Immersed VR is by far the best option for working in VR. Much more flexibility with the monitors, and the lag can be significantly down to 5 ms or less if you use the Wifi-direct feature.

Immersed is definitely better. I use this when I'm working out of my RV converted van. But I am definitely getting the Quest 3 when it comes out as the quest 2 is just not there when it comes to definition as the screen door effect is pretty bad on it.

I'm such a fan of this work style honestly.

Thanks for this. I tested it in Maya, Cinema 4D, with Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere. I haven’t tried it with ZBrush nor Davinci Resolve but so far so zippy. No lag unless I’m recording the screen to show how cool. Also, I use a Wacom tablet and that works. Oh, and I never got the see through keyboard working but without the side blockers, I saw my keyboard fine.

Thanks mate. This is by far the most clearly informative video about the topic.

I forced myself to use the Quest Pro every day for around 2-3weeks. I work in a 3D art production team from home. I found it to be usable but it needs more resolution. Even a bump of 10-25 percent would help. Another huge problem is the productivity software available. I used Workrooms, Immersed, and Virtual Desktop. Immersed had the worst quality but better customization. Workrooms had better quality but lacked basic features. Meta should have solid software if this is meant for working. Both programs suffered from bad antialiasing effects around windows and affected general readability. Virtual Desktop was the best in terms of quality. No weird antialiasing. It was smooth and consistent. One massive problem is the lack of virtual multi-monitor support. I use the Quest Pro every day for workouts and gaming. It's a great device for that purpose. It is not however in a good state to use as a daily work device. You can do it but I'd rather work on two small 1080p monitors than deal with the downsides.

Thanks for this incredibly thorough comment. Agree we can use a bit better resolution and I want less input lag so I can truly video edit. I too prefer to work with my monitor than use the Pro, but I like the idea and it worked very well - just have a long way to go, maybe a few years until it is where we need it to be. Apple’s headset could change the game…I hope so!

For you out there, hesitating to step into this world. Working with VR is a total different way of working. Workrooms is "the worst" way of doing it as the benefit is not useable. in immersed VR or vSpatial you can move the monitors to the distant or to the near witch sizes beyond "real world" my typical setup is 3 in a row and sometimes one in the middle above and I grab the one I need for the moment, the others are still visible.

I’m going to test out more workflow apps on Quest Pro. Do these need a PC or can some work on just the standalone headset?

My company built this exact experience and failed in 2017 for reasons that haven’t been resolved (even today)

I think that having a physical screen and using a webcam and mic for meetings is still much much better than whatever that is. Don't get me wrong, I love VR, but it's not even close to be ready to be used on a regular basis. Give it at least a decade if not more. In the meantime, all the functionalities you use here are readily available is a much simpler way, minus the sense of depth.

A challenging task for the quest pro, to track those cute waving hands 🤷🏻‍♂️🐶

Love love love this tech! This would work so well for a minimialist office where you have just a tiny mini PC tucked away/hidden and not even need monitor(s). Stow away the keyboard/mouse/headset when the PC is not in use. Beeing able to set your environment is amazing. I'd love to use this. Would really make working from home more interesting/fun. Meetings would be fun and more engaging too, especially when you're in meetings where no one turns on their cameras.

I like this video; shows the downsides of where the technology for headsets is currently at. I know, I know, I "don't get it" but even trying to get on the "pro" side of it, I'm not seeing the advantages of being in a virtual space than real-world space. Sure, you can transport yourself to another world, represent yourself as another being, but with a sub-par experience, this seems like it's not ready for commercial use. Yeah, the customer's data will help Meta improve, but these seem like still very lab-like proof of concepts rather than ready for people to actually use -- too many constraints. The processing power doesn't seem to be there, and certainly the battery life/energy use must still be pretty high. I kinda doubt Apple will be able to leapfrog with their version; hopefully it's more AR than VR. I am curious if the limitations on the number of screens is still limited by the computer itself -- ex. a MacBook Air can only handle one physical external screen, so presuming it's the same in the virtual world? The other bugs (moving around the screens move with you), and processing (video looking bad) is not an incentive to use it. And I definitely don't want to live in a cartoon world -- even if the avatars improve to the point that they're as good as deep-fakes are getting.

It's a virtual work environment that you can put in a backpack and take with you anywhere. That includes your virtual monitors, whiteboard, notes, and everything. For remote meetings, it's way more immersive to be able to interact with colleagues using your hands and markers/pens. It's a hard experience to convey over video and really something that you have to try for yourself for it to really click.

"Maybe meta will hard wire the headset into the computer so it can be faster" This is how it used to be actually. In the VR Social/Gaming community, we've been asking for modern headset manufacturers to quit it with this wi-fi or USB-C only connection garbage for a while now and they won't listen. It was so much better when the headsets were tethered and most people I know all agree that tethered headsets that are over 4 years old are still better than all of the modern headsets coming out lately.

The main limitation today for AR/VR is resolution/definition of the screen. The latter being so close to the eye that it would need a very high PPI (pixel per inch). Apple seems to be aware of this fact and will certainly use two relatively high definition screens and is investing a lot in research and development concerning pixel density. Plus, is order to cover the entirety of the field of view, we would need at least a 16k screen per eye. The technology is not yet ready or not commercially relevant.
