have to bring a second device when traveling.

And then try to do some sort of through the lens comparison as well. The higher resolution is not the entire picture, because not only does the equestrian have a higher resolution but the lenses are so much clearer, it really feels like and even larger upgraded in some ways. There is a little bit of a negative in that the pixel/displays in the quest 3 are angled relative to your eyes, so the pixels are diagonal.

    At the moment it doesn't look like there's hand tracking is very well supported in regards to actually interfacing with your streamed windows pc. There are ways to use hand tracking with Godot if you sideload the engine as an Android app, but then you're limited to only one window not multi window, and there's limitations on resizing an export functionalities. Honestly I think that now that mixed reality is actually possible we're going to hopefully see some improvements to some of the software

    Do you think this would work with games that support ultrawide settings or triple monitors. I just want to be able to play driving games with a 180-degree field of view without having to own three monitors due to space and expense concerns. One example would be American Truck Simulator. I have a wheel, side panel, and 18-speed shifter mapped out to a lot of the functions of the truck. I can play in VR but then I don't see my own controls and it becomes a hassle when I want to get up and move around. Are you able to resize the virtual monitors and adjust their relative angles?

I can't speak for American Truck Simulator but some of the other racing Sim games actually support VR natively so you don't even have to use Virtual monitors. You can actually run the game in VR and look around inside your cab with your head

    If you are streaming your PC to the quest 3 like in this video, you need to have a reasonably modern computer. I have ran the client on my laptop and my desktop and my laptop does not have a dedicated gpu, just an i5 11th gen. But that's just for streaming office applications and web browsers. If you want to run PC games games you need a dedicated GPU. However recently office applications from Microsoft came to the quest 3 natively so you can install them from the app store on the quest directly. They're not quite as polished as the PC versions but they're getting better, and you can have a second window open for a browser to do some multitasking. Same goes for some of the options for VR games that run straight on the quest without a PC at all.

If a quest two isnt good enough, would a quest 3 be good for long hours of doing homework and other 2d workplace things?

    If you only want 1 monitor, 100% go 4k 32" if it's the same price as a Q2, or even Q3 if you ONLY want 1 monitor and don't game in VR. I've used a Q3 and its mostly comfortable until 2-4 hours, although longer than that requires a recharge break or an extended battery, so it's not so bad. Better straps get better comfort. Q2 resolution left text at a virtual distance a little fuzzy, while Q3 felt pretty usable for 3 monitor applications and if you want more monitors at the cost of Resolution (best resolution is 2k on a Quest 3, if your virtual monitor fills your vision) then the Quest 3 is best. So if you need 1 high quality monitor, buy a monitor. If up to 3 (5 with some desktop streamers) lower res monitors (1080p-1440p) would be better, get a Quest 3. Quest 2 is decent at 100-150 to try it out and see what you think, but the black and white passthrough and lower res is definitely a bit of a limiting factor.

    Yes this is possible, although generally you're going to have a better experience if you're playing with your keyboard and mouse or controller connected to the PC directly rather than the headset. It's possible to connect a controller or a mouse and keyboard directly to the headset via Bluetooth or USB and have it streamed to the PC, but this introduces latency, as well as for some reason there's a limitation in the quest operating system such that the mouse can't move infinitely in a Direction. This makes it very difficult to play an FPS. If you are using a controller, or your devices are connected directly to the computer it's a great experience overall. I did a video covering a similar use case, where I used my steam Deck with steam link and it worked pretty well, and you can do the same with a Windows PC using steam link or virtual desktop
